On Friday, the pop star released the highly anticipated re-recording of her third album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Alongside six new “Vault” tracks, there was also somethin’ new about one of the album’s most infamous songs, Better Than Revenge. As we told you in our exclusive sneak peek yesterday, it got a whole makeover. To recap, here’s how it breaks down.

In the track, which originally dropped in 2010, Taylor used to sing:

“She’s an actress, whoa / but she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa”

Oof! The song was rumored to be about the Taylor’s ex Joe Jonas and actress Camilla Belle, who starred in the Jonas Brothers‘ music video for Lovebug. It was viewed as harsh even at the time, and ever since it’s been largely criticized as “slut-shaming”.

Taylor even seemed to admit her regret years later when she told The Guardian in 2014:

“I was 18 when I wrote that. That’s the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realize no one can take someone from you if they don’t want to leave.”

So much maturity in just a few years! Now, cut to the year 2023 and she’s finally done something about it. In the new version of the rock song, T-Swift now belts:

“He was a moth to the flame / she was holding the matches.”

Wow!

A VERY different vibe, no?! And now you can listen and see what YOU think of the change here:

Whattaya think, Swifties??

While the Grammy winner hasn’t addressed the lyric change yet, her fans have had LOTS to say about it! And frankly, feelings are mixed. While some are happy about it, others aren’t into the whole “special edition” rewriting of history thing! Take a look:

“We just have to bully her into releasing Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version) (Slut Shaming Version) like she did with lana and snow on the beach”

“Better Than Revenge has the same lyrics if you just scream over her”

“ITS SM BETTER IM SO PROUD OF HER FOR CHANGING IT”

“scooter won this round”

“and it still eats so idrc”

There have been think pieces for years debating the consequences of retroactively changing, especially trying to sanitize, art, even with the best of intentions. So this debate is going deep — and is unlikely to end with Taylor’s Version! What are your thoughts?! Sound OFF (below)!

The post How Taylor Swift Fans Reacted To Her Changing That 'Slut-Shaming' Line In <i>Better Than Revenge</i>! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

The Danity Kane singer popped up on the latest episode of Michael Cohen‘s Mea Culpa podcast to chat about former president Donald Trump‘s oldest son. Yes, if you are wondering, that is the very same Michael Cohen… after doing prison time for Trump, the former fixer is now in the business of dishing dirt on the ex-President. This week’s dirt? Aubrey giving downright salacious deets of her affair with DJTJ.

For those who don’t recall, WE got the exclusive scoop on the hookup (and then other outlets sent it out an hour later like it was their own)! Don Jr. allegedly had an extramarital affair with Aubrey, who was a Celebrity Apprentice contestant in 2012. Supposedly, he was “aggressive” in his pursuit, lying to her about his marriage being over and telling her he loved her. Real sketchy stuff. It almost led to his divorce! (That would come a few years later.)

It was the type of scandal that would sink a reputable celeb — but these are the Trumps, people assume they’re cheating on their taxes and their spouses. Their fans just don’t care. But now there’s a detail Trump’s base may actually have a problem with…

On Cohen’s podcast this week, O’Day claimed she first hooked up with the ex-Prez’s son AT A GAY CLUB in New York City!!!

Yes, really! The MAGA-loving fomenter of anti-LGBT hate was allegedly hitting up gay clubs more than a decade ago and having sex in the bathroom with pop stars! My, what a reversal from his family’s actions and supposed beliefs today…

Recalling how she and Don Jr. first got together, Aubrey recalled:

“I was hosting a gay club and our first time going out together — he wanted to see me so bad — and I told him, ‘well, I’m gonna be at a gay club tonight.'”

She explained the setting:

“So Don shows up to the gay club. And I’m talking about this is one of the biggest gay parties in New York, it’s a huge f**king club. Everybody was in a g-string or less.”

Sounds hot!

The irony of that past moment relative to Don Jr.’s hard-right turn today has very much not been lost on the ex-MTV star. She told Cohen:

“I looked at his Instagram for the first time in years and saw all kinds of jokes belittling the gay community … and I thought to myself, ‘Man, you were super comfortable in that gay club.'”

Ha! How comfortable was he, tho, Aubrey?? She then went right on to reveal the most crucial detail of them all:

“In fact, so comfortable that we ended up going to the bathroom and, for the first time, had sex in a gay club bathroom.”

OMG!!!

From hanging out in gay clubs and having sex in bathrooms with g-string wearing LGBT folks all around to… going all-in on the Republicans’ current-day war against gay spaces, queer people, and general human decency. Make it make sense, Don Jr.!!!

Related: Trump Described Ivanka’s ‘Breasts’ & ‘What It Might Be Like’ To Sleep With Her?!?!

In fact, it’s that dichotomy that has really thrown O’Day for a loop. Reflecting during Mea Culpa how she once felt as though she and Don Jr. were “soulmates,” the singer concluded:

“You know what a bleeding-heart liberal I am, and you know how I’m a social justice warrior since I was born and raised by one. There is no way that I could have ever loved somebody like what we see today. So that goes to show you how much transformation or potential posturing the man is doing or has done since the man that I would call my soulmate.”

That’s real AF right there. And sad, TBH. But people change! We just wish they didn’t change for the worse like Don Jr. apparently did. Or maybe this was who he was for real all along? It does seem plausible he was lying to Aubrey about who he really was — and how single he was.

Related: LISTEN To Donald Trump Give Himself Away In Smoking Gun Audio Tape!

Let’s not forget, while he was having sex with a singer in a gay club bathroom, his wife and kids were at home. So maybe, just maybe, he never believed in anything? Not the hate now, not the love then, it’s all a lie? Because all he believes in is how he can profit? Either in the wallet or elsewhere in the pants?? Something to think about…

Anyways, per Page Six, Donald Trump Jr. — who has “never addressed the affair” allegations — did not respond to requests for a comment about O’Day’s jaw-dropping podcast remarks. We’re thinking he probably won’t ever address them.

Still, the rest of the world is now talking about it!! And now you can, too! What do U make of this alleged gay club sex shocker, Perezcious readers?? Sound OFF with your thoughts down in the comments (below)…

The post Aubrey O'Day Says She First Hooked Up With Donald Trump Jr. IN A GAY CLUB!!! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

The (former?) close friends and podcast partners are at odds right now after all the accusations and allegations that have come out against Ballinger recently. And among those issues are new claims that the longtime Miranda Sings star on Youtube allegedly shared Paytas’ OnlyFans content with underage fans while shaming Trisha throughout.

Related: Trisha Paytas Apologizes To Perez Hilton!

On Monday, Paytas took to her YouTube channel to discuss the shocking and increasingly uncomfortable Ballinger situation. The duo had just recently launched their joint podcast Oversharing with Colleen Ballinger & Trisha Paytas. But judging by the Monday afternoon vid from Paytas, uhhh, that would appear to be going nowhere at this point.

In a video simply titled “colleen,” Paytas said she was first “unaware” of the allegations against Ballinger, and only recently learned of them to the point of being “shocked” by both the claims themselves and Ballinger’s already-infamous 10-minute ukulele song apology late last week.

Referencing the video and new allegations that Ballinger shared and shamed Paytas’ adult-themed content with underage fans, Trisha said:

“Her video came out, and I was just shocked to say the least that she didn’t at least acknowledge the stuff that her own fans were saying, how they felt. It’s a topic I don’t take lightly, and I can’t take lightly, as I am a full-time sex worker… We already have a lot of stigma, misconceptions, allegations against us as sex workers and so I need to nip this in the bud.”

That likely references newly-revealed Twitter posts like that from a ex-fan of Ballinger’s named Johnny Silvestri, who accused Colleen of sharing Paytas’ nude photos and mocking her OnlyFans content with fans behind Trisha’s back. You can see that NSFW tweet with screenshot accusations HERE.

Another Twitter user and YouTuber named Adam McIntyre also accused Ballinger of sending Paytas’ nude content when he was underage, as well. That second tweet allegation from late on Sunday night can also be seen HERE.

Related: Colleen Ballinger’s Ex-Husband Speaks Out On Allegations She Groomed Young Fans

In both cases and more, Paytas slammed the situation, calling the illicit recordings and shame-sessions “viewing parties” with fans and reflecting on how violated and discarded she felt over the matter.

She said:

“I do not condone, at all, unsolicited nudes — sending unsolicited nudes to anybody, sex worker or not. I think using someone’s nudes as a way to hurt them, make fun of them, make light of them, be mean, is the lowest form of human.”

And Trisha added:

“These weren’t a long time ago. This is someone well into their 30s who just gave birth, sending nudes. And a month prior, I was in her house, meeting her newborn and doing a Mukbang with her.”

Paytas also slammed Ballinger’s ukulele apology video, saying:

“I don’t stand behind Colleen whatsoever. Her video was not an apology, and it took away from the severity of her actions of talking to minors, bringing minors on stage at her show. These people are speaking up and they’re uncomfortable for a reason. Acknowledge it, change it, do better.”

Trisha went on:

“It’s a lot. And it wasn’t just one occasion. There was multiple times that she sent different photos and different positions of me.”

And then she concluded:

“I will never speak on Colleen again. She just does not exist to me anymore.”

Wow.

You can see her whole video (below):

Damn…

Other critics have called out Colleen over the Paytas problem, too, including some who have openly wondered whether Ballinger’s “women are incredible” shtick was merely a move to sell merch:

remember that colleen has this merch. but MADE fun of trisha paytas body and sex work in private to her friends. disgusting and despicable. women are incredible !! but not when they are bigger and are sex workers. disgusting. pic.twitter.com/wBYqOP70V3

The post Trisha Paytas SLAMS Colleen Ballinger Over Grooming Allegations, Nude Sharing & Apology Vid! Whoa! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

A woman born into the Church of Scientology and a former member of the Sea Organization is speaking out against the religious organization — and making some very harrowing claims!

According to a lawsuit brought forth in the LA County Superior Court in December against Scientology leader David Miscavige, recruiter Gavin Potter, and three church entities, the contents of which were made public last week, an anonymous woman described as Jane Doe alleged she was groomed and sexually abused by a high-ranking recruiter, Gavin Potter, and then forced to MARRY him or spend five years in a labor camp! WTF?!

Related: Lisa Marie Presley Explains Why She Left Scientology

Jane Doe, now in her late 40s, claims she was born in 1974 to parents who were involved in the Religious Technology Center, a division of the church and one of the defendants in her case. When she was 14, she was attending a Scientology training exercise when she was invited to become a member of the Sea Org. Members are recruited from within the church and are often minors at the time. They’re forced to sign a “billion-year” pledge of service to the church to join. Also, members below the age of 18 need to be adopted by somebody in the church, and all members are assigned a “Port Captain,” someone who oversees them and manages their living arrangements.

Jane’s position in the Sea Org was “activated” officially in 1991 when she was 16 and was sent to LA to be a receptionist at the L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition, a museum dedicated to the church’s founder. She also worked nights cleaning Scientology facilities. It’s at the museum where she met Gavin for the first time.

Gavin was a successful recruiter who was known for bringing in young women, whom David would supposedly refer to as “Bridge Babes.” The lawsuit claimed:

“It was known by all Defendants and Sea Org that Gavin Potter recruited these impressionable female minors through fear and flirtation.”

You mix his supposed intimidating methods of recruitment with the already warped ideology of Scientology, and you get this alleged s**t show! An attorney for the plaintiff, Graham E. Berry, argued in the latest complaint that the church allegedly “created opportunities for such sexual abuse to occur” and “specifically recruited attractive minor females into an organization that required cohabitation.” The lawsuit even alleged minors are susceptible to sexual abuse in Scientology because it views them as “adults in the bodies of children.” So f**ked up!

And this brings us to Jane’s accusations. According to her, the recruiter allegedly asked the then-16-year-old to drive him home in her car one night. After she agreed, he began to make this a habit… and things grew NSFW fast — even though she was two years below the age of consent in California, where the alleged acts took place.

Doe alleged that once while she sat in the driver’s seat, Gavin leaned over from the passenger’s seat to fondle her boobs and kiss her on the lips. Another time, he allegedly put his hands up her skirt and penetrated her with his hands, terrifying her so much, she could not move. After the incident, she noticed he had a wet spot on his pants, which she would later realize meant he’d ejaculated. At the time, though, she’d never had sex with anyone and did not know what that meant. Wow.

Immediately after this alleged rape, she reported the incident to her colleagues — which was complicated in its own right. In the lawsuit, Jane claims church members aren’t supposed to report crimes committed by other members, noting it is considered a “high crime.” That said, Scientology officials claim they comply with all local laws and encourage members to report crimes to authorities.

So, when the teenager was relaying the details of her alleged icky encounter with Gavin, it was not only frowned upon because she was calling out a highly-ranked member of the community but also because extramarital relationships between Sea Org members are forbidden. Instead of going after the grown adult who had allegedly sexually abused a minor, the church allegedly required Jane and Gavin to either get married OR serve five years with the Rehabilitation Project Force — AKA a labor camp!

RPF was created in 1974 by Hubbard as a place for Sea Org members to go after violating policies. As a punishment, they are subjected to “isolation, food deprivation, long hours of hard manual labor, and other cruel and unusual punishments,” via the lawsuit. Sentences can last anywhere from 1 to 10 years. Jeez.

So, when given these two options, Jane chose marriage — and she and Gavin immediately went to Las Vegas to say “I do” to avoid laws in California that would have made it difficult for a minor to get married. The lawsuit stated:

“That same day, Jane Doe’s ‘Port Captain’ arranged for Jane Doe, Gavin Potter, and Jane Doe’s mother to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada to complete the marriage.”

It continued:

“Jane Doe’s mother witnessed the marriage. The Port Captain explained that the wedding could not take place in California as that would require both parties to see a counselor or psychologist to determine the mental capacity of the minor to marry, and a judge to sign off after review of the psychologist’s report.”

The complaint claimed girls were routinely sent to and from Sin City for weddings to avoid those requirements. After the nuptials, her Port Captain allegedly booked her and Gavin a room in the Manor Hotel where she was coerced into “ritualistic and painful” sex. The next day, she moved back in with her parents, but would intermittently have sex with Potter for many years. At 19, she got pregnant, which is also forbidden among Sea Org members. Gavin asked her to get an abortion but she refused.

In 1997, when she was 23, Jane managed to escape the church and finally divorced her alleged abuser. A court ruled that he would be required to pay her child support, but she claims the church made her sign materials promising not to recover the money. Her attorney now alleges she never received any child support. Awful.

Sadly, this isn’t the only time this particular Jane Doe has been part of a scandal involving the Church of Scientology. In a separate case brought against the church in 2019, the same woman claimed she was raped by Scientologist and actor Danny Masterson in 2003. The That 70s Show alum was convicted of her alleged rape and another case in May, but he was cleared of a third allegation made by his former girlfriend.

William Forman, an attorney representing Scientology, clapped back at this latest filing, telling DailyMail.com:

“This baseless lawsuit is preposterous and will go nowhere. The entire lawsuit is a con job and an attempted shakedown.”

Whoa. This is going to be a very intense legal battle. For the alleged victim’s case, we hope justice will be served.

On Saturday, the 24-year-old singer performed at Lollapalooza in Stockholm, Sweden, and had been in the middle of his song Down Souf Hoes when suddenly someone from the crowd tried to throw an item at him on stage. What was it? Well, it turns out the object was a sex toy. Specifically, one that mimicked a vagina. When Lil Nas X saw the toy, he picked it up before jokingly asking:

“Who threw they p***y onstage?”

Thankfully, this incident didn’t result in any injuries. He seemed to move out of the way just in time before the sex toy could hit him. You can ch-ch-check out the moment (below):

As we mentioned before, other celebrities weren’t as lucky as Lil Nas X when it comes to fans’ strange behavior of trying to throw something on stage. Last month, Bebe Rexha had a cell phone chucked at her face during a show in New York City, resulting in a nasty black eye. She had to be taken to the hospital, and the attacker was arrested and charged with assault. His excuse for the incident? He thought it “would be funny.” Seriously?! Not cool.

Later, Ava Max was slapped by a fan onstage. Pink was given the weirdest gifts, everything from a wheel of cheese to a fan’s late mother’s ashes. And in another incident, Kelsea Ballerini had to pause her concert in Boise, Idaho, last week after she was struck in the eye with a friendship bracelet. She addressed the incident, saying:

“Hi. I’m fine. Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me. We all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that’s why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd all felt safe to continue. That’s all I ever want, is for shows to feel like a safe place for us all.”

Obviously, the latest incident with Lil Nas X turned out to be a fine. He even seemed to laugh it off. But in all seriousness, some fans are getting out of hand, crossing some major boundaries with performers, and even harming them. And it’s enough already. Reactions, Perezcious readers?

More concerning details about behind-the-scenes on the set of The Idol have been revealed…

There’s been a lot of talk about what it was like to film the controversial HBO series over the past few months ever since an explosive report from Rolling Stone dropped in March about how things went “wildly, disgustingly off the rails” during production. Specifically, insiders claimed to the outlet that director Sam Levinson had added “disturbing sexual and physically violent scenes between Depp and Tesfaye’s characters” – including ones that played out like “rape fantasies” and “sexual torture porn.”

Related: Lily-Rose & The Weeknd React To SNL‘s Chloe Fineman Spoofing The Idol

Despite the stars repeatedly denying the accusations, new claims have come out about Levinson’s actions on set of the show – and the details are truly troubling. According to Page Six on Friday, an insider revealed that there was a “non-consensual semen scene” that was shot and meant for last Sunday’s episode of the series. However, it ended up being cut.

The Weeknd, who portrays Tedros, and Lily-Rose Depp, who plays Jocelyn, were filming a sex scene in the bathroom of the singer’s home. At one point, the 38-year-old filmmaker gave a sudden direction for the scene that wasn’t originally in the script. The source claimed he “explicitly directed” The Weeknd to have Tedros “strangle” Jocelyn before ejaculating “inside her without her consent.”

The insider made it clear that the Blinding Lights artist himself “did not literally” ejaculate inside his co-star. But the pair “went along with Sam’s direction,” and Sam was allegedly “by the monitor, laughing and feeding lines to Abel’s character, like, ‘I own you.’”

What the f**k?! Allegedly laughing during this kind of traumatic and serious scene is beyond messed up. The Page Six source said many of those on set saw the scene as “extremely disturbing.”

As for why Sam pushed the sudden change of direction? Another source confirmed the troubling scene was filmed and “originally set up to lead to a pregnancy scare for Jocelyn and ultimately was cut because of storyline adjustments, which is a normal part of the creative process on a television series.” Defending Sam, they noted that he “does not take issues of consent lightly” and the team “was committed to creating a safe, collaborative and mutually respectful working environment on set, which included having an intimacy coordinator for various scenes.” Last time we checked, someone allegedly laughing during this kind of scene doesn’t exactly create a “safe” environment.

At this time, the show’s intimacy coordinator Mam Smith hasn’t responded to the accusations nor has Lily-Rose or The Weeknd. Meanwhile, Sam’s rep told Page Six he had “no comment.” A spokesperson for HBO then said:

“‘The Idol’ is a fictional show with flawed, fictional characters. The director and actors were all doing their jobs. It is a television series and therefore not real.”

What are your thoughts on the show, Perezcious readers? Do you think it’ll get picked up for a season 2 after all of these allegations? Let us know in the comments below.

Earlier this week, the Migos rapper very publicly accused the WAP star of cheating on him. As Perezcious readers will recall, Cardi hilariously (and very, very forcefully) denied the accusations and claimed she absolutely hadn’t cheated on her man.

And now, we’re getting updates that everything is… fine??

Related: Missing Titanic Sub Billionaire’s Stepson Can’t Stop Calling Out Cardi B! Jeez!

On Thursday evening, an insider close to the couple spoke to People about what the pair has been going through. While Offset’s claims of infidelity are serious, and Cardi’s denial in response was REALLY strong, it sounds like none of that will linger between them long-term. Seriously?!?!

So says this source, at least, who claimed to the mag that things are (eventually) going to be fine in the couple’s hectic world:

“They’re just having a little quarrel. They’re very intense so [they] go back and forth quite a bit. They’ll hash it out like they always do.”

Wow!

Well, we know that “very intense” part is true, at least. Just ask the stepson of one of the men tragically lost in that Titanic-bound submersible about the Bodak Yellow rapper’s strong opinions. Or, you can recall Cardi’s own jaw-dropping reveal about her body hair.

Lots of very fiery posts of all sorts from her! She doesn’t hold back! So why would a cheating denial be any different?!

Anyways, per the outlet, reps for both Cardi and Offset declined to comment on this insider’s “little quarrel” claim. Laying low seems to be the name of the game. So maybe this tempest will blow over just as quickly as it first popped up??

Is he serious?!

Chris Noth is apparently butt-hurt that his Sex and the City co-stars completely ghosted him after he was accused of sexual assault by multiple women in 2021… or is he? Depends on who you listen to… According to a new report in Radar Online on Friday, the actor felt “iced out” by Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and other SATC cast members after the allegations. The source dished:

“He’s not invited to their parties. He doesn’t get greeting cards or happy birthday texts.”

Is a grown man really complaining about not getting birthday texts? LOLz!

Related: Why Kim Cattrall Won’t ‘Speak Out’ About Chris’ Assault Scandal

Even more shocking is that Chris is supposedly confused why his friends stopped communicating with him, the insider noted:

“He wonders why SJP and her troupe continue to leave him out in the cold.”

Oh he wonders? Well, allow us to refresh him… The Law & Order alum, who portrayed Mr. Big throughout the popular series and the two films, was accused of assault by several women just days after the SATC reboot, And Just Like That, debuted. The 68-year-old vehemently denied the claims, and no charges were ever filed — but it quickly tanked his reputation and career.

While he had already been killed off AJLT in the premiere episode, a scene that was supposed to air later on in the season was cut out. He was also fired from his show The Equalizer and dropped by his agency, A3 Artists. Also, Peloton pulled an ad he was featured in.

Clapping back at the damaging allegations in a heated statement shared in December 2021, he argued:

“The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false. These stories could’ve been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago — no always means no — that is a line I did not cross. The encounters were consensual.”

The Law & Order alum also questioned the timeline of things, suggesting:

“It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”

Meanwhile, his former co-stars, SJP, Cynthia, and Kristin all released a joint statement — in support of the alleged victims. They said at the time:

“We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth. We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.”

In May 2022, Sarah revealed she had not spoken to her former on-screen hubby since the allegations went public. So, the insider isn’t wrong that Chris was completely iced out! But can you blame the Hocus Pocus star? It’s pretty common to distance oneself from someone amid a scandal — especially of this kind!

Related: And Just Like That Creator Teases LONGTERM Reunion For Carrie & Aidan!

The insider also revealed Chris found it upsetting how the crew “bent over backward” for “returning frenemy Kim Cattrall, which makes their treatment of him stink even worse.” But let’s remember, Kim wasn’t accused of an assault! Or anything! She just didn’t want to be friends with her co-stars anymore! Not even close to the same thing!

That said, because Chris was never charged with a crime, he reportedly feels slighted by his colleagues and he believes they owe him an apology for the “rude behavior” he’s put up with! Wow! Seriously?!

Well… maybe not!

Chris actually clapped back at this report on Friday afternoon — in fact, he insisted it was “absolute nonsense.” Sharing a screenshot of a New York Post article detailing the info above (HERE), he argued:

“I usually don’t respond to this kind of thing. And I do know that people like drama and gossip… but this article by Samantha Ibrahim is absolute nonsense. Just thought you’d like to know.”

Okay, then! Still makes us wonder if Chris has reconnected with SJP and the rest of the cast though?! What do YOU think? Let us know (below)!

The post Chris Noth Responds To Claims He Was 'Iced Out' By <i>SATC</i> Co-Stars After Assault Allegations! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

In a new episode of Hailey Bieber‘s YouTube show, Who’s In My Bathroom?, out on Wednesday, Kimmy Kakes let her guard down and got real about her sexual preferences, best and worst dates, and just about everything in between.

For starters, Justin Bieber‘s wife buttered Kim up with ice cream sundaes before playing the drinking game, “Truth or Shot.” Just as you’d expect, when either one of them was delivered a hard Q, they’d either have to answer honestly or take a shot of Kendall Jenner‘s 818 Tequila!

When asked if she preferred “angry” or “makeup sex,” the reality star didn’t hold back, saying:

“Makeup sex. Isn’t that like the best ’cause it’s like you missed each other and you’re passionate and you know you’re making up.”

They both then revealed their biggest turn-on is kissing, Hailey shared:

“I think kissing! I like a make-out.”

At this point, the younger model revealed she’s a member of the “mile high club,” and Kim agreed, replying, “Samezies!” She then admitted she was surprised the Rhode Skin founder didn’t even try to coax that out of her, but Hailey said she didn’t think she needed to ask because she’s got a private jet, so it’s sorta obvious!

Kim then joked that she thought Hailey didn’t “even need to ask” because of a totally different reason, teasing:

“I thought you were just saying like, ‘Of course, you’re a w****.'”

LOLz!!

As for another obvious answer, the SKIMS founder said her DMs are constantly blowing up (unlike Hailey’s, apparently), dishing:

“A lot of people slide into my DMs. I’m not going to lie, a lot of inappropriate people.”

Then things got really interesting when Hailey wondered if Kim had a celebrity crush. It turns out she does — and she’s trying to make it happen IRL! She noted:

“I almost want to take a drink because I kinda want it to come true.”

Hmm, could it be Jared Leto? The two were seen making some flirty body language at Pharrell Williams‘ fashion show this week. She ultimately didn’t give up a name, explaining:

“I’m more into privacy these days.”

Part of the reason for this is that her crush (possibly her new mystery man?!) doesn’t know she’s crushing on them yet. Fair enough! If he found out through an inevitable wave of online attention, it might mess up her chances from the get-go! Similarly, she didn’t reveal her “worst date ever” to protect the other person. That’s kind! LMFAO!

Someone else she’s always protecting?! Her sis, Khloé Kardashian, who “gets a lot of s**t” and “gets it the worst,” Kim complained:

“People don’t ever want to take a second to be like, ‘She’s human.'”

While she often feels the need to “clap back” to defend her sister, most of the time she manages to chill out and hash out her feelings in the family chat before making things worse. Instead of inciting internet feuds, she’s keeping her priorities straight by focusing on her family and career, she reflected:

“You have to show up for people. All this other stuff is noise. People wanna believe what they wanna believe and you can’t change that. It’s about finding your inner peace and you being OK with that.”

Aw! Seems like a very relevant thing to be telling Hailey right now, too! As we all know, she’s been taking heat for seemingly bashing Selena Gomez alongside Kylie Jenner. The scandal has led to an onslaught of online hate, and maybe that’s why Kim went on the YouTub series — to show her support? Seems likely! Ch-ch-check out the full episode and all the shenanigans (below)!
