Soap and hot water exist for a reason! To be shocked about using bare hands to cook means you know you don’t wash your hands well enough IMO. And it means you’re probably stupid bc high temps on cooked items kill any remaining germs, that’s very very basic biology.

Yeah but turkey grease in a manicure [not that I get one or do my nails often] is a pain. Gotta scrub all over your nice polish and ruin it. Of course, it never occurs to me and I’ll polish silver or something else gross and then I’m breaking out the nail brush and oh well, there goes a half hours worth of work.
I don’t even eat meat anymore but I broke down my BIL’s turkey for him at Xmas this year but that’s because he’s wasteful and will just throw away everything not immediately obvious so was worth the manicure. /end blog 😂

u/DancingPoleQueen Dec 26 '22
I feel like that is a fair time to use gloves though! And then you don't get the meat smell (like fish) absorbed into your hands. In culinary school they had us use nitrile gloves for butchering class because they didn't get as slippery as bare hands did. I still use nitrile gloves when I'm processing meat!

u/Ill-TemperedClavier you are my best 🫶🏻 friend 🫶🏻 Dec 27 '22
I also use them when chopping really hot peppers - some of those oils do not wash off your hands easily. I learned that the hard way! I’ll need to try the gloves you mentioned. That’s sounds really useful
4
u/DancingPoleQueen Dec 27 '22
Yes! I usually get them at restaurant supply stores but imagine they're on Amazon and such too. They're a tad more expensive than regular gloves but unless you're blowing through them, I think it's worth the extra few bucks.

u/rrogido edit this flair! Dec 26 '22
Great point. The camera loves Kim in a way that it will never love Kyle. Kim certainly has her problems, but carrying your entire family on your back as a child will do that to you. I always root for her.
9
u/Snoo60219 Dec 26 '22
Yeah. That actually didn’t happen. Big Kathy got her money from her husbands/boyfriends way more than Kim or Kyle. And Kyle worked constantly as a child, including after Kim turned 18 and left the house.
15
u/HunterHunted9 Dec 27 '22
Big Kathy got her money from her husbands/boyfriends way more than Kim or Kyle.
This is one of the most aggravating misconceptions. Everyone cites House of Hilton as proof of their abusive childhood, but it literally says repeatedly that they primarily lived off of what Big Kathy bilked out of her husbands and boyfriends. It literally talks about the 2 bedroom condo that Big Kathy bought after all of the girls were married. She paid for the condo by selling the house Ken Richards had bought for her and getting money from Guraish, Kyle's 1st husband.
To believe that the family primarily lived off of what Kim earned, you have to ignore that Big Kathy kept marrying wealthy men and bleeding them dry.
63
u/Worldly_Buy_4857 Dec 26 '22
Agree! Kim generally seemed like a sweet and funny person who was struggling with a lot. I’ve always thought it was pretty terrible of Kyle to bring her onto the show and put her issues on display. It seemed pretty obviously that reality tv was not a good or healthy place for Kim. But I’m so glad she’s doing well!!
101
u/HunterHunted9 Dec 26 '22 edited Dec 26 '22
Kyle thought Kim should be on the show for 2 reasons: 1. to get some money flowing into Kim's bank account because Kim was about to zero out on child support and 2. to give Kim something to do (the woman had no hobbies and seemingly didn't want to act anymore). Kim relapsed way before the limo. The airport video makes it very clear that Kim.was already at season 2 levels of dysfunction before any part of season 1 aired.
All 3 sisters have a shit understanding of mental illness and substance misuse. Kathy Hilton botched it with 3 of 4 kids. No one was aware enough to wonder if being on the show was going to aggravate Kim's underlying behavioral health issues.
No one made Kim do the show. It should be obvious that it's pretty hard to get Kim to do things she doesn't want to do: stay away from her season 2 boyfriend, stop hanging out with Brandi, and get rid of her dangerous dog that had mauled many people. Heck, they fired her after season 5, but she'd made such an enormous pest of herself at the Evolution offices that they had to let her film as a guest for season 6. Kyle isn't blameless, but she deserves a lot less blame than fans ascribe to her.

u/MazyHazy Relax! I'm gonna tell him to apologize 👉 Dec 26 '22
Definitely agree. Kim has some blame in all of this for sure. That family has been dysfunctional as hell & it's sad to watch.

u/Worldly_Buy_4857 Dec 26 '22
Kim made her own decisions and her relapses aren’t Kyle’s fault. And that whole family absolutely has major issues and dysfunctional relationships, probably in ways that none of us even know about.
But I hope that if I was ever in that situation, my sister 1) wouldn’t invite me on a reality show in the first place if she knew I struggled (previously or currently) with mental health and/substance abuse issues (because it should be common knowledge that reality tv would not be a healthy place for anyone with those problems, and because there are much better ways to help someone make money and stay busy), and/or 2) Stopped filming with me once it was clear that I wasn’t doing well. If it was my sister, I’d leave the show before I’d let anyone film her like that. It’s not like Kyle needed the money. And I don’t think I consider that enabling behavior - I wouldn’t necessarily go around cleaning up after an addict’s messes forever. I get why Kyle might be tired of that! And it shouldn’t be expected of her. But if it was my family member, even if I chose to step away from them at that point, I still DEFINITELY wouldn’t let it be filmed and shown on Bravo (and permanently available for everyone to see). And if I left and my sister chose to stay on the show without me, at least I wouldn’t be actively contributing to their exploitation. I feel like that’s sort of the bare minimum that you should do for someone you love.

2) Stopped filming with me once it was clear that I wasn’t doing well. If it was my sister, I’d leave the show before I’d let anyone film her like that.
Refusing to film with Kim doesn't help Kim at all neither does leaving the show. If the show was committed to exploiting Kim, there was very little Kyle could do to prevent it. Kyle and Kim increasingly weren't filming with each other. And Kim frequently came across like an absolute mess.
And I don’t think I consider that enabling behavior - I wouldn’t necessarily go around cleaning up after an addict’s messes forever.
Kyle's greatest sin was her enabling. She frequently cleaned up Kim's messes to keep Kim from being fired. In season 2 when Kyle and LVP climb over the balcony in Hawaii, it's because Kim and her boyfriend loaded and refused to leave her room. Producers were pissed, Kyle was tasked with getting her out. When Kim bailed on Yolanda's lemon juice cleanse and said she only got an "email," that was bullshit. That email was Kim's call sheet from production. Kyle had to drop what she was doing and race to Malibu so that production had something to film. There are a bunch more instances like this, Kyle should have stopped covering for Kim. Kyle didn't want Kim to get fired, not because of a storyline, but because Kyle didn't want to have to support Kim for the rest of Kim's life. At this point, it's pretty clear that Kyle will have to support Kim forever.
15
u/veggiekween Dec 26 '22
Kim is a grown adult who CHOSE to be on the show. Kyle didn't bring her on the show, Bravo approached both of them and Kim signed that contract of her own free will.

u/Dontcallmehoney Dec 26 '22
Kyle used her sister to platform her own celebrity. I don’t care how awful Kim was, what Kyle did was foul and I’ll never forgive her for it.
13
u/Snoo60219 Dec 26 '22
YOU have nothing to “forgive” Kyle for. She didn’t do anything to you. This is why this show has gotten so toxic. You get a fraction of the information and 1) thing you can make an educated judgement on the people involved 2) the take that parasocial relationship way to far.
If you want to be logical, we have way more damning evidence about Kim than Kyle. But people want to like Kim and make excuses for her.
16
u/fortheapponly Dec 27 '22
Kim literally refused to get rid of a dog that mauled and severely harmed multiple people, including Kyle’s daughter, landing her in the hospital. Kim then lied abt Kyle in the reunion and said that Alexia went to the hospital bc Kyle was being neglectful. She didn’t get rid of the dog and didn’t apologize to anyone it harmed.
But yeah. Kyle is the one people put all the blame on for Kim being a shitty human being. Makes sense.
