seven methods of killing kylie jenner|
seven methods of killing kylie jenner had a sold-out extended season earlier this year. This show took Sydney by storm, and after standing ovations every night, a slew of 5-star glowing reviews, and calls to bring it back, we are overjoyed to announce its return season.
This duo is serving the tea hot ☕🔥 and keeping receipts. PERIODT.
Forbes Magazine claims Kylie Jenner’s a “self-made billionaire” and Cleo isn’t having a bar of it. She’s got a lot to say and on the internet, actions don’t always speak louder than words…
“Look it’s two tweets that helped me vent my frustrations. It’s really not that deep…”
As URL beef brings up IRL tensions, Cleo and Kara have more issues than getting #blocked will solve. If Black Twitter hasn’t snatched your edges yet, these two bawss-babes surely will.
Written by award-winning British playwright Jasmine Lee-Jones, seven methods of killing kylie jenner is a deep dive into the murky waters of colourism and the commodification of Black women.
