[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t became viral in just a few short hours: Rob Kardashian’s Snapchat story, where he explained Chyna’s recent absence from their home just days before Christmas. And she took the baby too. Entire rooms in the house are empty, and there are no presents under the tree. While some viewers sided with Rob in his sadness towards the situation, others applauded Blac Chyna for her response after the event.
Tonight, Blac Chyna’s Instagram account was hacked, and the hacker posted an extensive series of screenshots of her “personal text messages” between her and friends, lawyers, and other people in her life. She has yet to acknowledge if the screenshots are real, but she has addressed her fans on Snapchat and made a new account. The account features one very important post (that has since been replaced): a rant about why she actually left Rob.
The things she’s allegedly says about Rob are disrespectful to say the least, but it could easily be made up. Her account has been restored and replaced with her old pictures.
Nobody can confirm if any of this story is real, being that both now have a history in reality television and celebrity drama. This could all just be a ploy to get everyone to tune into their TV special about their new baby Dream, given the convenient timing (the special airs this Sunday at 8/7c on E!). However, her response to the situation is making a lot of people wonder why they were even together in the first place, and if Blac Chyna really “saved” Rob or not. But what people should really be puzzled about is the harshness of her response. Here are just a few quotes from the post on her new Instagram (which may be nonexistent at this point):
“Rob is mentally ill and refuses to seek help! He self medicates which makes it worse. I have done nothing but help & loved him from the beginning!”
“Rob asked for all of this! Rob begged me to have Dream! He stressed me out my ENTIRE PREGNANCY!!! Accusing me of cheating, going crazy on me with massive text blasts daily! being an absolute lunatic & then cover it up with gifts! I was verbally abused every other day.”
“I had to beg him to cut his hair, To take his braces of, and To get more into his businesses!”
“Everyone has tried to help Rob. I’ve gone beyond to help & so has his family! He’s been diagnosed and clinically depressed for 4yrs. I’m done with the situation until he gets help.”
Obviously, there were a lot of problems with the relationship to begin with, but the entire post makes me wonder who was really the problem. The mental illness claims are believable, after the many Keeping Up With the Kardashians episodes about Rob gaining weight, being depressed, and rejecting help from family. In this situation it’s pretty safe to take the word of his entire family and now the mother of his child. But she knows his history. She knows how long he was living with his sisters and how depressed he was. His behavior is not excusable but it is not out of the ordinary, and she cannot expect to go into a relationship and change somebody overnight. She should not tolerate verbal abuse, but she cannot put herself in the position to be in a relationship with someone already prone to that behavior. If it took his family forever to convince him to leave the house and do something new and he still did not, why is she still trying to convince him? It does not make much sense to try the same thing over and over and expect different results.
You cannot force someone to take care of themselves if they don’t want to take care of themselves. What’s worse is that she knew this and continued to fulfill his every wish. And now that she’s fed up and left with Dream, fans applaud her.
The most inappropriate part is how she broadcasted his personal information, even though she deleted it. We all know that celebrities have no choice but to deal with their personal lives in the spotlight at every moment. That being said, is it okay for your loved ones to purposely do that to you just because you are a celebrity? Rob must trust her a lot, and to eliminate all trust with someone who is mentally ill would only hurt them more. Blac Chyna was treated wrongly — that is not the debate here. The issue is her response and how she could make a situation she hates a lot more worse. If Rob really needs help, this for sure ain’t it.
