cost of living crisis in a generation, then how about a flutter on a billionaire’s love life? I know. It sounds bizarre, but we are talking about Kim Kardashian – whose entire being seems to be up for discussion and commodification, so it’s all good. Yep.
That’s right. You can place bets on which bloke Kimmie will get off with in the near future. Sounds trite? Maybe a bit weird? Well, given that you can gamble online on just about anything, including ferret bingo, it’s perhaps not that strange that the most talked about, most photographed woman in the world generates interest from online gambling companies.
Some of Kardashian’s fans aren’t impressed, though. One Tik Tok user, pop culture commenter @laurenisgossip, railed that the suggestions for Kardashian’s next love interest amounted to “the most absurd list of names that I’ve seen”. The caption to her video was even more incensed: “How is this even legal, it’s messed up.
” Well, you can bet on celebrity deaths too, but I take her point. Other fans seemed to agree that taking bets on the celebrity’s next boyfriend was beyond the pale. “I’m not a fan, but this is actually really gross.
Why are y’all so pressed that you’re willing to put money on this?” Another commenter added, “this is disgusting”. It’s perhaps not that shocking that there’d be interest in Kardashian’s love life following her split from Pete Davidson. I mean, she has spent the last decade and a half commodifying every aspect of her life, including her sex life, for the public.
What is weird, however, is that no one seems to have considered that Kim’s options extend beyond getting a boyfriend. She might, for example, get a girlfriend. She might even… and imagine this… choose to be single! I know, I know,
