It’s been a few months since the height of the Kylie and Jordyn drama, and we’ve all pretty much moved on. Sadly, we have jobs, so we can’t just spend our entire days refreshing Instagram to see who has liked Kylie’s latest post. But while most of us civilians have accepted the fact that Tristan Thompson is garbage and moved on with our lives, we don’t really know where Kylie and Jordyn stand in the aftermath of all of this.
Of course, in the weeks following the initial chaos of Jordyngate, there were endless reports on Kylie and Jordyn texting, or meeting up, or sending smoke signals to each other across Calabasas, but all of it was pretty much based on nothing but rumors and anonymous sources, which are hard to trust.
But this weekend, we finally know for a fact that Kylie and Jordyn were in the same place at the same time. Thanks to the good people of TMZ, there is photographic evidence of both of them arriving at Bootsy Bellows in WeHo on Friday night for their friend Stassie Karanikolaou, better known as @stassiebaby on Instagram. I’ll get to more on her in a minute.
Sadly, I was not at the party, so I can’t attest to what happened once they were inside, but at the very least, Jordyn knew for a fact that Kylie would be at this party, and she still chose to go. Who knows if they had a long conversation, or even really interacted at all, but it’s hard to avoid someone in a club VIP. In my heart of hearts, I feel like Kylie and Jordyn can at least have a casual conversation without things getting weird. They left in separate cars (Kylie with Stassie, and Jordyn with Jaden Smith, because this friend group is insane), but I hope they at least had a chance to chat inside.
As if there wasn’t already enough to think about at this party, Tristan Thompson happened to be at the same club on Friday night. He most likely wasn’t invited to Stassie’s party (that would be messy af), so it’s fairly likely that he didn’t even cross paths with Kylie or Jordyn, but honestly I’m feeling inspired to write a screenplay about Friday night at Bootsy Bellows. There’s got to be a movie somewhere in all of this.
After the party on Friday, Kylie spent Saturday celebrating Stassie’s birthday again with a really questionable party themed around The Handmaid’s Tale. I’m not sure she knows what the show is actually about, but I’m glad she and her friends had fun running around the house in bonnets and calling their makeup artist/friend Ariel Tejada “Commander Ariel.” Sorry Kylie, but I really don’t think Gilead would take kindly to your thirst trap selfies.
The birthday weekend for Stassie continued on Sunday, with a pool day where everyone wore pink bikinis.
You can tell that Kylie and Stassie have been friends for along time, because they’ve clearly had all of the same surgeries. Love that! According to Instagram, the only other person at the pool day was Yris Palmer, who owns a lash extension company that the Kardashians endorse.
As for Stassie, here’s what you need to know. First, she is not the same person as Stassi Schroeder from Vanderpump Rules. They do look a little similar, and I’m sure Stassi Schroeder would die to be invited to Kylie Jenner’s pool, but this is a different Stassie. Stassie Karanikolaou (I memorized the spelling so I’m going to say it as many times as I can, okay) and Kylie have been friends for nearly a decade, so she’s not some new sidekick tagging along to get followers. She’s an old sidekick tagging along to get followers! In the months since Kylie and Jordyn hit their, um, rocky patch, Stassie has been seen with Kylie a lot, so she’s really making the most of this opening.
Stassie is a model, because basically anyone with four million Instagram followers can be a model. She also has a YouTube channel, and it’s not exactly premium content. Her most recent video is a haul from White Fox (obviously sponsored), and it’s honestly one of the lowest-energy videos I’ve ever seen. Being good at YouTube is a talent, and I’m not sure Stassie has it. Actually, I’m p sure she doesn’t. But what do I know, she’s the one with 200k subscribers.
In terms of where Kylie and Jordyn stand in their friendship now, it’s still tough to know. They still both follow each other on Instagram, so it seems like things haven’t gotten worse. Neither of them liked the other’s photos from the birthday festivities this weekend, but Jordyn did like a video of Stormi that Kylie posted the other day. Kylie hasn’t liked any of Jordyn’s recent posts, but she’s probably busy coming up with new and creative products that will destroy your skin.
So for now, you can all go about your important daily routines, but I’ll probably keep checking to see if Kylie throws a like Jordyn’s way. At this point, it’s just the humane thing to do, Kylie. And as for Tristan Thompson, I hope he had a terrible time at the club on Friday and no one wanted to go home with him.

It’s been just two weeks since the Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson scandal rocked all of our worlds, but the drama really never ends. I’ll admit, in the days since Jordyn’s interview with Jada Pinkett Smith, I’ve tried to focus on other things, like my job and my real human relationships. But after six arduous days of pretending to be a real person, luckily there’s new Kardashian drama to keep me occupied. Tristan Thompson, who is the literal worst, has already been seen out and about with a new woman who’s been identified as model Karizma Ramirez. Who is Karizma Ramirez? Let’s go through the details.
On Tuesday night, Tristan was seen with Karizma Ramirez in NYC, after having dinner together at Nobu. They also apparently went to Carbone together last week, because even a douchebag like Tristan can’t resist their spicy rigatoni alla vodka. Seriously, I’ve been trying to get a table at Carbone for months, so should I just agree to go on a date with Tristan Thompson? I’m really weighing my options at this point.
So while Tristan might just be pulling his classic move of hooking up with whatever groupie is in the town he’s visiting for an NBA game, I still need to know more. Especially because of the recent drama, Google searches of “who is Karizma Ramirez?” are going to be through the f*cking roof. We might forget her name by this time next week, but for now, let’s dive in.
First, I’d just like to reiterate that her name is Karizma. It’s like charisma, but if you put it through a blender and then tried to put the pieces back together. I’m not sure if this was her birth name, or if she came up with it all by herself, but still, great work to whoever picked this name. I see a spelling bee in your future!
Karizma Ramirez is a 28-year-old model from New Jersey, and she’s like, really pretty. The most important fact about her past, other than that she competed in the Hooters Swimsuit Pageant in 2010, is that she used to date Chris Brown. Yikes. I’m not trying to come for Karizma personally, but it strikes me that she might not have the absolute best taste in men. Just a casual observation.
Frustratingly, Karizma’s Instagram is private, which seems like an odd choice for a model. At the time I’m writing this, she has less than 6,000 followers, so it seems like she really doesn’t just approve anyone. Interestingly, one of those 6,000 followers is Blac Chyna, which is probably just a coincidence, but it really makes me wonder. Are Karizma and Chyna in cahoots? I always low-key thought that Blac Chyna would be the one to bring the Kardashian empire crashing down, so I wouldn’t put anything past her.
Maybe, instead of asking “Who is Karizma Ramirez?”, we should be asking ourselves “Who does Karizma Ramirez work for?” Have I just exposed a secret anti-Kardashian mafia? Idk, only time will tell. Either way, Tristan Thompson is a dick, and I hope Khloé Kardashian is doing amazing right now.
