Kim Kardashian Teams Up With Ivanka Trump To Condemn Kanye’s “Anti-Semantic” Hate Rants
Former Billionaire and rapper Kanye West must feel really hurt right now.
As his wealth and networth momentarily dwindles in response to major companies dropping him as a partner left and right, but the woman women YE thought would be his life partner forever, is completing siding against Kanye and continuing to distance herself from him.
In a bold but silent PR move Kim Kardashian dined with Ivanka Trump over the weekend and made sure TMZ knew.
On Sunday night, October 23, Kim and Ivanka spent three hours dining at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The world learned about this momentous meal from a TMZ post the following morning, which framed it as “old friends back together.”

We know the Kardashian family too well to believe they would do anything out of the blue, that’s not perfectly scripted to increase visibility, income or to make a statement.
The Intelligencer Reports:
The celebrity-gossip site notes that Ivanka and Kim were “involved in the same circles growing up” and met at the White House several times during Donald Trump’s administration.
And since both women are entrepreneurs with October birthdays, TMZ speculates that the dinner could have been “a simple business meeting or a birthday bash for one of the 2.”
If this was just a PR stunt, Ivanka was the perfect partner. By dining with Kim, Ivanka (who famously converted to Judaism when she married Jared Kushner) signaled that she does not hold Kim responsible for Ye’s antisemitic remarks, which have led multiple brands to cut ties with the artist — most recently, Adidas and Gap. Plus it shows that she and her family bear Kim no ill will, although, as People explains, Ye attacked the Kushners on Instagram earlier this month:
Much of the comments centered on a since-deleted Instagram post in which West wrote, “F— JOSH KUSHNER,” slamming the younger Kushner for investing in his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s underwear line SKIMS (an investment that was made by Kushner’s company Thrive Capital before the two announced their public breakup).
West added a message about Josh’s older brother, writing: “JARED WAS HOLDING TRUMP BACK.”
Ye accused Jared of stifling Donald Trump’s genius in an interview with Tucker Carlson, per People:
“After talking to them and really sitting with Jared and sitting with Josh and finding out other pieces of information, I was like, wow, these guys might’ve really been holding Trump back and being very much a handler [during the administration],” West said. “They love to just look at me or look at Trump like we’re so crazy and that they’re the businessmen.”
West added that the Kushners “weren’t serving my boy Trump the way we could have, because, you know, Trump wanted nothing but the best for this country.”
Ye has not gone after Ivanka specifically and actually proclaimed, at the end of his social media rant, “IVANKA IS FIRE,” but Parler accidentally revealed her private email address to hundreds of people when it announced that Ye was buying the site.
The Kivanka summit came as Kim was facing increasing pressure to speak out after a hate group hung a banner over a Los Angeles highway overpass on Saturday that read “Honk if you know Kanye is right about the Jews.” (Many social-media users have insisted that Kim shouldn’t be asked to answer for remarks made by her ex, who has been public about his struggles with bipolar disorder.)
For those not fluent in celebrity PR messaging, Kim rejected antisemitism more clearly in a social-media post on Monday, though she did not name Ye.
Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.

Nothing your ex-husband said was technically wrong…

You could have decided to say nothing at all but of course you would do anything for those kids to have no father 🤡

A white man wanting black kids taken away from their black father. Typical.

95% of Jews (including me) are middle class or poor. Small % has disproportionate wealth for size but not even close to 'most' of it, so don't just blame 'Jews' for 5% of us getting rich. I don't own any companies or have any power.

We see why you left Kanye W. Sorry for the years and struggles you’ve been through with him

You know what people have done to your ex husband in the past to spark him mentioning people, I believe you’re only saying this to save face and save brand.
