Addison Rae and Kourtney Kardashian spark controversy over bikini pictures
The recent series of photos featuring Rae and Kourtney, posted by the latter on July 4, flaunting their matching pink bikinis has sparked controversy and ignited public scrutiny. Despite the mesmerizing allure of the vibrant pink hues of the duo's bikinis and Kourtney proudly displaying her baby bump, some commenters questioned the unconventional nature of their friendship. The twenty-two-year age gap between the 44-year-old Kourtney and the 22-year-old TikTok sensation seems to perplex and intrigue netizens, leaving social media abuzz with speculation and debate.
Rae's infectious personality and undeniable talent have opened doors to several high-profile friendships, one of which being her intriguing relationship with the Kardashian clan. Amongst the Kardashian sisters, Addison's connection to Kourtney seems to hold a unique significance. However, not everyone understands or appreciates the depth of their bond.
'This is the most weirdest friendship'
After Kourtney posted the carousel of images to her Instagram, some users reacted negatively to their friendship. One wrote, "Oh god not Addison again. I thought she was gone lol," who thought the duo's friendship ended. Another wrote, "Why is a 44 year old friends with a 21 year old??? This is just weird to me." Many people think that an age gap of that size implies a power imbalance and that it is not appropriate for an older woman to be friends with a much younger woman. This is why people are so critical of the pairing. One more stated, "istg this is the most weirdest friendship," while the other wrote, "Addison wishes she was the daddy," poking fun at the duo's age difference.
