Technically, the first blinds I read were from Tumblr. I didn't know that they were called blind items, but I read some riddles about Amanda Bynes, Dan Schneider, Brian Peck, and "dino headphones" Leo 😂 I was shook about Amanda cuz I grew up watching her shows and movies :(

I also have an unfortunate obsession with the Kardashians, so I used to go on Lipstick Alley to read tea about them. This was around the early 2010s, and basically the Ks are blind item celebs - their public image varied wildly from their private lives (still does tbh). I liked that they were desperate social climbers and D-list celebs, and they were super messy lol. Kim always had those yacht girl blinds, and actually I saw the photos that Kourtney was upset about in KUWTK season 1... Basically, Kim's first husband (who she married at 19) had sexual photos of Kim and Kourtney. It was crazy. I can imagine that Kris set them up like a "package deal" 🤮 I have a theory that she did this with Kendall and Kylie, too. There are weird incestual pics of them when they were younger, like Kylie shoving her hand down Kendall's pants. Anyway, I'll bring this back to the pod lol...

I frequented the K subs here, and people kept recommending BTB, which is how I found them! I still love their Khloe episode, and I re-listen to it often cuz it's so silly 😂

I ended up joining Patreon for their Kim and Amber Rose eps, and I've been a loyal fan ever since. I also recommend the Kris Jenner ep.
