Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian's fans have her back as they quickly defended the star after a fan made a rude comment to her during her date with Pete Davidson. Saturday night, Kim stepped out for another date in Staten Island with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. The comedian, who would have been working, had the night off as the show had a COVID outbreak and sent the cast home. Pete exchanged his typical late-night comedy gig for seeing the new Marvel film, Spider-Man: No Way Home. The pair previously had a private and romantic dinner in Pete's hometown in early November.
Kim filed for divorce from husband Kanye West in early 2021 after being married for almost seven years. The reality tv star first sparked dating rumors with Pete when she hosted an episode of SNL in October, and the two kissed in a skit playing Disney characters Aladdin and Jasmine. Later that month, they were spotted on a double date at Knott's Scary Farm with Kim's sister Kourtney Kardashian and her fiance Travis Barker. They've since been seen on dates several times and are reportedly having a really good time together. Kanye has publicized his disapproval many times and has refused to give up on their marriage, even taking to social media to try and win Kim back.
When Kim stepped out in Staten Island with Pete Saturday night, one fan made a rude remark regarding her and Pete's fling. The fan said, "Yo Kim, Kanye's way better, I'm not even gon' hold you." In the video shared on Twitter, Kim quickly walked by with her bodyguard, not responding to the fan's comment. However, fans of the KUWTK alum were quick to jump to her side. The user monalisaney81 replied, "This is so misogynistic. I don't see people doing this shit to Kanye. Kim is allowed to move on if she wants."
As a person in the public eye, Kim has received backlash over almost every decision she makes. When rumors of her and Pete started swirling around the internet, many were quick to question why someone like Kim would date someone like Pete. A lot of fans questioned the appeal of Pete, wondering why he could so easily date beautiful women like Kim, Ariana Grande, or model Kaia Gerber. The public has also pointed out the thirteen-year age difference between Kim and Pete, finding it strange that they would be together. However, the two continue to enjoy their time together regardless of public opinions.
Kim has been open about how unhappy she was in her marriage to Kanye and about feeling like a failure on her third divorce, making the fan's comment that much more upsetting. While Kim and Pete may seem like rich celebrities who are unaffected by public opinions, they're human beings. Even if Kim acts unphased, she's broken down in many KUWTK clips proving she is a sensitive person who is affected by the cruel things people say about her. Regardless of the fan's opinion, the comment was unnecessary. Luckily Kim has some of the most loyal fans in the world ready to defend her the moment someone attacks.
