Like many of those in the entertainment industry, Chelsea Handler was in complete shock when Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton to become the next President of the United States. And like many other celebrities Handler let her frustration be known. She admitted she was in tears when she found out about the victory and even went as far as to say about Trump on her talk show: “I don’t ever want to see him,” “I don’t ever want to interact with him, which won’t be a problem.”
Now as the inauguration is set to take place in only a few days, Handler is sounding off again. This time she has a theory as to why Donald Trump will be sitting in the oval office. It’s not money. It’s not power. No, it’s the Kardashians. Here’s what Handler had to say:
“They were treating him as an entertainer first. It was a reality show. We’ve turned into a reality show,” she said. “I blame the Kardashians, personally; the beginning of the end was the Kardashians. The way these people have blown up and don’t go away – it’s surreal. Everyone is for sale.”
So while Chelsea Handler isn’t directly blaming a Kardashian member, she does have a valid point. She’s essentially admitting that the mainstream media doesn’t really follow what’s “real” anymore. If it weren’t for the rise in popularity of the Kardashians and social media, this entire campaign may not have existed. But come on Chelsea. If you’re going to blamed anyone you have to blame the show “Cops.” That was the very first reality show on television. And if you really want to blame a show, blame “The Real World” which was an MTV creation. That show truly gave rise to seeing famous people on an extremely personal level.
Still though, point taken Chelsea. Point taken.
