We’re due for a Popular reunion.
Yes she did. She’s also the last one to talk about relationships. Her Come To My Window, was an ode to Julie Cypher, who was married to Lou Diamond Philips at the time she was wooing her with those sweet words.
That is what you think is “click baity?” That’s the most newsy part of the whole thing.
You know what’s fucking tired? People mistaking getting criticized for having an opinion with not being allowed to have an opinion.
Yeah, how dare anyone purchase anything beyond necessity while people elsewhere suffer. Better not buy a nice car or a house.. someone is starving somewhere.
“But I have to ask, legitimately: just how much sense does it make to travel with $10M+ in jewelry? Why wouldn’t it occur to someone that – gee whiz – they might be making themselves a target for unwanted attention?”
Yeah, that sounds pretty victim blamey.
Your comment reminds me of the old, “if she didn’t want to get raped she shouldn’t have...”. I don’t like the whole kardashian brand but she didn’t deserve to be violated.
It’s not even that far of a leap to make! The woman was physically assaulted in her hotel room, while in a bathrobe, she thought she was going to be raped, she was bound and gagged.
I’ve not heard of people being robbed at gunpoint while in Paris for fashion events or those where there are even more jewels around like the debutante ball. So this situation isn’t all that common.

“None of this is meant as victim-blaming. What happened to her was deplorable and she didn’t deserve it. But you know... when I’m wearing nice rings on the subway late at night, I turn them so the stones are not in sight, eh?”
*proceeds to say some incredibly victim-blaming garbage bullshit*
Let’s change your sentence…
Her engagement ring accounted for almost half of the $11 million. She wasn’t necessary traveling with a steamer trunk filled with jewels - she may actually have lost only five or six more pieces in addition to the ring. Her bodyguard was with her sisters, who were at a nightclub. Also, I read somewhere that none of…
Saying that a robbery victim shouldn’t have brought her valuables wth her, and that she did was the reason she was robbed IS victim blaming, you dipshit.
Carrying around millions of dollars of jewelry when going to something like a Parisian fashion week isn’t all that unusual if that’s the kind of jewelry you own. People also bring hundreds of thousands of dollars of couture from previous seasons and other luxury items. For once, you’re going to be seen by people who…
who the fuck cares? it was her jewelry, she owned it, and she is entitled to wear it wherever the fuck she pleases. it is not a reason that she should be robbed and menaced and caused to be in fear for her life.
She’s attending Paris Fashion Week, where she knows she will be filmed, photographed, and written about. Part of her brand is being fashionable and she can’t repeat outfits. She wasn’t carrying it all around; she was robbed in her hotel room. It makes sense to me that she would travel with a lot of expensive jewelry…
No. That’s a reductive and shameful straw man fallacy.
