Kim Kardashian Issues Long-Awaited Statement About Motherhood
I don't know if you heard, but Kim Kardashian had a baby. The baby's name is North West, and the dad is Kanye West.
In a move that's somewhat out of character, Kim has been staying out of the public eye as she adjusts to the demands of her newborn and basks in the all-encompassing glory that is having sprung a child free from her vagina.
But those days of silence are over. Kim has released a poignant, telling and thoughtful statement about motherhood on her blog, and while it isn't accompanied by photos of her baby (BITCH, PLEASE, THAT SHIT WILL COST YOU), it's still...well, it's kind of lovely:
Hey guys, These past couple of weeks have been filled with the most exciting experiences of my life. I’m enjoying this time to fully embrace motherhood and spend time at home with my family. I’ve been reading all of your messages and want to thank you all for your sweet thoughts and best wishes. It truly means everything to me. I am so blessed to have the support of my family and fans in this beautiful moment. Xo
With love,
Kim
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
