8 When Kanye West Received A Doctorate Degree
Kanye West received an honorary doctoral degree from the Art Institute of Chicago. Now let’s put this in perspective. Remember way back in 2009 at the VMAs when Taylor Swift won over Beyonce? Swift began her acceptance speech and West suddenly joined her onstage to say, “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time.” West later apologized to Swift on his blog. He said,
“I’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment! Beyonce’s video was the best of this decade! I’m sorry to my fans if I let you guys down! I’m sorry to my friends at mtv. I will apologize to taylor 2mrw. welcome to the real world! everybody wanna booooo me but i’m a fan of real pop culture!”
His apology, of course, is not a real apology. Saying Beyonce’s video was the best video of this decade just repeats what he said when he dissed Taylor. Maybe he was being ironic, but then again, we’re pretty sure he doesn’t know what that means. His non-apology is one of the strangest things a celeb could say, leaving Swift crying backstage. Tons of fans took to social media to express their disdain. So, yeah, this is another way the clan broke the internet.
7 When Kim Shared A Pregnant Selfie
Kim and Kanye welcomed their first baby, daughter North West, in June 2013, and have been posting adorable Instagram photos of their little girl ever since. But in 2015, the couple told the media that they were trying to have another baby for some time now and the IVF treatments she got have never worked. When she was first pregnant with North West, she was publically criticized that she had gained a lot of weight. You know, because that doesn’t usually happen when you have a bun in the oven. Then, when she finally got pregnant in 2005 with her second child, critics also claimed the opposite, that she was “too skinny to be pregnant at all.” So which is it? Kim had enough with the haters. When she was six-months pregnant, she took to Instagram, which was picked up by ET, and said,
“First they say I’m too skinny so I have to be faking it…Now they say I’m too big so I have to be faking it…SMH! Some days I’m photographed before I eat & look smaller, some days I’ve just eaten & I look bigger. It’s all a part of the process.”
But that wasn’t all that she posted. She also posted a photo of herself completely out of the woods from the side, showing her huge baby bump, just like Demi Moore did back in the day. The photo was untouched. There was no photoshop or filtering. So Kim’s snap was a fight back in the best way she knew how: showing herself basking in the intense sunlight. But she kept up her manners. Her comment on her photo was diplomatic.
6 When Khloe Fought Back
Khloe Kardashian, like sister Kim, has her haters as well. But maybe Khloe’s anti-fans are more derisive. Before she lost all her weight and called it Revenge Body, as we mentioned here, she was called “the fat one.” But now, according to People and after getting into a routine that made her drop 40 pounds and spawned the show Revenge Body on E!, Khloe was peeved when she one day was caught by the paps wearing loose sweatpants and a loose long-sleeve T-shirt, prompting gossip that she had regained the weight she lost. One thing we know about Khloe is that she is not afraid to fight off body shamers. She is usually seen wearing form-fitting clothes, but the one day she goes out in baggy clothes, the world notices.
She took to Twitter and said, “So rude of people to say I’m getting fat because I wore baggy clothes to get laser hair removal. It’s called being comfortable people.”
According to People’s “fat story” about Khloe, the K sister works hard to maintain her svelte body. She works with famed star trainer Gunnar Peterson five days a week and does cardio on the weekends. On Revenge Body, she goes all out in helping others attain the body they want. And she even posts some photos and videos of her workout sessions on her social media pages for more help. She said,“I definitely think the physical and the mental go hand in hand. . . .I feel so good in the gym that it [affects] the rest of my day. It’s a healthy addiction. It’s like buying your sanity!”
