Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson ‘on same page’ with co-parenting

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are “on the same page” when it comes to custody over their 10-month-old daughter.
The former couple recently split after Tristan was caught kissing Jordyn Woods – who was the best friend of Khloe’s half-sister Kylie Jenner – at a party last month, and although things are difficult between the pair at the moment, sources say they’re committed to successfully co-parenting their daughter True.
An insider told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Khloe has True for the majority of the time. Khloe’s able to bring True or be with her at work, where Tristan can’t. Also, True spends a lot of time with her big family and all the cousins are in LA so it makes the most sense for her to stay with Khloe.
“Khloe and Tristan may have their issues but Khloe will never deny Tristan a chance to spend time with his daughter. Things may change in the future, but for now Khloe and Tristan are on the same page with True being with Khloe for most of the time.”
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star, 34, was recently said to be “figuring out” how to incorporate Tristan into their daughter’s upcoming first birthday in April, without making things awkward around her family.
Another source said: “Khloé is figuring out how to get Tristan involved [in True’s birthday]. She can’t see how he can be around her family at a party, though. Everyone is just too upset with him.”
And Khloe is thought to be particularly struggling with her sister Kim Kardashian West, who is reportedly “beyond angry” with the 27-year-old NBA star, and doesn’t think she’ll “keep it together” if she sees Tristan face to face.
The source added: “Kim never trusted Tristan after he cheated on Khloé right before True was born. Ever since, it’s been very difficult for Kim to even tolerate Tristan. But she really tried her best because it was important for Khloé.
“[Now, Kim] says she never even wants to see Tristan. She feels there is no chance she will keep it together and not lose it on him. Kim is beyond angry with him.”

Brie Larson was ‘broke’ before Captain Marvel

OHMYGOSSIP — Brie Larson was “broke a dozen times” before landing the lead role in ‘Captain Marvel’.
The 29-year-old actress is set to take on the titular super heroine in the upcoming Marvel movie, and has said the mammoth role came after she had found in dire financial straits several times throughout her career.
Brie admitted she once “had a hard time getting work again” after a television show she was on got cancelled, and was still “stressing about money” as recently as 2015, before she starred in ‘Room’, which won her a Best Actress Oscar.
Speaking in a clip from her upcoming interview with Willie Geist for ‘Sunday Today’ – which will air on Sunday (10.03.19) – she said: “I’ve been broke a dozen times. When you look at it, it kind of makes sense, or my IMDb maybe looks consistent, but really there’s large gaps of time with three auditions a day – still. Even before ‘Room’ came out, I was stressing about money. It’s not that long ago at all!”
Brie’s comments come after she recently revealed playing Captain Marvel “changed her life”, as she learned how to “stand [her] ground” and “value her voice” through her time in the role.
She said: “I don’t know if I’m just tired but I feel like I’m going to cry. It’s been a couple of years of working on this movie.
“Carol [Danvers, her character] changed my life and the movie hasn’t even come out yet. Just, in particular, getting strong, learning how to stand my ground, own myself, and value my voice. Those are things that I learned from her.”
Before the role, Brie admitted she didn’t have much psychical strength but she soon “got really beefy”.
She said: “This is like, a new thing. I was a, ‘Can you open this water for me?’ person.
“And then a year ago I just got really beefy. I trained for 9 months and then was able to do crazy things. I could deadlift 225 pounds by the end of it.”

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan want a male nanny

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are looking for a male nanny.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are hoping to secure a man to help them with childcare duties after they welcome their first child into the world in April.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Hiring a ‘manny’ is far more common in the US – a nation that Meghan is more in tune with – than in the UK. She’s keen to introduce the royal family to what she considers a more enlightened, modern American approach. Of course, Harry had a very Tomboyish nanny himself in Tiggy who taught him and William about abseiling, fishing and other outdoor pursuits in Monmouthshire. He and Meghan have discussed nannies and both have open mind to a male nanny. They will definitely try to shortlist one. Meghan and Harry are exploring all their options, and will be employing a nanny from September.”
Prince Harry previously admitted impending fatherhood has made him more aware of his “responsibility” to the world.
Speaking to the crowd at a Commonwealth youth discussion at Lancaster House in London, he said: “As someone who is about to become a father, I am acutely aware of our shared responsibility to make this world more resilient and its inhabitants more accountable for the next generation. The only way to see real progress is not by chance, it’s by change. In all of these places, it’s been incredibly humbling to see how young people like yourselves are creating innovative and clever solutions to the diverse challenges you face – whether it be better mental health for everyone, eradicating extreme poverty and improving access to education for girls, or highlighting the very real effects and daily battles of climate change.”

Sophie Turner: Joe Jonas helped me find happiness

OHMYGOSSIP — Sophie Turner credits Joe Jonas with helping her find her “happiness”.
The ‘Game of Thrones’ star is engaged to the Jonas Brothers musician, and has said that after struggling with her “sense of self” for several years, finding love with Joe – whom she plans to marry this summer – helped her find herself, and discover happiness outside of acting.
Speaking in a joint interview with her co-star and best friend Maisie Williams for Glamour magazine, she said: “I think for the longest time I didn’t have a real sense of myself. I had a bit of an identity crisis where I was playing all these people and I’d grown up faster than I probably should have done. I hadn’t been able to experience university, or just spend a lot of time with friends, so for a while, I kept thinking, ‘Who am I?’
“A lot of [my happiness now] is to do with being with a person I’ve fallen in love with, who loves me more than he loves himself, and who wants to see me find my own happiness. That was probably the biggest thing that pushed me to find who I am – and find my happiness in things other than acting.”
The 23-year-old star and the ‘Sucker’ hitmaker got engaged in October 2017 following almost a year of dating, and previously revealed she was enjoying her engagement.
She said: “I’m still like: Holy s**t! I’m engaged…
“It’s lovely to be engaged. Not like I achieved anything, but I found my person like I’d find a house that I love and want to stay in forever.
“There’s a sense of peace that comes with finding your person. But there’s a drive that comes with your career.”
And although their wedding is still a little way off, 21-year-old Maisie already knows she’ll be a bridesmaid at the event.
When asked if she was hoping to secure the position, she said last year: “Oh, already got it. Yeah, it’s very, very exciting. It’s kind of bizarre though.”

Jeremy Allen White is learning parenting tips from his girlfriend

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy Allen White is learning parenting tips from his girlfriend.
The ‘Shameless’ star – who has played Phillip ‘Lip’ Gallagher in the critically-acclaimed US sitcom since 2011 – and his partner Addison Timlin welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ezer Billie White, into the world four months ago, and says he’s been learning how to parent from Addison because she’s adjusted “a lot faster” to their new life.
Speaking to Us Weekly magazine, he said: “I’m learning from Addison because I think for moms, for women who have children, they click into it a lot faster than we do. So while I think I’m doing a really good job, I still look to her, because she, as soon as we started this thing, she’s been incredible.”
Jeremy, 28, announced the birth of his tot on Instagram in late October, when he posted a picture of their new addition to the family laying on his and his partner in a hospital bed on Instagram.
He wrote alongside the snap: “Ezer Billie White 10.20.2018 Welcome to the world baby girl, it just got so much brighter. (sic)”
The couple announced they were expecting their first child in a sweet post on the photo-sharing app in June.
At the time, Addison, 27, wrote: “We made a baby and my heart is bursting at the seams.
“Today is my birthday but my wish already came true. This is 27 and the best is yet to come.”
The pair have documented their journey to parenthood on Instagram and, before Billie’s birth, Addison revealed that Dakota Johnson will be their little girl’s godmother.
Sharing a picture of her with the actress at a bowling alley to celebrate the ‘Fifty Shades Freed’ star’s birthday, in which the latter placed a bowling ball in front of her stomach to match her pal’s baby bump, Addison wrote: “Happy birthday to my baby’s godmother (sic).”

Emmerdale’s Louisa Clein: Maya retribution is ‘absolutely’ needed

OHMYGOSSIP — Louisa Clein says there “absolutely” needs some form of retribution for her ‘Emmerdale’ character.
The 40-year-old star’s alter-ego, teacher Maya Stepney, has been grooming student Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) for weeks in a “horrific” plot, but she insists it is important for her character to get her comeuppance to show people that it’s not just “dirty old men” who abuse people.
She said: “The whole point of this storyline is to expose the fact that women can be abusers, and that young boys or young girls can see that there is some form of retribution, and if people come forward they will be listened to.
“And that just because this abuse storyline is not some dirty old man. Women can be abusers, and women in power, a teacher, a seemingly together, normal woman can also be an abuser.
“So I think the story has to have an ending people feel satisfied with and that there is some form of retribution, absolutely.”
While some viewers have been horrified by the story, Louisa admits the most important reaction to the plot has been receiving messages from viewers who have sought help after being abused in their own lives.
She said: “We’re having a real mixed reaction. People are, rightly, horrified by the story. I take it as a compliment in that people are buying into the story and believing it, and that’s what we want.
“I don’t want my character to be adored and sympathised with. I’m trying to find reasons, as an actor, why this character is doing what she’s doing.
“She’s an abuser and she should be treated that way. The audience reaction is what one would expect.
“People are praising ‘Emmerdale’ for telling this story, and I’m getting a lot of private messages from people who are saying how much it has helped them to come out and talk about their private experiences and seek help, which is the only thing that matters. The most important thing.”
But the former ‘Judge John Deed’ star admitted the overall reaction to the hard-hitting plot has been “mixed”.
She added: “We’re also getting people who hate it. They’ve watched Jacob’s character grow up on screen and feel protective over him.
“People invest their emotions into these characters on ‘Emmerdale’, so we’re getting mixed feelings.”

Maisie Williams wants to talk about Game of Thrones end

OHMYGOSSIP — Maisie Williams is looking forward to being able to talk about the end of ‘Game of Thrones’.
The 21-year-old actress has played teenage assassin Arya Stark since the fantasy drama series began and, with just a month before the final episodes air, she can’t wait to lose the secrecy surrounding the show and get people’s reactions.
She said: “It’s going to be a relief to be able to speculate once its all done and I can talk to people about the ending and what they all thought.”
Maisie is very “proud” of the final season of the show and though she couldn’t say too much she’s just “happy” to have made it to the final set of episodes after so many of her co-stars have been killed off over the years.
She told the Manchester Evening News newspaper: “It’s going to be sad when it’s gone. I’m so proud of this final season but all good things must come to an end… I’m just happy to be in 801 (season eight episode one)… “I’m happy that I made it!”
The British star admires her alter ego’s loyalty and “dedication” but thinks they could also be her downfall.
She said: “[Arya would] say she was loyal and dedicated.”
Asked her bad points, she added: “Probably that she’s maybe too dedicated and dedicated to the point of being kind of insane. Once she gets on a mission she literally will not stop until she dies.”
Meanwhile, show fans can celebrate the return of the programme on April 14 by purchasing their very own dragon eggs.
Deliveroo are opening the Hatchery for a week until Easter Sunday (21.04.19) for fans to order replica chocolate eggs, which will be priced at just 80p each.
The three hand-painted eggs will be hand-crafted and painted from Fairtrade white chocolate, weighing 1 Kilo and measuring 20cm in height and will be available via Deliveroo Editions in the London, Manchester and Leeds regions.
Joe Groves at Deliveroo said: “Easter is coming and so is the final series of our favourite blood-soaked romp. We see huge spikes of orders around season premieres and finales and we thought what better way to celebrate hardcore fans than with these amazing scaley creations.”

Taylor Swift was terrified to tour after Manchester bombing

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift was “completely terrified” to go on tour after the Manchester Arena bombing.
The ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ hitmaker admits she was deeply affected by the terrible event, which saw a terrorist detonate a bomb at Ariana Grande’s concert in the north-west English city in May 2017 and when a gunman opened fire on the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas in October 2017, admitting she was nervous about hitting the road because she was worried for the safety of her fans.
She said: “After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn’t know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months. There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe.”
And the 29-year-old singer admits that “fear of violence” has also affected her personal life too and she now carries “army grade bandage dressings” with her at all times.
Writing in Elle magazine’s April issue, she confessed: “My fear of violence has continued into my personal life. I carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds. Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online. You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things. Every day I try to remind myself of the good in the world, the love I’ve witnessed and the faith I have in humanity. We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears.”

Olivia Newton-John’s magical birthday

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Newton-John’s 70th birthday was “magical” even though she was in hospital having radiation treatment.
The ‘Grease!’ actress is currently battling stage 4 breast cancer – which she was first diagnosed with in 1992 and overcame again in 2013 – and, shortly before she reached the milestone age in September, she was told the pain she was suffering stemmed from a pelvis fracture, which was caused by the weakening of her bones due to the disease, and so cancelled the plans she had made in order to receive care at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
She said: “There were all these things I was going to do for my birthday. But God had other plans.
“[But] I never say ‘Why me.’ I was like, ‘Wow, I’m in my hospital that I’d dreamt of building for people to have rest and peace and there I was getting the best care.’ It was quite magical.”
Olivia is now back at home and receiving support from her husband John Easterling and daughter Chloe Lattanzi, 33, as well as taking oral cancer medication and holistic treatments including medicinal cannabis and is growing stronger every day.
She told People magazine: “I started on a walker, then a cane and now nothing…
“I’m feeling good, just getting stronger. [My doctor] was very happy with [my progress].”
The ‘Physical’ singer admitted she does have low points since being diagnosed with the incurable disease.
She said: “Of course I had my moments, and my tears and all that. But I have a wonderful husband who supports me through those things.”
However, Olivia was upset by rumours in January that she was close to death.
She said: “My friends were calling and believing this stuff. I had to say, ‘You really think if it was that bad you wouldn’t know?’ ”
And it was important to her to quickly combat the speculation with a social media video.
She said: “Those things are so stupid. Why not just go, ‘Here I am, and I’m fine!’ We just nipped it in the bud.”

Salma Hayek didn’t confide in famous friends over Harvey Weinstein allegations

OHMYGOSSIP — Salma Hayek didn’t tell her friends Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas that she’d allegedly been harassed by Harvey Weinstein because she didn’t want to ruin their careers.
The 52-year-old actress wrote an article for the New York Times in 2017, in which she said the producer had threatened to kill her and demanded she perform a nude sex scene with a female co-star in 2002’s ‘Frida’ or he’d pull the plug on the film.
While Salma’s husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, was supportive of her writing the article, he was also “upset” she hadn’t confided in him before then, as were her famous friends.
Asked if her spouse supported her article, she said: “Yes, absolutely. He was upset that I didn’t tell him before [about the alleged harassment]. So were Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz, who’s a very good friend of mine. She was furious.
“[I didn’t tell them] because he did the best movies, and I didn’t want to jade their experience professionally.
“I was being protective of my friends. But I didn’t know he was doing it to so many women. I had no idea.”
After making her alleged ordeal public, the ‘Hummingbird Project’ actress admitted she hadn’t expected it to affect her so much.
She told Town & Country magazine: “Emotionally, I was shocked by how much [writing that piece] affected me. Because I’m strong, and I thought I was done with that whole story. It really haunted me.”
Antonio previously revealed he “immediately” called Salma after reading her article.
He said: “It was important to reach out to her because she’s my dear friend. We are very good friends, and I didn’t know. I wanted to know. That’s why I immediately called her and said, ‘Salma, why didn’t you tell me?’ And she almost got into tears and she said, ‘Because I wanted to protect you guys. I didn’t want to put you in that position of having to confront a guy who was so powerful. That’s the reason: I didn’t want to damage my friends.'”

Claude Littner: Rylan Clark-Neal was ‘weak-link’ on Celebrity Apprentice

OHMYGOSSIP — Claude Littner says Rylan Clark-Neal was the “weak link” of the male team on this year’s ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.
The 69-year-old business executive quipped that the 30-year-old TV presenter was holding his team – which included Omid Djalili, Russell Kane, Richard Arnold and Sam Allardyce – back on the charity version of the business reality show.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Wednesday (06.03.19), Claude said: “Rylan was the weak link.”
He then went on to praise the rival female team – which consisted of Ayda Field, Amanda Holden, Kelly Hoppen, Tameka Empson and Rachel Johnson – and said they handled the task, which required the groups to organise a cabaret event, “sensationally”.
He said: “They were fantastic. Normally I’m not very complimentary about the candidates, but this lot were absolutely sensational! They were brilliant.
“They’ve got a contact list which is second to none and they used their contacts and they did really well. And they all had a role to play. There are a lot of confusions and a lot of mistakes that typically apprentices make, like selling too cheaply and things like that.
“But actually they worked so cleverly and so well together it was a pleasure.”
Rylan – who was the project manager of the guys’ team – admitted he struggled with the task, because he doesn’t actually have many showbiz contacts.
He said: “When I finish my job, I go home, I get a tracksuit on and watch ‘Birds of a Feather’.
“That’s what I do. I don’t go out, I’m not really celebby or anything like that.
“So when it comes to my phone, unless it’s like my mum or Dan, I don’t know what to do. So to try and call on these contacts, it was quite difficult.”
‘Celebrity Apprentice for Comic Relief’ airs on Thursday (07.03.19) and Friday (08.03.19) at 9pm on BBC One.

Stephen Bear admits cheating to on Jemma Lucy

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephen Bear has admitted to cheating on Jemma Lucy on ‘Eating With My Ex’.
The ‘Ex on the Beach’ star – who dated the reality TV personality in late 2016 – confessed face-to-face that he had played away from her as the pair sat down for dinner together for the BBC Three show.
Asked how he felt when Jemma confronted him, he said: “I could have lied, but I thought ‘I’m sick of lying, I’ll just come clean’. I didn’t know what was going to be said over lunch.
“To be honest I forgot I even did it, I completely forgot how it ended.
“Then she brought it up and I tried to lie to begin with, but then I thought, ‘What’s the point.’ ”
And Jemma – who had previously insisted she wanted to confront him over the cheating – thinks it was “quite good” that he admitted to doing the dirty on her, but wishes he had done it soon after their break up and when he “still cared” about her.
She added: “I knew he cheated, I always knew, but for him to actually admit it, even though he did it in a jokey way, was quite good. I wasn’t looking for closure, because I knew he’d cheated, it wasn’t me guessing or making it up, because I had the girl tell me and prove it to me in a few ways. I knew, it was right in front of my face.
“I don’t even want to say I’m grateful that he admitted it – the thing is, to be grateful that he admitted it, he should have done it back when he still cared about me and had feelings, because that’s why he didn’t admit it then.
“But he admits it now because he doesn’t care whether I’m angry about it or not.”
Stephen was glad he got a chance to “clear the air” with at least one of his exes, as he says every other relationship he has had has ended in a bad way.
He explained: “It was nice catching up with an old friend. I’m happy we cleared the air and it’s another chapter closed.
“With me, I annoy every girl and then never speak to them again. Every single girl I’ve been with has ended badly. So for me to clear the air with one person I suppose was alright. I look back on my life and I’ve p***ed every single girl off, I know I’ve been out of order, it’s not fair really.”
The two celebrity specials of ‘Eating With My Ex’ – featuring Stephen and Jemma, as well as Jamie Campbell, Sam Bird and London Hughes – will be up on BBC Three on March 12.

Nicolas Ghesquiere thinks there’s ‘beauty in controversy’

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicolas Ghesquiere is happy his Louis Vuitton collection was “misunderstood”.
The creative director of the luxury label closed Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday evening (5.03.19) with his latest range for the French fashion house – featuring bursts of primary colours, loud graphics, leather skullcaps, and Pierrot collars – and the designer admitted that he doesn’t mind people thinking his clothes are ugly because he wants to make statements with his designs,
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, Nicolas, 47, said: “It’s the beauty of controversy. I am happy to be misunderstood.”
Each season the brand builds a catwalk venue in the iconic Louvre Museum in Paris and Nicolas opted to recreate a section of the Pompidou Centre – a building designed in the style of high-tech architecture.
Speaking of Pompidou’s aesthetic, he said: “[It] was very much criticised at the time. But it has become central to Paris, to culture, to young people, to everyone who loves the future. Your eye gets used to something, and your tastes evolved and change.”
The designer went on to explain that he is inspired by the people he sees in Paris and likes to sit and watch passersby to “see what Paris really is”.
He said: “I like to sit and watch the people there, to see what Paris really is. To see the street dancers, the museum people who are quite eccentric sometimes, the fashion people, the gothics – everyone.”
Nicolas added that although he likes high heels, he doesn’t feel the need to include them in everyone of his collections.
He said: “In the past in fashion, we put women in high heels to empower them. Now we usually put them in flat shoes. I still love heels, but I don’t feel any more that they add anything to a silhouette.”

Gwyneth Paltrow’s mother didn’t want her to act

OHMYGOSSIP — Gwyneth Paltrow’s mother didn’t want her to be an actress.
The ‘Shakespeare in Love’ actress has become a Hollywood star since her career launched over two decades ago, but has claimed her mother Blythe Dinner – who is also an actress – didn’t want her to follow her footsteps, as she was concerned about her daughter facing “rejection”.
Gwyneth said: “[My mother] always said, ‘Oh, please don’t be an actress.’ She was pleading with me to leverage my intellectual self more than my artistic self, and I think she was just trying to protect me from a lot of rejection. It can be a heartbreaking career.”
But the 46-year-old actress has no doubt pleased her mother recently, as she revealed she is stepping away from her role as Pepper Potts in the ‘Iron Man’ franchise, and has scaled back her acting commitments in order to work on her lifestyle website Goop.
And when asked if she sees herself “as an actor who developed a career as a lifestyle entrepreneur, or a lifestyle entrepreneur who happened to have a career as an actor,” Gwyneth admits acting was never her first love.
Speaking in a profile for the New York Times, she said: “I was masquerading as an actor.”
Gwyneth – who has daughter Apple, 14, and son Moses, 12, with her ex-husband Chris Martin – previously spoke about her decision to step away from Hollywood, saying it came after she noticed the industry had shifted to focus on more blockbuster fare.
She said: “I think the movies and the business around them have changed so much in the last 20 years. I don’t think any of the movies that I’m known for would get made today. Would they make ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’? Would they make ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’? Would they make ‘Shakespeare in Love’?”

Taylor Swift felt ‘lower than ever’ after Kim Kardashian West feud

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift was left feeling “lower than [she’s] ever felt” after her feud with Kim Kardashian West in 2016.
The ‘Gorgeous’ hitmaker publicly warred with the reality star almost three years ago when Kim leaked edited clips of a phone call between her husband Kanye West and Taylor in order to prove her claims that Taylor had approved Kanye’s lyrics about her in his song ‘Famous’.
And after Kim branded her a “snake”, Taylor – who insisted at the time that Kanye never told her he was planning to call her “that b***h” in his song – says the feud left her feeling lower than she’s ever been in her life.
Writing in Elle magazine’s April issue, she said: “A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet. The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life.”
But the 29-year-old singer isn’t fazed by the comments now, as she’s “learned to laugh” about the situation, and even implemented a 63-foot inflatable cobra into her stage design on her 2018 ‘Reputation Tour’.
She added: “I learned that disarming someone’s petty bullying can be as simple as learning to laugh. In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously.
“I can’t tell you how hard I had to keep from laughing every time my 63-foot inflatable cobra named Karyn appeared onstage in front of 60,000 screaming fans. It’s the Stadium Tour equivalent of responding to a troll’s hateful Instagram comment with ‘lol.'”
The ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ singer says she’d love to get an apology from 38-year-old Kim, but is happy knowing she has “thrived in spite of” their feud.
She wrote: “It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it.”
