Even now, with her current status as a global icon and entrepreneur, Kardashian still becomes the subject of much scrutiny.
But among all, one of the most enduring conspiracy theories surrounding Kim Kardashian is about the existence of her son Saint West. Back in 2015, when Kardashian’s son was born, she purposefully kept his identity hidden from the public and media, which led to people assuming at great lengths, concerning his existence.
A Shocking Conspiracy Theory Surrounding Kim Kardashian
Although we know that with fame and popularity comes rumors and negativity, untimely no celebrity ever grows immune to such bizarre public claims and scrutiny. Meanwhile, the Kardashians seem to be on the top of such wild controversies and speculations. Starting from Kim Kardashian’s rise to fame orchestrated by her family to Kylie Jenner’s plastic surgery speculations, people seem to rip them apart with frequent conspiracy theories.
But even among the Kardashians and the Jenners, Kim Kardashian being the most popular, is often subject to humiliation and criticism on social media. Tracked by the media and the public at every step, the SKIMS founder has often been the epicenter of controversies surrounding the family. However, among all claims, the wildest one appeared following the birth of her son, Saint West.
Considering that Kim Kardashian keeps posting about her life, family, children, and career, people were shocked when the make-up mogul kept her son incognito. Saint West was born in 2015, but since the TV star rarely posted about her newborn son on social media, people started considering her reluctance to post, equivalent to her son’s non-existence. Soon a conspiracy theory rose from the dust claiming that Saint West was a fake baby.
Kim Kardashian Addressed the Conspiracy About Her Son
Well certainly, people went to extreme lengths to justify why Kim Kardashian wasn’t posting about her son. Instead of looking for obvious reasons, like privacy concerns and well-being, netizens sparked conspiracy theories about Saint West being a non-existent baby. Finally, after months of maintaining silence, Kardashian finally addressed the rumor and offered her response at the BlogHer conference in Los Angeles, via The Mirror.
“If you don’t share something, it’s like it doesn’t exist. So truly, I was not posting about my son because I wanted him to be able to go to the park every single day like a normal human being and nobody knows who he is.”
“He’s eight months old now, and people thought he didn’t exist. People thought I had a whole fake baby and I made this whole thing up because I wasn’t posting about it. And to me, that’s so ridiculous.”
Kim Kardashian insisted that she’s very protective of her children and is adamant about their well-being. Therefore, she often goes to extreme lengths to keep them safe and hidden from media attention. Being in the limelight, Kardashian is well aware of how rumors and controversies can ruin lives, therefore, she claims to maintain a safe distance between her children and the media.
While Kim Kardashian’s comments were rational, people’s wild conspiracy theories surrounding the existence of Saint West now sound bizarre and truly ridiculous. But once again, despite the constant barrage of conspiracy theories and speculations, the influencer maintained transparency and shut down the trolls.
