Cop a gander of Adrienne Bailon, who looks like a bag of money and good living a-front of Latina Magazine‘s September 2014 issue.
It’s not just her cover that’s catching attention, though. It’s her words — more specifically the one’s she offered on her ex boyfriend Rob Kardashian — that have many, including his sister Kim Kardashian, talking the most.
Interestingly, the singer/actress – who adds talk show host to her attributes when ‘The Real’ returns for a full season on September 15th – said that being associated with the “Kardashian” name dented her brand.
Quotes and Kim’s not so subtle response below…
Speaking to Latina, the former 3LW and Cheetah Girls star said of her two year relationship with Rob (which spanned 2007-2009):
To be stuck with that Kardashian label, that was so hurtful to me and to my career. I probably realized that too late — not that it would’ve affected my decisions in terms of who I dated, but it would’ve affected my decision to appear on the show (‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’).
(I didn’t think) anyone would even care. But they did, and do. To this day, people will still say, ‘You ruined Rob’s life!’ and I’ll think, ‘Damn, I was still playing with Barbie dolls when I met him.’
It’s common knowledge that he cheated on me. It always bothered me that people were like, ‘Pero, why couldn’t you forgive him?’. Why are women always the ones who have to forgive? If you cheated on a man, he would be like, ‘You’re disgusting, and I want nothing to do with you.’ But women, we’re supposed to be like, ‘He messed up. He made a mistake.’
In my situation, it wasn’t like, ‘Oh my God! I made a mistake!’ He strategically planned things out so that he could cheat on me, and that to me was so disloyal.”
Bailon’s baring didn’t seem to go down well with Rob’s publicity-hungry sister Kim, who took to Twitter to say:
Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the only reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian

So sad when people try to kick my brother when he is down #FamilyForever

Putting aside our inability to take anything “Kardashian” related seriously, it’s understandable why Kim’s going to bat for her brother. Yet, that doesn’t invalidate what Adrienne is saying or the fact that she has many legitimate claims to success – with receipts to back them up. She also has a number of discernible talents – which is more than can be said for any Kardashian. As such, we say: onwards and upwards and good riddance to bad rubbish!
KIM NEEDS TO SIT HER FAKE ASS DOWN
HER FAMILY IS ONLY FAMOUS BECAUSE OF HER WORN OUT CAKE HOLE
*PLAYS F***** MY WAY UP TO YHE TOP*
You know what??? I can’t take this hefty trash bag serious!!! Girl aren’t you and your pimp Motha ruining what left of Kanye’s career??? Instead of tweeting you need to take care of compass!!!! Child cut!!! I’m done
Sadly, Kanye is what’s ruining his career.
Kim doesn’t have the ground to talk about why someone is on a cover or is famous. You will forever be known for getting f***** by Brandy’s little brother.
As for this Babylon chic, serves you right. You and that other girl did that dark skin girl wrong in that group, think you were Beyonce or something. And I recall very well that your Disney career was ruined when you leaked your own nudes, trying to take a page out the Kardashian book. Mickey Mouse dropped you and that p*** poor singing group to the Disney World curve ASAP.
Rob seems like that little spoiled brother and was only known because his sisters and brothers were cool in school. So I’m sure by dating him, you were trying to get fame off of it as well. But she has a point, men think they can cheat and even beat a woman and she’s suppose to forgive, eff that.
U sure that’s why she’s famous ? Why isn’t Ray j famous unless he’s grabbing a tittyy in the club ? Controversy sells dear she
could’ve been fuxking
anyone her fathers ties made her famous and gave her the “heiress” title
If Ray was with any random no one would care
Let’s not forget that Paris did it first and made it a trend. No one knew who Trasian was until that s** tape and Brandy’s little brother was the only “celeb” in that tape. You gotta recall this was the orgins of whores being famous for being famous.
Exactly. Let’s not forget that slutdashian was just another groupie until she jumped on Paris Hilton’s bandwagon.
Someone is mad!!!!! Lmfao
OOOOP go in.
Kim literally f***** her way to the top. So I don’t get why she’s talking shyt .Nobody will ever take her seriously nor respect her.
Lawd I hate these Kardashians. Ughh
Who is taken seriously in pop culture nowadays anyway they’re all a joke tbh
Good point.
Hey all! I just wanted to let you know that in support of my girl Rihanna’s new Monster Tour I will be giving free blow jobs to any of the Navy who can provide receipts of a ticket purchase. If you live out of state I can FaceTime or Skype you a video of me and my ginormous dilldo playing around. Serious inquiries only and NO chicks or chicks with Dix. Males only and you must be apart of the Navy with proof of ticket purchase!
LMFAOOOOO. Rihanna is that you??! Slay! Can’t wait for #R8pe
WHATS YOUR FACETIME ID?
What about eminem fans?
Lmao wow..you Rihanna fans are sad..lol
Lmfao! That Gaga effect!
I’m not a Kardashian Stan by any stretch of the imagination but Kim is right. For the past couple Weeks Adrienne had been on the blogs because of her association with Rob. If you really don’t want to be linked to it then stop talking about it. Stop telling the story about the fake email you sent to him, stop leaking stories about having the tat removed etc. This relationship was 5 years ago and she’s been with someone else. Why still discuss it. Sorry honey but the Kardashians are getting you press and you’re capitalizing on it
The same way Kim used Ray J and Paris Hilton’s names to get famous. So Kim can have several.
No one is disputing that however Adrienne says the association hurt her career well stop talking about it then. Kim can do an interview without Ray J or Paris name coming up. This isn’t really about what Kim has or hasn’t done. If Adrienne wants to disassociate herself and move on then stop talking about it. Period.
But why were rob and Kim mad when rita ora paid them dust? That was a kii.
The fact that Rita Whora can pay anyone dust says alot about your status. lol
I think rita will be big in 5 years. She’s starting with that tca performance lol.
Ugh why didn’t Lana sing f’d my way to the top at Kim and Kanyes wedding?!?!?!
SHE PROBABLY WANTED TO HERPAR SONGS THAT DONT RELATE TO HER
HEAR*
LOL I STILL CAN’T GET OVER THE FACT THAT SHE WORE A WHITE WEDDING DRESS LMAO.
THE ONLY REASON WHY KIM IS MARRIED TO KANYE IS BECAUSE HE IS AN A LISTER THAT WORKED HARD TO GET WHERE HE IS TODAY, HE IS VERY CONNECTED AND FRIENDS WITH ALOT OF A LISTERS KIM IS NOTHING BUT F LIST TRASH SHE IS HOPING THIS WILL BOOST HER SAD EXCUSE FOR A CAREER
NOT EVEN BEYONCE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS TRASH
NOBODY WILL EVER RESPECT THIS HO SO SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HER PLACE
Is Kanye a A lister tho? Don’t fall for his ego, he’s not on that Jay Z level and is pretty much a clown. He made a career by running his mouth, his music is dope, but only in that hip hop genre, he’s nothing outside of that genre, no matter how much he think he is.
But if katy perry is an a lister, so is Kanye.
I was screaming the other day when I saw on cnn that Kim tells the paparazzi where she’s gonna be + she gets a percentage of what they make. The ultimate attention seeking leech.
SAD THING IS SHE REALLY DOES THAT
ANYTHING TO REMAIN IN THE SPOTLIGHT
EVEN HER ANNOYING SISTER KOURTNEY GETTING PREGNANT JUST SO SHE CAN REMAIN IN CHEAP GOSSIP TABLOIDS YUCK
Kim can sit her wh0rish ass down. Granted, I understand defending your blood, but her accusing someone of using another celebrity’s name to become famous is the a case of the s*** calling the tramp a w****. She clearly seems to forget that she got her start by riding Paris Hilton’s name, among other things. And it’s not like Adrienne lied; Rob Kardashian is a dirtbag that cheated on her. That’s just facts.
LOL K** SLUTDASHIAN ACCUSING SOMEBODY OF MEDIA WH0RING? LMAO H0. SIT. DOWN.
I wouldn’t want to be associated with the kardashian brand either to be perfectly honest. Beside the two younger girls because I refuse to come for kids, they are attention seeking, money grubbing trash. Even Khloe who I used to think was the most genuine is trash too. So I have no sympathy for her or her brother when people talk about them because this is literally what you asked for! This is the reason you have a career, you don’t actually do anything! Cry me a river.
To play devil’s advocate, The Kardashian’s do have a successful clothing line with a number of stores and endorsement deals. Yea Kim f***** Ray J, but we’ve all done things we are not proud of and we move on. I think it sucks that she must be shamed for the rest of her life while Ray J sits pretty, as far as the sextape backlash is concerned. And no matter what anyone says, the Kardashian’s have millions of fans and they are an aspirational lot, not to be confused with inspirational. Let the b**** off the cross already.
I don’t like the Kardashians but let’s speak the truth they do back it up with successful sh*t they been doing. Some of y’all keep bashing kim but you guys might be the worst. Only God knows what you guys do behind closed door. As for that stupid 30yr Adrienne she need to STFU and Let It Go. Nobody forced her to get those tat or ruined her career. She should stop talking about the kardashians and move on. You guys forgot the kardashians has millions of fans too. I dislike ppl who won’t talk s*** when it happen but will later bring it up when everybody has forgotten. That sh*t happened 5yrs ago while talk about it if the kardashians are bad influenced to you?
K** KarTRASHian !
