If your name is Kim Kardashian, the most stressful challenge today isn’t managing a multi-billion dollar empire or pursuing a legal career—it’s keeping the Hulu cameras rolling and the ratings alive. The once-unshakeable queen of reality television is allegedly struggling for relevance, with critics suggesting her show is “dry for seasons” and her brand is suffering from a terminal case of “look at me energy.” The result is a series of increasingly desperate and chaotic publicity stunts designed to manufacture drama, from utilizing her 11-year-old daughter in full glam to fabricating death threats and engaging in an old-school legal war with Ray J.

This is the story of a reality dynasty in decline, driven by an insatiable addiction to attention that is now manifesting in shocking, foolish, and potentially damaging ways, all under the watchful, freaked-out eye of the family matriarch, Kris Jenner.

 

The Rating Crisis and the North West Stunt

For a star built entirely on public interest, the idea that Kim Kardashian’s show, The Kardashians, is struggling for viewership is a fate worse than death. According to analysts, the show has been “dry for seasons,” lacking the genuine, unscripted drama that made the original a phenomenon. With the absence of the show’s former producer, Ryan Seacrest’s team, critics argue that the production now leans on “fake drama” and “scripted tears.”

To combat this perceived decline, Kim is allegedly resorting to a series of stunts, none more controversial than the public presentation of her daughter, North West. The 11-year-old has been featuring heavily in her mother’s promotional activities, appearing in full glam, complete with a lace front wig. This move is seen by many as a clear exploitation of a child for publicity, a desperate attempt to create headlines right before the new season’s premiere. The commentary is that this move screams “pure look at me energy,” suggesting Kim will use anything, even her own child’s image, to fill the silence in a quiet Hollywood, especially now that her ex-husband, Kanye West, has supposedly “turned his back” on her drama.

The video suggests that Kim’s over-the-top antics are the only way she knows how to survive. As one commentator put it, the entire spectacle is “just getting exhausting,” and these tired stunts won’t save her plummeting ratings.

 

The Billion-Dollar Delusion: The “Bush Thong” Fiasco

 

Beyond the manipulation of her daughter’s image, Kim is also desperately trying to shock the public back into buying her products. The most recent, bewildering example is the launch of the SKIMS “bush thong”—a line of thongs with synthetic pubic hair attached, available in “boho curly, yaky, and European straight” options.

This product, sold for a high price, is seen not as “high art” or “revolutionary,” but as “foolishness” and a “craft project gone wrong.” The commentary suggests that this is simply desperate marketing because “nobody’s even buying SKIMS anymore,” with consumers turning to cheaper Amazon dupes. The sheer absurdity of the product—a thong with glued-on hair bundles—is cited as proof that Kim is forcing the shock factor because her business is failing to hit “another trillion-dollar valuation.” The video frames the entire SKIMS promotion as “one long infomercial with bad lighting,” a sign that Kim’s “billionaire” status might be more precarious than she lets on.

The PR Playbook: Lawsuits and Fabricated Threats

 

Perhaps the clearest indication of Kim’s desperation to create drama for the cameras is her legal warfare. The video claims she is once again stirring up controversy with her former partner, Ray J, by suing him for defamation. The move, hiring “one of the coldest, smartest lawyers in the game,” Alex Spiro, is viewed with extreme cynicism, seen as a classic “PR play to get people talking right before the Kardashians drops again.”

This lawsuit is allegedly designed to replicate the immense success of The Kardashians Season 2, which saw massive ratings only because Ray J went public, accusing Kris Jenner of allegedly producing a “second, dirtier sex tape.” That story led to the highly publicized, and ultimately anti-climactic, storyline where Kanye West “flew home” like a “clueless hero” to retrieve a laptop with alleged new content, only for Kim to reveal it had “absolutely nothing new on it.” The video suggests Kim had the “Master Tape the whole time,” framing the entire 2022 storyline as a calculated deception.

The current defamation lawsuit is thus seen as a distraction. It’s Kim “fishing for another one,” a deliberate move to shift the conversation away from her real-life dating problems and her constant fight for relevance. The ultimate drama-creation stunt, according to the video, was the rumor that Kim tried to pin a “hit out” attempt on Kanye. This is dismissed as “wild” and another baseless move to generate sensational headlines, suggesting that she should perhaps “check Ivanka’s phone before pointing at Kanye.”

 

The Tom Brady Humiliation and the MS Era

 

Kim’s struggle for relevance is most acutely visible in her disastrous dating life, which the Hulu drama allegedly avoids discussing. The video details the rumored attempt by Kim to court NFL legend Tom Brady. The story alleges that Brady “curved her heart” at a high-profile event (Jeff Bezos’ wedding), a public humiliation Kim tried to spin by claiming he “only wanted younger women.”

The true damage came later, during Tom Brady’s celebrity roast. After a few jokes were made at Kim’s expense, Brady delivered a retort that was widely interpreted as a direct shade toward Kim. When someone “disrespected” actress Sofia Vergara, Brady clapped back, saying, “I would never. Her age would never bother me. I love me a mature lady. That right there said everything.” This comment was framed as an affirmation of Vergara’s superior status and a very public rejection of Kim, highlighting her perceived descent into her “MS era” (Mature Star era), where she is “slowly sliding into her MS era and she knows it now.”

The video concludes that all of Kim’s actions—the staged lawsuits, the bizarre products, the exploitation of her daughter, and the fabricated drama—stem from a single problem: an overwhelming addiction to attention. She continues to “chase that same spotlight, trying to be the hottest thing in every room,” but the public is tired, and the laughter is no longer with them; it’s at them. The desperation, according to the video, is showing, and it is destroying the last vestiges of credibility the Kim Kardashian brand possesses.
