Guilty Pleasure: Our Love Affair with BlacRob

It seems like yesterday, for those of us familiar with the star lineups of strip clubs around Miami, that Angela “Blac Chyna” White was headlining Chyna’s Dollhouse at the King of Diamonds. It was a night where she was featured and fawned over as she worked the center stage. Fast forward six or so years and she’s been making headlines for reasons even more tantalizing than her skills on the pole.
In a whirlwind media storm over the course of a year and a half it seems the round the way girl originally from D.C. is now a household name. You can’t turn on the tv without hearing her name and it seems I’m not the only one reveling in her new found celebrity.
After only 3.5 months of dating Chyna would be sporting a gigantic rock on her ring finger and soon after carrying a life form in her stomach. I mean Chyna really stuck her landing like Gabby Douglas going for the gold.
Let’s take it back just a little to October 2014, oh how the freaks come out at night! Tyga is pictured dressed as Chuckie the sinister 80’s big screen doll and Kylie adorned herself in Bride of Chuckie attire.
Just like that, the internet exploded with a simultaneous HMMM and head tilt.
Was this just a case of friends matching for the playful holiday? Well, we dared not think it was anything more, after all the Jenner sister was just barely 17 at the time.
Well, we thought WRONG. So, so wrong.
We would later learn that essentially Tyga just wasn’t SHIT for the simple fact that he left the mother of his child for a teeny bopper. Fittingly enough Kylie in part was stricken with the “ain’t shits” seeing as she chose to kick it with her sister’s friend’s man.
Whew! There’s a mouthful!
Anywho, just when all had seemed lost, when it seemed those damned Kardashian-Jenner’s were going to win again, a move no one saw coming came tumbling into place. January 2016 Chyna made her presence not only known, but FELT when she and Rob released coy pictures of them snuggled up.
The reality family HAD to feel that. Everyone from the infantile to the elderly took a deep breath to brace themselves for the shit show that was sure to follow.
Turns out BlacRob carried on in a surprisingly normal manner. A little PDA here, several social media posts there. Most people believed, and still do, that Chyna was some conniving woman out for super sweet revenge at any costs. They were wrong. Chyna AND Rob were looking for revenge and you better believe it’s rolling right into summer sixteen!
Of course they work just fine together, after all, Rob was cast aside like a valueless trinket and Chyna could relate.
Who can’t relate to humiliation or being jilted? We’ve all wanted to see someone who’s wronged us sink their teeth into a slice of revenge we’ve just chilled especially for them. BlacRob is the twisted Cinderella story we can’t help but root for. With every relationship status, engagement ring, and baby announcement we endure it seems our own pettiness grows stronger equipping us with the wherewithal to strike back at those who try to one-up us. Every breaking headline in favor of BlacRob shows us that there is a silver lining no matter how temporary. And damn it, when life hands you lemons you make spiked lemonade!
