        I have absolutely nothing against porn stars. Pretty sure a lot of them are just nice and smart people and doing porn is just a pretty well paying job. Calling this vile cunt a porn star is an insult to people who work for their money

        Even if that was true, he had more talent and charisma than the entire Kardashian/Jenner clan combined in his gyrating hips alone.

    From the article

    Kardashian’s advocacy has been credited in part with opening the former president up to the idea of criminal justice reform, eventually leading to the passage of the First Step Act in 2018. The prison-reform law marked a rare moment of bipartisanship during Trump’s presidency, and even some of his harshest critics have lauded its passage.

    Not a fan of her or her show but I’m all for her using her fame to help make changes to help people reintegrate back into society.

    Think of her what you will but in 2019 she had helped 17 people to get released from prison for non-violent drug crimes and that number is probably much larger today. She has done more good in the world than 99% of the people shitting on her.

      She’s also done more harm than 99% by inspiring shit culture.

          My best guess is that they’re talking about “reality” TV, mobile games etc. with little artistic or entertainment value.

      It irks me that she and her family uses the fame of OJ Simpson lawyer Ropert Kardashian to profit off it. Nobody knew the name Kardashian before Simpson murdered two people. A double homicide shouldn’t be the launch of a business empire. I find it immortal but I respect other views as well.

    Seems absurd but I know nothing about Kim Kardashian, other than she has a famous butt.

    Does anyone know if she’s actually got some expertise on this?

      She has done some advocacy for this in the past, but really beyond leveraging her fame not really.
