It feels like Kim Kardashian has been less thirsty now that she’s in her 40s. I mean, she’s still a famewhore and all of that, but she can go weeks and sometimes months without making news or causing a commotion on social media or in real life. Still, when she does make news, it’s usually for something awful, like her appearance at Lauren Sanchez’s wedding, or making shapewear for your face. Well, Kim is making news in recent days because of an Instagram post. Apparently, she went down to Mexico for an experimental stem-cell treatment on her… shoulder. There are so many odd details to this story, and I’m not sure I believe any part of it other than “Kim went to Mexico for a medical procedure.”

Kim Kardashian has been slammed by fans after the reality star talked about traveling internationally to receive stem cell treatment on her Instagram, with commenters telling her, “we’re poor,” and reminding her, “We’re not all billionaires unfortunately.”

The reality star, 44, posted a photo to Instagram on August 8 where she shared her “stem cell journey,” saying treatment with Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna Health helped treat her shoulder after she tore a muscle two years ago while lifting weights.

Kardashian said she was in “debilitating pain” and “tried everything to find relief.” She went on to praise Dr. Khan and stem cell therapy, claiming “the results were immediate. I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since.”

She shared that she returned to Dr. Khan to treat “chronic back pain,” again praising stem cell treatment for freeing her from “unbearable pain.” “If you’re struggling with back pain, I can’t recommend this treatment enough – it’s transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down.”

However, she had to travel to Mexico for this treatment, which isn’t available in the U.S. The cost of shoulder stem cell therapy in Mexico ranges from $4,000-$15,000, according to Global Stem Cell Therapy. The cost of the treatment, plus travel expenses, prompted an outcry on social media from commenters.

“Hey Kim, we’re poor,” wrote one person — whose comment had more than 5 thousand likes.

“Kim, there’s people that are dying,” wrote another — a reference to sister Kourtney’s infamous cut-down of her sister after Kim began crying over a lost diamond earring in an iconic Keeping Up with the Kardashians scene.

“We’re not all billionaires unfortunately,” wrote another, and another observed, “She tells the story like we all can relate…oh I’ll just fly to Mexico to have some special procedure done by some special doctor.”

Do you think she was receiving stem-cell treatments for a bad back and bum shoulder? The one thing I don’t doubt is that she had some medical procedures in Mexico, and if she insists that it was stem-cell treatment on those body parts, so be it, and I can’t prove otherwise. Still, I have questions. Isn’t it odd that she posted this on Instagram? Like, is she getting the procedures done for free in exchange for the promotion? And why are Kim and Khloe both wearing sunglasses in a doctor’s office/surgical suite? How often do the Kardashians run down to Mexico for medical procedures?

A few weeks ago, Kim Kardashian arrived in Paris with her mother Kris Jenner. Kris was there for moral support – at long last, Kim appeared in court and testified against the group of people who robbed her at gunpoint in 2016, during Paris Fashion Week. Kim testified for one day, I think, and she spoke to the court about how life-altering the incident was and how she thought she was going to die. Well, the verdict is in. Eight of the ten defendants were found guilty. But those eight people will not be serving any jail sentences, because the sentencing was basically the French equivalent of “time served.” What the hell kind of trial was this?

Kim Kardashian is feeling relief and gratitude following the end of the trial related to her 2016 Paris robbery. On Friday, May 23, eight of the ten defendants on trial for charges related to the robbery, where Kardashian was held at gunpoint and millions of dollars of jewelry were stolen, were found guilty, per NBC News.

Kardashian, 44, told PEOPLE in a statement following the jury’s verdict that she’s “deeply grateful to the French authorities for pursuing justice in this case.”

“The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family,” she said. “While I’ll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system.”

Her attorneys Michael Rhodes, Léonor Hennerick and Jonathan Mattou also shared a statement with PEOPLE and said that Kardashian “appreciates the Court’s decision and once again thanks the French authorities for treating her with great respect throughout the process.”

“It has been a long journey from that terrible night back in 2016 to her standing courageously in a historic Paris courtroom to confront these criminals,” their statement continued. “She looks forward to putting this tragic episode behind her, as she continues working to improve the criminal justice system on behalf of victims, the innocent, and the incarcerated seeking to redeem themselves.”

All of the eight suspects who were found guilty will walk free due to the fact that they have all served time previously, CNN reported. Judge David De Pas called the sentences “quite lenient,” per the outlet. “They were thought of a long way away from this serious event, which impacted the civil parties. You have caused harm, even if you did not strike, if blood has not been shed, you have caused fear,” De Pas said.

“Armed robbery of millions of dollars in jewelry” gets time served?? And they did physically harm Kim – they tied her up at gunpoint! That’s battery or assault. I realize that most European courts are much more lenient, but damn. Anyway, I’m glad Kim got her day in court and this chapter is finally over, nearly nine years later. Given Kim’s statement about “advocating for justice and promoting a fair legal system,” I would also assume that she knew that the robbers weren’t going to be thrown back into prison forever.

In recent weeks, there’s been a lot of focus on Kim Kardashian’s nascent acting career, as she’s the lead in Ryan Murphy’s latest show, All’s Fair, and she weirdly keeps booking acting jobs. Whenever I saw any kind of update about Kim’s acting career, I always thought “but what about law school??” Six years ago, Kim announced that she was studying law and doing a makeshift, DIY law school program. We hadn’t gotten an update on her law studies in a while, and I genuinely thought we would eventually get an announcement like “it was too hard, I give up.” But no – Kim has now graduated.

Kim Kardashian has a big reason to celebrate! On Wednesday, May 21, the reality star, 44, revealed she had graduated from her four-year Law Office Study Program in a series of videos shared to her Instagram Stories. The program took Kim six years, instead of four years, to complete due to COVID and work, PEOPLE has learned.

Kim gave fans a glimpse into what appeared to be a backyard graduation ceremony, as her closest friends and family gathered to celebrate the milestone in her legal journey.

“I finally graduated law school after six years!!!” she wrote over a video of her putting on a graduation cap on stage as speakers congratulated her for her achievements.

“It’s an absolute honor to stand here today, not just as mentors, but as witnesses to one of the most inspiring legal journeys we’ve ever seen,” Jessica Jackson, one of the attorneys sponsoring Kim’s education said on stage. “Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this program with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice. No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination and a mountain of case log books to read.”

“Over the course of this program, Kim has dedicated 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years,” Jackson continued. “That’s a total of 5,184 hours of legal study, that’s time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others.”

In a subsequent slide, Kim hugged her mentors as she walked on stage with a certificate of completion in hand. The crowd cheered when she held up the piece of paper and her children could be seen celebrating with her on stage.

CNN political commentator and friend Van Jones also gave a speech in Kim’s honor, celebrating her accomplishments along the six-year journey.

Kim’s backyard ceremony was an occasion for the entire family. In addition to her kids, her sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian Barker were also in attendance and shared how proud they were of all of her achievements.

I’m really interested in the wording around Kim’s graduation and whether or not she actually received a degree or a JD – People Mag calls it a “certificate of completion” and they’re not saying she graduated from law school, but she graduated from a “Law Office Study Program.” I googled this – it sounds like the LOS is considered the equivalent of a JD – so does she technically have a JD now? Anyway, congrats to Kim, I really did not think she would stick with the program and complete the program. I genuinely find it inspirational when people go back to school or seek new degrees later in their lives. Be real – Kim did not have to do any of this, and her fans would not have judged her if she had given up. I’m sure her father be so proud of her.
