Kehlani and Kyrie Scandal

          Earlier this week, a cheating scandal between young celebrities was the trending topic. I’d like to see what some of your opinions on events that occurred.

First things first, you need to know who’s who.

Kyrie Irving: point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, age 24


Kehlani: singer-songwriter from Oakland, CA


Partynextdoor: singer/rapper from Canada 

        Okay, so now that you know who's who, here goes the story... so Kehlani and Partynextdoor used to date pretty publicily, but they broke up months ago. Months later Kehlani and Kyrie Irving announced they were in an exclusive and extremely happy relationship.


       With that noted, Partynextdoor posted this picture on his Instagram on Monday. Notice that hand? 


         Many people were confused when they saw Kehlani in Partynextdoor's bed, while she is supposedly supposed to still be a relationship with Kyrie Irving. Partynextdoor deleted the photo soon after, but the media got a hold of it, and the drama blew up. Twitter spent the entire talking about the situation. Most people were criticizing Kehlani for her decisions and calling her awful names. Kehlani along with the rest of the love triangle remained silent for the remainder of the day until about 2am that Monday night when Kehlani posted a picture to Instagram with a caption that implied that she wanted to take her own life. 


      Twitter then responded in an uproar with numerous posts joking about Kehlani being a hoe and jokes directly related to her suicide attempt. 
      I say all this to ask what you guys think about this whole situation. Personally, I feel like we tend to forget that these public figures are human beings too at the end of the day with real life feelings and problems. Kehlani is only two years older than me, therefore she is prone to still get caught up in teenage drama. I think the media should have cut her a break. I also think that this is a direct example of how we should never judge because we never know the full story. We have no idea what Kehlani is going through. Suicide is serious, and hopefully this taught people to be more sensitive to what other people are going through. 
       What do you guys think? How do you all feel about the situation? What is your stance? Why?

  1. My opinion on this is that it was taken way to far. What people do with their lives is their business. The media exploited this situation and everyone judged her without knowing the true story! From my understanding kyrie and kehlani were broken up because they were better as friends and then she decided to go back to PND. but everyone doesn't see nor hear that side of the story.

  2. I did my post on this too, and I feel that this is just a normal situation that just got escalated because their famous. I do think that PartyNextDoor was being petty though. I also think Kehlani's suicide post, was not needed and was low-key cry for attention.

  3. I really don't care about the situation when I saw this on twitter i really didn't care I mean yes she cheated but that's her she is going to have to deal with the consequences of her actions. Karma is real. But her doing the suicide attempt was a cry for attention, you cheated you can not be angry that people are bashing you she could've removed herself from social media for a week or two she saw how everyone was on Kyrie's side defending him she just wanted to get some attention as well.

  4. I agree with you on this situation. I personally think that Party Next Door is childish for this whole instagram post. What was the point of the whole thing ?
    I think that he wanted to get things stirred up just to stay relevant.
