Kylie Jenner has finally broken her silence on Jordyn Woods. The 21-year old was asked by The New York Times this weekend about her duplicitous ex-best friend, whose spit was swapped with that of Tristan Thompson several weeks ago. While Thompson was still dating Kylie’s sister, of course, Khloe. The cheating scandal has dominated nearly every Jenner-Kardashian related headline since. In the aforementioned newspaper story, which focuses on this family’s ridiculously successful business empire, Kylie was asked about the Jordy Lip Kit, which was named in Woods’ honor, and how it’s now being discounted in the wake of the affair. This news came as a shock to Kylie. Jenner told journalist Amy Chozick that she had no idea the price had been cut in half on this product — and called an employee as soon as she found out. the truth. Explaining that it had been put on sale a few weeks earlier, when the company’s packaging was switched from white to black, she said: “This is just not my character. I would never do something like that and when I saw it, I was like, thrown back. Jordyn knows I didn’t actually put it on sale.” So, no, Jenner didn’t really give her thoughts here on Jordyn’s actions with Tristan. But she did express some sentiment about something related to it at least. Woods moved out of Kylie’s guest house last month after the cheating scandal went viral. There has been allegations that Kylie was contemplating whether or not to continue the friendship, and that she grew so stressed over the entire thing that she stepped away from filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians for a bit even. Just this past Friday, meanwhile, fans speculated that Jenner was hurling shade at her former close pal by promoting a different false eyelash brand while Woods is London doing press for her Eylure x Jordyn Woods line. On the business side of things: Earlier today, the price of the sold-out Jordy lip kit had been restored to $27. Elsewhere, the special Kylie x Jordyn best friend line, which the pair launched in September, was selling both an eyeshadow palette and a highlighter quad palette at full price. We know this is the information you’ve been dying to know in regard to Jordyn Woods. Jordyn Woods: I SWEAR I’m No Homewrecker! The 21-year old occasional reality star and social media personality spoke to Jada Pinkett Smith after she made out with Thompson and said she made a mistake. She should never have done back to Tristan’s house with a group of friends, she confessed. But she also insisted that she didn’t sleep with Thompson and that he initiated their kiss on her way out of the gathering. “No passion, no nothing, on the way out,” she told Pinkett Smith. “He just kissed me. Like a kiss on the lips, no tongue kiss, no making out, nothing.” Still, despite this claim, sources have said the friendship between Woods and Jenner is over . “I’m no home wrecker,” Woods said in this same interview, adding: “I would never try to hurt someone’s home, especially someone that I love. And someone that I’ve seen — has a beautiful daughter. I never was trying to steal someone’s man.” Khloe, of course, is done with both Tristan and Jordyn. Woods and Kylie, though, have been as close as possible for years now. They worked together on a makeup collaboration for Kylie Cosmetics, which was released in September 2018 — and Woods gushed to Us Weekly about her friendship with Jenner at the time. “We’re very much the same, but we’re also very different. I think that’s what makes us best friends,” she said. “We are always on the same page about things.” View Slideshow: Jordyn Woods: Who is Kylie Jenner’s BFF (and Khloe’s Home-Wrecker)?!
For Jazz Jennings, the complications after her bottom surgery were worth it, because she can now live as her authentic self without dysphoria. It also paid off for her show, I Am Jazz , whose ratings were through the roof. Now, the GLAAD Award winning reality series has been renewed for yet another season. The Wrap excitedly reports that I Am Jazz has been renewed by TLC. The show’s sixth season, which has now been greenlit, will air in 2020. Season 5 showcased some pivotal moments in Jazz’s life. Jazz, who is now 18, underwent bottom surgery, fulfilling her lifelong dream of having a vagina. Fans saw her grapple with complications — and get serious with a new boyfriend . Howard Lee, president and general manager of TLC, spoke about how excited he is for I Am Jazz to continue. “Jazz is the quintessential example of living authentically and embracing one’s true self,” Lee begins. “And,” his statement continues. “That is what TLC seeks to celebrate in all of our programming.” Some shows succeed more at that goal than others. “Jazz’s story has inspired viewers across America,” Lee notes. “And,” Lee says, Jazz’s show has “never more so than this past year.” He notes that viewers tuned in and watched Jazz “during the most important moment of her life.” That would be her gender confirmation surgery. “We are proud that Jazz and her family have allowed TLC to follow along on her journey,” he expresses. “And,” Lee concludes. “We look forward with great excitement to sharing the next chapter of her life with our devoted audience.” I Am Jazz ‘s eventful fifth season paid off where it counts — in viewership. Season six was it’s highest-rated season among women in the 18-49 range and in the 25-54 range. (Yes, there is some overlap there — but those are coveted demographics, especially since most television viewers are women) Season 5 averaged about 1.4 million viewers per episode. Overall, Season 5’s numbers were reportedly the highest in the show’s history. Jazz’s success is especially notable because so many people have tried to tear down the show — and her, personally. Notably, time after time, former Counting On star Derick Dillard has verbally attacked Jazz simply for existing as herself. He is not alone, unfortunately. Trans folks have always been among us, but never before have they been as visible to the public eye as during the past several years. Unfortunately, that makes them an easy target for bigots — and for any politician or entertainer who wishes to cater to bigots. Jazz hopes that sharing her story, with all of its ups and downs, will help to change hearts and minds. As you probably noticed if your social media feeds look anything like mine, Thursday night was the annual GLAAD Awards. Jazz Jennings was in attendance … but had to bow out. “I didn’t survive the red carpet tonight,” Jazz admitted in an Instagram post. “My social anxiety got the best of me,” she explained. “And I had to remove myself from that situation.” “I’m feeling better now,” Jazz noted. “But no one talks about how stressful it can be for 10 cameras to be flashing in your face with paparazzi screaming your name.” “It’s not for everyone,” Jazz concluded. “Especially not someone with crippling anxiety.” View Slideshow: Jazz Jennings Dismisses Derick Dillard: Who Cares What He Says?!?

The 14-year-old says that he enjoyed that cookies and cream milkshake — that is, until the next day, when he found out he wasn’t the only one who had taken part in sipping on the order from Cold Stone Creamery. “My dad told me to check out the video from last night — and once I checked it out I [watched] five, six times,” the teen told FOX40 . “I felt really disgusted about what had happened.” He continued, “I looked at it, [and thought], ‘Hey, the guy who delivered the food was sipping out of my son’s Cold Stone,’” said the father and homeowner, Rajesh Malhotra. “I was like, ‘Whoa, that’s crazy.’ I mean, how can someone jeopardize the product like that, especially the food?” The Malhotra family says they’re glad no one got sick from the incident, but obviously, the experience has left them with a bad taste in their mouths when it comes to ever using a food delivery service again. “We have trust between the company and the drivers,” Rajesh explained. “Once that trust is broken, we can’t go back to them.” “They just need proper training, Rajesh continued. “Hey, what you did was wrong — and we want to make sure that he doesn’t do that to other people.” The family expects an apology from DoorDash–though they The homeowner told FOX40 he reported the incident to the company the next day and provided a copy of the video, which was more than two weeks ago.

Every now and then, on a random Tuesday when most people are minding their own business and have too much going on in their lives to worry about anyone else, some man will take it upon himself to offer his unsolicited opinion on women’s attire. It could be anything from the weave in her hair to the color on her lip to the length of her dress, somewhere, some man is going to find an issue with one of those things and feel compelled to let the world know. And while the resounding response from women will be to ignore said man and not give a damn. One thing that shouldn’t be ignored are the male microagressions that prompt this sort of behavior and what we can do about them.

Earlier this week, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians trailer dropped, revealing Khloe screaming that her “family was ruined.” On the same day as that meltdown teaser aired, Khloe took to Instagram to share some not-so-subtle messages, as is her habit. In them, she doubles down on her dislike of Jordyn Woods, accusing her of “playing the victim.” Khloe Kardashian has been in the habit for months now of vagueposting on Instagram. Where some might subtweet, writing “annoyed af right now” without context, Khloe has developed a particular style. She shares posts that appear to be words of wisdom or pieces of advice in a format usually used by, frankly, much much older folks on social media. But Khloe’s messages appear to be extremely relevant to her life, and it is believed that when she shares them, it’s meant as commentary. Khloe’s latest post reads: “Stay away from people who play the victim knowing they’re in the wrong.” If you think that Khloe is talking about Jordyn Woods, you’re not alone. HollywoodLife explains that Khloe is still hung up on the much younger woman, and that it’s about more than just the kiss with Tristan. “Khloe still cannot believe Jordyn is telling people she reached out to her,” an insider reports. Additionally, the source says that “Khloe doesn’t understand why Jordyn went on Jada’s show.” “She’s finding it very hard to wrap her head around,” the insider describes. “And,” the source adds, Khloe “is telling people she doesn’t think she’ll ever be able to forgive her for that.” “It’s not the fact that she hooked up with Tristan,” the insider reports. “Khloe wishes Jordyn just called her and said, ‘I made a mistake and I’m sorry,’” the source explains. “And,” the source concludes. “She’s upset she never got that.” It sounds like Khloe wants Jordyn to grovel before her and just accept the version of events that Khloe has decided to believe. When Jordyn told the world that Tristan gave her an unsolicited kiss, Khloe accused her of “lying.” “Narcissists have tow sets of rules,” Khloe shared in yet another Instagram Story. “They demand YOU do all the apologizing,” the post continues. “YOU respect them, YOU can’t say anything or criticize them.” “YOU do whatever they say,” it adds. “And YOU can’t have feelings or express those feelings.” “However,” Khloe’s post observes. “None of those feelings apply to them.” While this could be a general piece of advice post, it appears that Khloe is talking about how she feels silenced and wrongfully maligned. Khloe continues: “They can do and say whatever they want, whenever they want.” That reminds us a little of Khloe’s issues with Jordyn going on Red Table Talk , though we’re not sure that this is all about Jordyn. The post says that narcissists “never apologize.” Narcissists are also allowed, by their rules, to “be totally disrespectful.” “And,” the post concludes. “They seem to think it’s perfectly fine.” While that sounds like a description of plenty of people’s toxic parents, Khloe seems to share things that hit closer to home. The latest Keeping Up With The Kardashians trailer includes Khloe going through a lot of emotional turmoil. One scene shows her screaming “LIAR!!!” mid-conversation into her phone. Another shows her screaming that her “family was RUINED.” Many sympathized with Khloe a year ago when Tristan’s cheating scandal was exposed (the one-year anniversary of that will be April 10). But when Khloe kept him in her life and then lashed out very publicly at Jordyn Woods as she did, people did not appreciate it. Perhaps Khloe shared these quotes because she doesn’t want to be ridiculed for all of that screaming. After the backlash that her anti-Jordyn tweet received, maybe Khloe wants to avoid being told to shush. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Attacks Jordyn Woods, Gets DRAGGED on Twitter
