Of all the people in the world to ask about the rise of sex tapes and revenge porn, Kim Kardashian was undoubtedly a smart choice.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians starlet was asked to weigh in on the concept in a recent New York Magazine interview, but the task was especially “tricky” due to her own personal experience with the subject and brother Rob Kardashian‘s ongoing lawsuit with Blac Chyna over the same matter.

As our readers will recall, Chyna filed a huge lawsuit against Rob for damaging her personal brand when he released nude shots of the star online without permission back in 2017. At the time, the now 31-year-old was determined to make her baby daddy pay “a big fat check” upwards of seven figures for his shady, revenge porn scheme.
Dream Kardashian‘s momma also cited the 32-year-old’s “verbal and physical abuse” towards her in the legal docs filed against him, and a judge later granted the star — whose real name is Angela White — a restraining order against Rob. Over time, the co-parents have since found a way to amicably deal with one another for the sake of their daughter, for the most part!
Another quick refresher: Kim was notoriously put on the world’s radar back in 2002 after a sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J was leaked. The move catapulted Kanye West‘s wife and her famous family into the spotlight and they’ve embraced it ever since.
All things considered, KKW was stumped by the idea of how the situations relate when it comes to the idea of outing intimate moments online. She said:
“I never even thought about that. I guess that question is a bit tricky. Not even for my situation, but because my brother did post photos of his baby mama and he’s in a revenge-porn lawsuit.”
Hmm, really? So tight-lipped on a subject like this?
The reality TV star tip-toed around a direct answer because she apparently did not want to publicly step on her brother’s toes in this case:
“Obviously, I get the difference. And I would talk about me, but I don’t know the right thing to say without making him feel like the biggest piece of s***.”
Well, that response says a lot in itself!
Sure, Mrs. West technically found a way to profit from her own scandal in the long run while Chyna specifically claimed her situation cost her money via tarnished endorsement deals — but the retaliation act is super gross, to begin with!
In a weird, follow-up comment, Kim also went on to say that dynamics between men and women have changed in the era of #MeToo:
“I think the Me Too culture goes into the cancel-culture realm, where maybe … Well, I don’t want to speak for people who have been sexually assaulted because I actually don’t know what that’s like. But even just finding love in the workplace … That used to be the only way, you know? So many of my parents’ friends married their secretaries, and were together for 40 years, and have children together. And now it’s like, ‘Oh, how could you?'”
Uhh, someone please tell her these two things are definitely not the same!!
