Rob Kardashian fails spectacularly at being a ‘great Husband’

And now we turn to the modern-day Branwell Brontë, Rob Kardashian: the brother whose talents have for too long been overshadowed by his flashier sisters. Rob has truly been letting his genius shine through this week by being what he has called “honest” on social media and what the law may well call “posting revenge porn”.

LiS hasn’t drunk enough vodka in its life to engage in the specifics of Rob’s love life, so suffice to say that love is hard, and it’s even harder when you post explicit photos of the mother of your child to prove what a bad parent she is and what a terrific one you are.

Rob’s Instagram account has since been taken down, depriving his followers of his further thoughts on what a “great Husband” he was to model Blac Chyna, proven by the fact he paid for her to have post-childbirth cosmetic surgery “to get all everything fixed as much as they could ... I can’t believe u would disrespect me like this!”

Rob also thanked his late father for showing him “the truth” about Chyna. This would be Robert Kardashian, OJ Simpson’s long-term best friend, and the reason the Kardashians are famous in the first place. Do we have space to wonder why Rob might be barely on speaking terms with the concept of morality? Sadly, it seems not.
