There’s never a lack of interest in
anything Kim Kardashian–related. So when the reality star gave birth to
her baby girl on June 15—five weeks earlier than her reported due
date—the rumors began to fly. Had the Kardashian clan pulled one over on
the unsuspecting public? Was it just another publicity stunt? Did Kanye
West, the baby’s father, have anything to do with it? While there are
some reports that medical complications led to an early delivery, the Internet needed no proof to start spinning crazy conspiracy theories. Here are a few of the best.
Timed Birth to Kanye’s Record Release
What better way to gin up publicity for Kanye’s new album than for Kim to give birth a day after it leaked? That’s the argument being made by one strand of conspiracy theorists on the web. Kanye insists
he isn’t concerned about sales. But, with the world (or at least most
of the world) absorbed by the news of little Kimye’s early arrival, the
number of people who plunk down cold, hard plastic to purchase Yeezus is sure to rise, these conspiracy theorists say. If only having children worked that way.
Induced Labor Early to Avoid Weight Gain
The
last few weeks of pregnancy are the worst. And, given how Kim has built
an empire on her looks, it’s not a complete and total stretch to
believe she had doctors induce labor early to avoid puffing up any
further, according to another group of haters. Everyone wants to get
back to their pre-baby body, Kim isn’t any different, and she has the
means to make her doctors do her bidding, this theory goes. The supposed
proof? A tweet of her in a bikini accompanied by the words “Can’t wait to go back.”
Faked the Due Date for Privacy
Did Kimye throw off their fans, the paparazzi, and the world by intentionally giving a fake due date?
The couple announced their baby was expected in mid-July, but since
everything Kim does is photo-documented and then catalogued on the World
Wide Web, Internet denizens everywhere began wondering if they’d been
had.
Lied So The Baby Would Be Associated with Kate Middleton’s
The
one baby who could topple little Kimye as the most anticipated birth of
the summer is, of course, the offspring of the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge. Kim was reportedly ecstatic
that her baby would be born in the same month as Kate Middleton’s and
sent the other mommy-to-be a maternity gift, according to The Mirror. In
hindsight, mostly anonymous Internet commentators wouldn’t put it past
Kim to make it all up for a little more publicity.
Induced Early so the Royal Baby Doesn’t Steal the Spotlight
On
the other hand, how much money are pictures of the little
Kardashian-West baby worth? Will they still be worth that much if the
baby arrives around the same time as Will and Kate’s? Some conspiracy
theorists argue that Kim, who has made a career out of ginning up
publicity, didn’t want the royal baby to steal the spotlight
from her little one. (The media can be so fickle.) Kim had better soak
it up now, they say, because once the future heir to the British throne
arrives, no one’s going to care about…who were we talking about again?
Lied Out of Embarrassment for Getting Pregnant So Quickly
After being married to Kris Humphries for only 72 days, Kim rebounded rather quickly with Kanye. Once she and Kanye were together, it wasn’t that long until she announced she was pregnant. The pair started dating in August of 2012 and by December they let the world know that they were expecting. An extra month, according to these conspiracy theorists, gave the couple just a little more credibility.
Wanted the Baby Born for Father’s Day
What
better present is there for a prospective daddy than to give your
unborn child the heave-ho from the womb just in time for Father’s Day?
That’s the line of thinking
among our last group of commenters who think Kim put the baby at risk
for a nefarious reason. What to give the man who has everything, right?
