1. Kim Kardashian says her COVID diagnosis was unrelated to private island birthday party

Kim Kardashian would like to clarify that although she and her kids caught COVID-19 after she threw her 40th birthday party on a private island, the two events are entirely unrelated. The latest episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians revealed that Kardashian and her kids contracted COVID-19 last year, and BuzzFeed News subsequently reported that she seems to have tested positive "roughly 10 days after returning home" from her controversial trip. Kardashian responded directly to BuzzFeed's article on Twitter, calling any suggestion that she got COVID-19 from the party "false." She then threw her son, Saint, under the bus, claiming he was "the first to have it in our family and he caught it from school from another student who tested positive first" and that "he coughed on me while caring for him."
