What’s the Snark on Corey Gamble?

21:21Your home design should feel like you. And if it doesn't, it's not because you have bad taste. It might just be a budget problem. Well, Wayfair fixes that. This is my sixth apartment in 12 years in New York City, which is crazy to think about. So when you move that much, you become less and less enthusiastic about spending money on new pieces. Of course, I still want my apartment to feel chic and elevated, but knowing it's not my forever home makes it hard to want to splurge. That's why I've turned to Wayfair for home upgrades for over a decade now. I'm obsessed with my latest purchase. It sounds kind of silly, but we were previously throwing our laundry in an open laundry bin that just ended up looking messy and cheap in the corner of our bedroom.

21:57It became an absolute eyesore. So I searched for closed wicker laundry bins on Wafer that can hide the mess and add like a chic beachy touch to our bedroom. And I found the perfect one for under$100. It seriously was such an upgrade to our bedroom aesthetically and functionally. It's hard to even describe it or put it into words. And it's little purchases like that that can make all the difference in your space. Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

22:32Nothing makes you appreciate good bedding more than a hot summer night, especially when your air conditioning is broken like ours was recently. I don't want to talk about it. Having something that's lightweight, breathable, cool, and easy to sleep in, no matter how hot it gets, is so freaking important. That's why I love Quince. It's a night go-to for bedding for so long now, with high-quality materials like 100 % European linen and organic cotton. You can literally feel the difference. I love waking up not sweaty. Quince has everything you need to make your bed feel cooler, lighter, and more comfortable for summer.

23:02From breathable sheets to linen, shams, and duvet covers in soft, seasonal colors, relaxed stripes, and timeless neutrals. My absolute favorite is their 100 % organic cotton percale sheets and duvet cover. The material is so crisp and comfy and even has a cooling effect, which is obviously perfect for those hot summer nights. I also love the look of it. It's a soft gray gingham and just has this classic look that instantly elevates our bedroom. And I love knowing that we're sleeping on 100 % cotton and not some cheap polyester blend. I also love their mulberry silk pillowcases and eye masks. They help keep your hair smooth and skin hydrated overnight because they don't absorb your natural oils like other materials do.

Well, now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for$15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made$15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required.

25:59$15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra.

26:00Christy Noel:Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms. So let's talk about the Blac Chyna lawsuit. Did you ever watch, Soph, the show with Rob and Blac Chyna on E? Oh my God. I don't think I did, which is crazy because I watched all of the Kardashian spinoffs around this time. So I don't know why I never dabbled. Did you watch it? No, but I feel as if it had such a dark cloud over it because it had such a short stint. So it probably didn't get as much publicity because there was so much drama surrounding the show. Yeah, exactly. And interestingly enough, Cora Gamble was kind of inserted in a lot of the testimony that occurred thereafter.

26:40Christy Noel:So if you guys don't remember, in 2022, Blac Chyna sued the Kardashians and Corey took the stand as a witness. And Blac Chyna accused the family of derailing her reality TV career. She alleged defamation and intentional reference with her contract at the E! Network. Interference, sorry. Yes, interference, yeah. Remember when Rob posted new pics of Angela slash Blac Chyna and was claiming that she was using drugs? Oh my god, yeah. That was the incident that ultimately got her show with E! canceled and which subsequently led to her lawsuit, which she was saying like damages and loss of income because of this and because of this defamation that Rob put on her.

27:21Christy Noel:Corey testified about one of the incidences he witnessed in December of 2016 when Blac Chyna allegedly threw a chair at Rob's car during a fight that they were having. He had previously claimed, Corey had previously claimed that he had seen Blac Chyna repeatedly attack Rob with her fists. But in the new testimony, he added that she actually attacked Rob with a metal rod or a cord. So China's attorneys questioned Corey as to why the details of his story kept changing. But either way, Corey said that China definitely attacked Rob. And during his testimony, Corey told the jury that he drove around to the couple's house in the morning one day, and he said that upon arrival, Blac Chyna had something like a rod in her hand.

28:01Christy Noel:He said that she dropped the object that was apparently two to three feet long when she saw Corey, grabbed a phone cord that was on the floor, and then whipped the cord at Rob. Corey said that when Chyna allegedly started to hit Rob, that's when he had to interfere and get between the two of them. Corey says that I was really scared and worried. Excuse me. I was really worried about Rob. And Rob looked very scared. Corey Gamble claimed that he saw red marks around Rob's neck area. His ears and neck were really red. And it just shows he's very intimately involved in family dynamics and these domestic violence.

28:36Christy Noel:Like he's just always showing up at literally the scene of a crime. Yeah. He's like always there during their darkest moments. Yes. and he speaking of domestic violence, Corey has some domestic violence and restraining order claims made against him from his ex-girlfriend Cherie Buchanan. So Cherie filed a restraining order against Corey in 2010 and this came to light when Chris started dating him four years later in 2014 and if you're unfamiliar with Cherie like I was, she's a reality TV star and She was on Atlanta Exes, which was a show on VH1. And Cherie and Corey started dating for around three years prior to him dating Chris.

29:18Christy Noel:And in the legal filing that Cherie put against Corey, she alleged him of stalking, harassment, being physically aggressive. She alleged that Corey would show up to her house unannounced and pop up randomly other places that she would frequently go to. She said that he would follow her to her car. It's low-key giving Colton Underwood. She said in a reporting, a documented reporting, quote, he followed me in my car, showed up at places that I'm at, calls my phone repeatedly and text me nonstop until I answer. He has grabbed me, left me bruises on my arms and legs. He has called OnStar to find out my vehicle location.

29:50Christy Noel:And if you guys are unfamiliar with OnStar, it's kind of like a Life 360 before the vehicle. It's like an emergency system that provides features like automatic crash response, emergency responses, stolen vehicle assistance, etc. And she said that it got so bad that she had to change the locks in her home, but Corey managed to still get inside. That's terrifying. Terrifying. And she says she was even more freaked out because she claimed that he owned a handgun, which left her even more unsettled, reasonably so. Corey Gamble was ordered by court to stay at least 100 yards away from her sons, Ray, who was 20, Balin, 16, and her daughter, Jade, who was 12.

30:29Christy Noel:So not only did she feel he was a danger to herself, but also her three children. Of course, when the media was asking Chris for her comment on the allegations against Corey by Cherie, Chris was defending her man. She said that Cherie was just looking for her for 15 minutes of fame and relevance. And then she said, Corey already told me about these allegations and I already knew about this incident before all these news sources started reporting on it. Oh my God. And Cherie also warned Chris that Corey will do whatever it takes to get power and money. Corey, of course, said the allegations were untrue and that she resurrected the story only to make money from selling it to the tabloids.

31:05Christy Noel:And the restraining order was temporary and it was later dismissed because both parties didn't show up for a follow-up court hearing. But in any case, the fact that a temporary restraining order was even granted in the first place shows that there's some validity to these claims that Sheree was making, right? Oh, 100%. It reminds me of the Colton Underwood scam of him putting the tracking device on her car. And if you guys didn't catch it, we did a Colton Underwood episode. Sophie walked us through. It's super interesting because we go into the lengths at which Colton stalked and harassed Cassie.

31:36Christy Noel:And she was granted a TRO because these claims were legitimate. And she was genuinely scared for her safety at the time. And this just shows me like the courts aren't just giving temporary restraining orders left, right and center to my understanding of the court system. There has to be true claims that they feel to be true. From my understanding of the court system, they're actually very hard to get restraining orders, which is obviously very controversial because women that are stalked are often not believed by the court system. Yeah, they're shooed away like, sorry. Yeah, exactly. So for her to actually be granted one means that this is true, allegedly.

32:12Christy Noel:Yeah. Everything in this episode is alleged, by the way. Yeah, and we're going to get into a lot of kind of, frankly, scary and unsettling allegations. Again, alleged, alleged, alleged. But when Corey, his relationship with Kris Jenner, obviously, as Sophie mentioned up top, he's fighting a lot of speculation in the tabloids that he's using Kris for her money, quite frankly. And in 2014, an insider told Hollywood Life that Corey, quote, doesn't pay for anything. Kris is footing everything like a true boss and sugar mama, and she loves doing so. and remembering Kim's SNL monologue when she joked, but the one thing I'm really proud of is that no one could ever call me a gold digger.

32:49Christy Noel:Honestly, I'm not sure how you even become one. So I asked my mom's boyfriend, Corey, that was actually so funny. That was so funny. I remember her SNL monologue was actually hilarious. Obviously she didn't write it, but. It was so fucking funny. Another source told people that their relationship is quote, more business than romantic and Chris is basically his sugar mama. So. You know what? I love that they're subverting gender norms, you know? No, low-key, me too. I'm like, listen, Chris is such a powerhouse, has so much money and wealth. It might just make her feel good to assert her role in every element of her life, including her relationship.

33:25Christy Noel:Like, maybe she likes asserting dominance in her romantic relationships, and good for her. Yeah, she just wants a hot young thing around. Yeah. So, you know, we can't hate on Chris for that. We're more hating on Corey for taking advantage of an older woman. Is this elder abuse? No. No, I don't think that he's taking advantage of her. I think that she knows exactly what she's doing. Yeah. And I think that, again, he is just playing the game. Like a lot of sugar babies do. And it works for them. I don't think that there's elder abuse. I know. I'm like, Jordan, check how old Kris Jenner is. But here, I can Google it really fast.

34:05Kris Jenner, age 69. She turned 70 this year. Wow. She turned 70 this year. She looks I mean, she looks good. I don't know if you saw just a side note that Kim just launched Nike Skims collab and him and Chloe and Chris were all in New York. They also were on Jimmy Fallon. Kim was on Jimmy Fallon. Chris and Chloe were backstage and there were just some unedited shots of Chris. I feel like we overhyped her facelift a little bit.

34:33Christy Noel:Yeah, everything that they post on social media and any kind of pop photos you see them, You have to remember that the Kardashians are so intertwined with the paps that anything that's shown is typically signed off by them. Heavily filtered. Yes. And that's how they were able to attain so much popularity and fame was because they were kind of the first of their kind to lean into the paparazzi and use the paps equally. Like it was a mutually beneficial relationship. So anything you see of Chris that's on pap photos, you have to take with a grain of salt. But I love that Nike or whatever released some un-airbrushed photos or video footage that shows her real face.

35:10Christy Noel:Because sometimes I feel like shit watching their stuff. I'm like, why doesn't my skin look like that? Oh, how they don't have the labial folds, whatever it's called. Every time I look at their photos and they don't have these lines. Yeah, the marionette lines. Yeah, I'm like, wait, our marionette lines are these. I'm talking about the ones that are literally just normal lines that you have. Yeah. the naso let me naso naso naso labial naso naso labial folds they do not have them in their airbrush pictures and so that super super super airbrush face tuned it's not even face tuned like they are using like fucking apps that we've never that we can't afford and hiring people to edit their photos but that picture of her face left that everyone's like oh my god she looks 12 and it's like yeah because they blurred out every single pore and then you see an actual photo of her and she she looks her age yeah i posted a video of kylie on the red carpet to our snark bait group chat and her skin looked so textured and normal and also could have been the lighting too but it just feels so good when you see on airbrushed video footage of them because on the kardashians on hulu it's so airbrushed the lenses it's like a paris filter 24 7 so just take everything you guys see from the kardashians with the grain of salt because it's not necessarily portraying real life but speaking of the kardashians they have a few documented clashes that kory has had with the girls the kardener clan so in 2019 if you remember kory was arguing with kourtney and scott about disciplining their kids particularly penelope and the storyline goes that penelope scratched her nanny and kory told kora and scott at dinner that if penelope had ever scratched him.

36:48Christy Noel:He would give her a whooping on the bum. And Scott exploded at Corey and yelled at him. He's like, what did you just say? You're going to whip my child? And Corey's like, yes, I would. That's absolutely what I would do. And Courtney is infuriated as well as Scott. And Courtney tells Chris and Corey at the dinner table that Corey would never be allowed alone with her children. And viewers and critics went after Corey on social media after this episode of The Kardashians aired. And Corey later kind of apologized and said what he said was wrong and wouldn't actually harm Penelope. And that's just how he was raised.

37:20Christy Noel:But it was kind of one of those rare moments, along with the Kendall and Kylie car fight that we see of Corey really butting heads with the girls. What did you make of this, by the way, when Corey said, I'm going to whoop her ass? I mean, that's not his place. It just isn't. I also know that everyone has different parenting styles. And often grandparents of grandkids will be like, this isn't how we raised our kids. We actually discipline them because of a very popular millennial or modern, or even I know Courtney is Gen X, a very, and it's funny actually, because Courtney and Corey are basically the same age.

37:56So there really isn't a generational difference there, but a very popular millennial parenting. So I was like gentle parenting. That is very, not a ton of discipline. And that's how it works for some people. And then grandparents are like back in my day, we spent them.

38:11Christy Noel:Yeah. So it's just like a generational difference but then again cory is the same age as courtney that's actually a very good point because we can't even blame it on generational yeah the ways in which people are raised because they are the same age basically in 2020 there was a crazy fight one of the craziest fights i think we've ever seen besides courtney and kim getting into it at chloe's house my baby is sleeping um in 2020 there was a fight with Kendall and Kylie and Corey got into the middle of it. They originally were all the entire car gender clan plus Corey were in Palm Springs. I think at Chris's house and Kendall and Kylie already had some preexisting tension earlier that night because they were fighting over which clothes who was going to wear which clothes and Kendall was pissed because she was promised that she was going to get to wear this outfit that one of the older sisters put together.

38:59Christy Noel:But Kylie ended up wearing it instead and they later go on to dinner and it's clear that all like half of the party wants to go out to the club to like another drag show, I think. And Kendall wanted to head back home to the city. And Kendall and Kylie are in the car with Corey. Kendall wants to go home. And she asks Kylie, can your driver take me home? And Kylie said, I never said I would take you back home to Calabasas from Palm Springs. And that's when an argument started to ensue. And we don't actually see the argument. We see the other car, which includes the older sisters plus Chris, getting a phone call from Kendall.

39:35Christy Noel:And you can hear them berating one another. And you can hear Corey in the background. And you hear Kylie screaming, Kendall, shut up. No one promised to take you home. Why would I drive you over the hill? And then you hear Kendall screaming, oh, my God, why would you jab your heel into my neck? And Kylie said, that's because you slapped me first. And Kendall is clearly very distraught on this phone call. And she's calling, I think, Chloe. and she's saying that Kendall claimed that Corey had told her to get into another car. And when she refused, he said, fuck you. This was crazy. I rewatched this clip on TikTok ahead of this episode.

40:10Christy Noel:Watching it back a couple of years later, Corey was so out of line. Kendall fucking sucks. Don't get me wrong. I can't stand her. And I heard she's probably the rudest out of all the sisters. Corey was out of line for using profanity against Kendall. That was completely - Oh, for sure. I would be literally traumatized if that were me, if I were Kendall. Like, I did not like what I was seeing at all. Oh, for sure. He was definitely out of line. And this is what I was referring to at the top of the episode when I said that there was allegedly drugs involved this night. That Kendall was tired, wanted to go home.

40:45Meanwhile, Kylie and Corey were dabbling in drugs and wanted to stay out and had more energy. And clearly there was some aggression happening with the whole group. And yeah, it's just, I'm also curious, what is over the hill? Every time I watch this clip, I'm like, what hill are they referring to? Because they're talking about going from Palm Springs to Calabasas. I know it's not that important, but I keep wondering this.

41:10Christy Noel:Yeah, it's when you go to Palm Springs, you have to go through kind of this like hilly, deserty type of area when it's just there's no ounce of civilization until you cross the hill. So that but it's far. I mean, Palm Springs to LA is not close. So I get why Kylie was like, what the heck? No. Yeah. But in any case, it doesn't warrant the kind of reaction that Corey and Corey particularly. I'm not even going to talk about Kylie because sisters fight and me and my sister have gotten into explosion of arguments. Like, this is what sisters do. It's out of line for someone's for your mother's boyfriend or significant other or whatever to get in the middle.

41:42Christy Noel:Like that is completely, completely out of line. And later in the episode, Corey attempted to extend an olive branch to Kendall in the form of NBA tickets. And this is when I knew I'm like, this is Corey is now doubling down on him being fucked up. So Corey asks Kendall, oh, here's some NBA tickets. I'm sorry for what happened. But the conversation swiftly descended into another argument between himself and Kendall after he refused to apologize to Kendall. And Kendall said Corey should have been the adult in that situation in Palm Springs that he should not have said fuck you to her. And they start arguing.

42:13Christy Noel:And on the phone, it's filmed on keeping up. Corey says, let me tell you one thing. Kendall, you've been a rude person for years. You're an asshole when you feel like it. You get riled up for no reason. And Kendall goes, wait, what did you call me now? And he goes, no, no, no, no, no, no. Kendall, I'm about to tell you the truth about how you are. You don't apologize for nothing. You get into one thing. Now you got something to run and harp on. Like he's now telling Kendall she's again out of line. To talk to your significant other's children like that. Kendall, I think at this point was like, whatever, mid-20s.

42:45Christy Noel:Doesn't matter how old you are. She could be a 45-year-old woman. You do not talk to anyone's child like that. Yeah, not okay. I was, oh my God, this made me so uncomfortable, genuinely. Yeah, absolutely. So Kanye has had a lot of allegations about Corey Gamble, being that he was so close to the family because he was married to Kim. So in February of 2022, Kanye becomes estranged from Kim. And Corey goes on this rant on IG, as he often does. And he implied that the family doesn't want Corey around. and it's a lot of gibberish but he basically says god has a plan to remove the godless cory needed to never be here anyway and i think he's a nice person not a great person a nice person who used to be around puff's family this is when they did the allegations started to come around by the way he then got around justin bieber and that's when chris got divorced he slid in kanye is saying some pretty crazy allegations against cory he says that cory has some connection to dupont or some organization in that pedigree, which has its own scandals.

43:44Christy Noel:So DuPont, if you guys are curious, is an American multinational chemical company first formed in 1802 by a French-American chemist and industrialist. I'm not even going to try to say his name because it's very confusing and very French, but the company played a major role in the development of the U.S. state of Delaware and first arose as a major supplier of gunpowder. The company knowingly poisoned West Virginia's water supply with toxic chemicals, and they settled in a class action lawsuit for$671 million in 2017. But Kanye was basically hinting that Corey's a part of some secret society or corporate espionage.

44:18Christy Noel:What? That's so scary. It's really scary. But honestly, there's so many ways in which Corey's involved in so many high-powered players, whether it be in Hollywood and corporate America. So let's keep going on this. The sisters on Keeping Up discussed a text that Kanye West had sent to Corey on the show, questioning again, why does the family not know anything about Corey's upbringing or his family? So Kim says, quote, Kanye texts Corey something along the lines of, look, we don't know you. We've never met any of your family members. Of course, we've all felt that way and thought that. But for Kanye to just so bluntly say that to him, I feel like that was the wrong choice to make at that time.

44:59Christy Noel:And Khloe kind of nods this and she goes, Kanye's delivery wasn't great, but the essence of what he said is true. Corey does tend to be pretty secretive, and that does have me pretty guarded. And Khloe went on to say he isn't receptive to really opening up to the family. And there's a clip on Keeping Up when Khloe's asking him so many questions. And they're in the car, and she's like, let's play 20 questions, Khloe. Where'd you grow up? He's like, Atlanta, Georgia. What do you do for a living? And he just says, quote, pretty much I make shit happen in the music industry. That's quite vague. You know what that reminds me of?

45:31I can't remember. Did you watch The White Lotus this past season? Of course. You know how Walter Goggins' character, like when he's asked what he does for a living, he goes, you know, this and that. Yeah, some of this, some of that.

45:44Christy Noel:Yes, that is exactly what it gives me as well. When people want to keep you at arm's length and want you to stay, they want you close, but not too close to where you can start asking even more questions. That's what Corey Gamble is absolutely giving. This episode is brought to you by Google Chrome. You think you know a browser, but Gemini and Chrome? That's new.

So moving on to just the rumors about Corey Gamble, the rumors about Corey Gamble being part of some higher power, higher level of influence doesn't stop because he basically has allegations of being a Hollywood fixer.

48:09Christy Noel:So online, people have theories that Corey is a fixer slash handler that was planted in the Kardashian circle, and he's not even in a real relationship with Kris. And people also think he was at one point a fixer for Bieber's team and other celebrities. So is he paid to be there? And I did a little bit of digging. The idea of a Hollywood fixer is actually not outside the realm of possibility. There has been an instance whereby a man named by the name of Anthony Pelicano, who if you guys have not watched the Netflix series, it's called Sin Eater, The Crimes of Anthony Pelicano. It's on Netflix.

48:42Christy Noel:It gives you a real view of the lengths Hollywood would go to protect their biggest cash cows. obviously the Kardashians. And if you're unfamiliar with Anthony Pelicano, he was hired as a high profile Hollywood fixer. And his clients included several prominent people like Chris Rock, Courtney Love, Tom Cruise, Kevin Costner. By the way, this guy could be his whole other episode probably behind a paywall. But on Patreon, patreon.com slash snarkbait pod. We do episodes every Wednesday if you're curious. But in 1992, Anthony Pelicano was hired by Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign to discredit a woman named Jennifer Flowers after she claimed to have an affair with Bill Clinton.

49:20Christy Noel:Anthony was later hired to investigate Monica Lewinsky after her affair with Clinton. In 1993, Anthony was hired by Michael Jackson to investigate the family who accused Michael Jackson of child molestation. And despite being paid a$2 million fee and a Mercedes for his work, he would later drop Jackson as a client saying, quote, I quit because I found out some truths, he did something far worse to young boys than molest them. Anthony Pelicano was also charged with receiving unlawfully accessed confidential records on celebrities and public figures from members of the LAPD and Beverly Hills Police Department.

49:56Christy Noel:For example, prosecutors alleged that Pelicano tapped the phones of Sylvester Stallone. So with all these things about Anthony Pelicano that just happened recently in like the last 20 years, it's not that that far off base, that Corey, too, would handle all the hiring, firing management of the Kardashian brand. And that he, perhaps people think that he may have had an even heavier role after Kim's Paris incident. Once all that unraveled, maybe to protect the family, he had an even heavier role. And that was just two years into his relationship with Kris, by the way. I totally believe the idea that they would have a fixer.

50:33I completely believe that. And also, if you told me that Kris Jenner murdered multiple people or that Corey murdered multiple people on behalf of Kris, like, I would believe you.

50:43Christy Noel:Oh, I mean, look, look what happened with Diddy. We know that Diddy has killed people. People have come forward and said the LAPD was in on it. They came through and Diddy paid them off. I mean, Diddy, for God's sake, he went to court in the 90s for shooting someone at a club and came off scot-free. And everyone forgets about it, that Jennifer Lopez was the one that brought the gun into the club. This is all reported, by the way. He put the guy into jail for a crime that Diddy himself committed. It's rumored that Diddy's behind the death of Tupac. Like all this stuff has legs to it when things like Epstein and Diddy come out when you realize, holy shit, the people that held the most power were part of everything all along.

51:19Christy Noel:So I think it's not outside the realm of possibility that Corey is playing a very heavy hand in the elite of Hollywood that is the Kardashians. And interestingly enough, Ariana Grande apparently said at one point, I couldn't find this interview. This is just what I came upon on Reddit. So take this with a grain of salt. But I guess in an interview that has circulated in 2014, Ariana Grande says that Corey Gamble was the head of crisis management in her PR team between the years of 2013 to 2014. And he essentially would help stop private leaks that would tarnish someone's reputation. Wow. So let's talk about his intertwinement with Diddy, Corey's intertwinement with Diddy.

51:56Christy Noel:So there has been a lot of unsubstantiated claims that he's maybe like a cousin of Diddy. But again, Corey's secrecy around his background and family gives more conspiracy theorists ammunition that this could very well be a viable theory. Amidst Diddy's allegations and sexual assault claims in 2023, conspiracy theories arose about Corey being connected to Diddy's disgusting behavior. And Spencer Pratt, who doesn't give a fuck what he says online, he went on Heather McDonald's podcast that Corey, quote, fled the country after Diddy's home was raided by federal agents in a sex trafficking investigation.

52:29Christy Noel:He said, quote, on the podcast, the new conspiracy on TikTok is, which I'm sure it'll end this week, but is that Kris fled the country and she has not been around since Diddy's house was raided. Supposedly, her and Corey are on these tapes. This is all alleged. It's what TikTok is saying. Again. I don't think that's impossible at all. Yeah, I don't think that's out of the realm of possibility. Nope. People even cite Corey's been to Diddy's parties, but like so has everyone in Hollywood. Yeah. Yeah. What is really bizarre is that in December 2020, Corey thanked Diddy in a tribute post to Kim Porter following her death.

53:07Christy Noel:It is written, happy birthday, Kim Porter. I will always continue to thank you for all you and Diddy did for my life, dot, dot, dot, more love with the heart and the dove emojis. Which is weird. Like, okay, so you're very familiar with Kim Porter. So clearly if you were very familiar with Kim Porter, you are very familiar with Diddy. Yeah. And we discussed the fact that Kim Porter's death was very mysterious, I guess. Like she officially died of pneumonia. Yes. But the odds of her dying of pneumonia and then also Brittany Murphy dying of pneumonia, both very young, both the significant others or ex-significant other in Ashton Kutcher's case of two best friends, Diddy and Ashton Kutcher.

53:52the odds of both of them dying that young of pneumonia is very very very very very slim

53:57Christy Noel:right we cover basically adjacent to what we're talking about here on the britney murphy episode on patreon and it literally ran a chill down my spine researching all this saying oh my god the amount of parallels between the diddy the ashton the britney the kim the cory like all of it is intertwined in some way the kanye the britney and we'll get into this in just a second Okay. So let's talk about Corey and his relationship with perhaps Britney Spears. This is something that blew my mind. Do you know what I'm about to talk about, Sophie? Yes, I do actually. Okay. So there's rumors that Corey has made millions off of Britney Spears.

54:38Christy Noel:Again, all alleged, everything I'm saying. So what do we know for sure? Britney's former business management firm that you guys are all probably pretty familiar at this point is called TriStar Sports and Entertainment Group. And it's led by a woman named Lou Taylor, who is heavily scrutinized during the conservatorship saga of Britney Spears. And if you're familiar at all with the Free Britney movement, everyone, the girls, the gays, the days, fucking hate Lou Taylor. Reasonably so, because people say that she's kind of the reason why Britney became the way she is. She's the reason why she was in a conservatorship for as long as she was.

55:09Christy Noel:But interestingly enough, TriStar previously had the Kardashians and Jenners as clients. And Britney's lawyer, Matthew Rosengart claimed that TriStar's celebrity client list included members of the Kardashian family and Travis Scott, and they were built off the back of Britney Spears. His quote, he said, they were built off the back of Britney Spears as TriStar wasn't thriving financially until Taylor took full control over Britney's estate. Lou Taylor finally stepped down from Britney's estate in 2020, claiming she was receiving too many death threats from fans. It's also worth pointing out that Corey was not named in any of these contracts.

55:43Christy Noel:However, However, Diddy was also a client of TriStar. So we are 100 % going to do a deep dive on Patreon about the dark connections of Britney and the Kardashians. But just to double click on the darkness that is Lou Taylor and her influence within Hollywood, I came across this woman's substack. Her name is Emily Hagen. Emily with an IE at the end. Talking about Lou and Britney's relationship, which I found to be absolutely fascinating. So Britney Spears' fan accounts created social media accounts dedicated to exposing Lou's shady business dealings and practices at the expense of Britney's well-being.

56:13Christy Noel:And fans accused Lou of trafficking, extortion, embezzlement, even putting Britney through electroshock therapy, medicating her with lithium, which Britney Spears did allege, coming from her own mouth, that her father would put her through copious amounts of lithium to basically control her during her conservatorship. Fans also theorized that it was actually Lou Taylor that planted the idea into Jamie Spears' head to conserve Britney back in 2007 when she had her breakdown. Interestingly enough, Courtney Love also says Lou Taylor tried to take control of her estate in 2010. Courtney Love also claimed that Lou Taylor wanted control of Kurt Cobain's name and likeness and that the publishing rights to sell Nirvana's discography was Lou Taylor's idea.

56:55Christy Noel:And I feel like when Courtney Love talks, we need to listen because, do you remember? Do you want to speak about that? About that interview or that clip that she got about Harvey? Wait, which clip? But basically, Natasha Leggero, this comedian, was interviewing Courtney Love on the red carpet. And she goes, Courtney, Courtney, any advice to a young girl moving to Hollywood? And Courtney Love goes, this is in 2005, by the way, like 15 years ahead. Oh, yeah. Decade ahead of Me Too. She goes, well, I'm going to get liable if I say it. If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party at the Four Seasons Hotel, don't go.

57:31Christy Noel:Yeah. When Courtney Love talks, we need to listen. So how is Diddy involved in all this? Like, why do we care about Lou Taylor and Britney Spears as it pertains to Diddy? The finance manager and accountant at TriStar, her name is Robin Greenhill. She was referenced in many court documents. So this producer, Rodney Jones, also known as Lil Rod, he filed a civil suit against Diddy, alleging cash payment to sex workers. So in his civil lawsuit against Sean Diddy Combs, he contended that Diddy's misconduct was made possible through a network of associates, including Robin Greenhill, the accountant who would ensure the wiring funds transfer of or cash payments to sex workers.

58:08Christy Noel:So, yeah, this guy, this producer suing Diddy, he names TriStar employees Robin Greenhill in his documents. And as if it doesn't get any worse, during the Sean Combs versus United States federal trial, a Jane Doe confirmed that Lou Taylor was wiring her landlord directly$10 ,000 a month for her rent money. This Jane Doe alleges that this was an arrangement that was part of a love contract, an agreement that tied her body to Combs' demands. Oh, my God. All the expenses for Diddy's freak-offs were approved by Christina Coram, who we all know was Diddy's, like, right-hand woman. But who else was CC'd on all these expense approvals?

58:47Christy Noel:Robin Greenhill, the accountant at Tristar. So what does this all mean? Tristar was clearly well aware of the nefarious expenditures that Diddy and his, like, love team was racking up. And what else were they aware of, you may ask? Well, a lot. It's alleged that Robin Greenhill, so again, the accountant at TriStar, she was the one that controlled Britney's credit card and distributed to her her medications. And in the New York Times report in 2021, they described how a security firm was allegedly hired by TriStar, at Spears' expense, of course, to monitor her phone, record her in the bedroom, surveil the free Britney activist online who sought to expose the management company.

59:24Christy Noel:and Britney Spears even wrote this whole long Instagram caption about TriStar. Do you want to read it? Oh, poor Britney. She wrote a week before they sent me away to that fucking place. TriStar invited me to their offices. The swanky suited up bitches. So nice with their we are here to make you feel special. Thumbs up emoji. I had lunch with Lou Taylor and Robin Greenhill. They said, Britney, look at your picture on the wall with a huge black and white framed picture in the hall of their office. Kate Beckinsale was there too. They sucked up to me and said, and made me feel special, right? Ha. Those same bitches killed me a week later.

1:00:01My dad worshiped those two women and would have done anything they asked of him. I think they were trying to kill me. I still to this very day believe that's exactly what they were trying to do, but not a damn thing was wrong with me. And I didn't die. Nobody else would have lived through what they did to me. I lived through all of it. And I remember all of it. I will sue the shit out of TriStar. They got away with all of it. And I'm here to warn them every day of my precious life. Sucks that like she literally came out and said it. She did not mince words, but it sucks because Brittany will never be taken seriously.

1:00:31Yeah. Because everyone thinks she's crazy. And they they successfully made her look insane.

1:00:36Christy Noel:Her credibility is 100 % shot. But she's out here calling out the same people that were very involved in Diddy's activities. Yeah. They were right there at the scene. They were Diddy's accountants approving all of these expense reports that were coming in from Diddy's assistants, all the baby oil, everything. They were looking at every single expense and signing off on it. So Tristar, I think it goes without saying, if they're being talked about in these court documents, they are nefarious actors. They are huge players in Hollywood with some of the biggest clients to their name. And they worked with the Kardashians.

1:01:09Christy Noel:So the theory goes, like, how does this at all? How does Tristar, Britney, diddy tie into the Kardashians. So the theory goes, allegedly, large funds were taken from Britney at the hands of Lou Taylor slash Tristar and funneled into Kardashian businesses. This Reddit user named Saint Monkey said, apparently all of the various businesses owned by the Kargenners are money laundering machines, which Lou Taylor helps them operate by inflating their earnings and providing stolen money. The Kargenners have taken multiple loans out through Lou Taylor to finance various endeavors. And it's expected that some of this money they borrowed was stolen directly from Britney's estate.

1:01:42Christy Noel:And it's worth pointing out, there was a Forbes article that came out. People cite that there's a Forbes report that says Kim's net worth jumped by around$600 million, reportedly due to investments into skims. And this was around the same time that Britney's money went, quote unquote, missing. So Britney's conservatorship ended in November 2021. And just two months later, all of her money just seemingly disappeared. You always hear those things, like Britney doesn't have any money. Where did all the money go? And a Forbes article that I just talked about was published just two months later after her conservatorship ended.

1:02:13Christy Noel:And this article was published in January 2022. And the article writes, Kim Kardashian is$600 million richer after Shapewear brand skims hits a$3.2 billion valuation. I cannot tell you how much this infuriates me. I really need a hard-hitting investigative journalist to uncover this. I'm sure that people have tried to uncover this information and have been paid off by the fixer, Cory Gamble. This is just insane to me. And I think how many times is this going to happen in Hollywood where the most powerful people are getting away from this? Not only years, decades, Diddy was doing this. Again, he was literally on trial in the 90s for shooting someone.

1:03:00Christy Noel:Thankfully, this victim lived, but he had the most influence thereafter. He was bigger than ever after, in fact, after that attempted murder. How many times are we going to have to learn when the Jeffrey Epstein's or the Diddy's come out and we're just supposed to ignore the key players that are a part of this like ring that are companies like Tristar and Lou Taylor and Robin Greenhill. So all this speculation, of course, is still unverified and Tristar has not been found guilty of any illegal financial transfers. And it's worth pointing out that Corey also didn't join the Kardashian clan until 2014 after the Britney conservatorship was already established.

1:03:35Christy Noel:However, during the Free Britney movement, Corey overlapped with his relationships with both Chris and Diddy, like he was friends with both of them in and around the same time. So it made people think that he might know something behind the scenes as it pertains to Lou and Diddy and Britney. Chris allegedly also floated the idea with Lou Taylor's advice about a conservatorship for Kanye similar to Britney's. And people online say that maybe Corey is perhaps part of this web of insiders connected to Lou Taylor and works as an enforcer and handler. When you consider in 2018, Corey was allegedly at the scene of Kim Porter's death and he spoke with authorities.

1:04:08Christy Noel:Was he there to help manage or cover up what actually happened to Kim Porter? And he was there at the scene of the crime with Lou Taylor, Diddy, the Kardashians. They seem to all be one big network with Lou as the mastermind. And they had control over various celebrities like Britney Spears, Britney Murphy, Diddy, the Kardashians. All this is unverified, of course, but all the connections mean that Corey Gamble has to know something, has to. We cannot ignore all these players and all the time interlap with the key players, people that have now been on court and found, I guess Diddy wasn't really found guilty for most of these crimes, unfortunately, but it sucks that these people aren't being held or accountable.

1:04:53Christy Noel:TriStar. It's infuriating. It's genuinely infuriating. So dark, so fucked up. Oh my god. Just, you can only pray that these people get their comeuppance. Yeah, I know. It's, I feel like there's so much more we can cover. We're obviously out of time, but I think that there is more to the Brittany, Diddy, TriStar, Corey than we're even, we're just scratching the surface but oh absolutely I'm curious what you guys have to say about all this I know it's a lot I know it's really dark-sided there's it's sex it's money it's drugs it's it's just darkness all around there's no other way which way to swing it's control it's stealing money for all everyone's worth the fact that Bernie Spears has no money is devastating and the fact that it just fucking pisses me off.

1:05:47The whole bit about how Kim Kardashian's net worth shot up as soon as Britney Spears' fortune disappeared. It's like Britney is actually talented. Britney actually worked really, really, really hard. Not saying that Kim has never worked hard. Of course she has. But Britney is actually talented. Oh, it just fucking pisses me off.

1:06:09Christy Noel:Britney works at for her Vegas residency for years and years. And the fact that she hardly saw a penny of that because all the money was going to other people is apt, including perhaps maybe even the Kardashians. Yeah. All of this is just a ring of very specific players that have the most autonomy and control over everyone else. It's infuriating. I like will just pray for the day when, and again, all this is alleged, I will pray for the day when like Kris Jenner gets indicted. We've heard for years about how they have a church because churches don't get taxed by the government. So they collect all of this money tax free.

1:06:50Yes.

1:06:51Christy Noel:Don't pay taxes. Thank you for bringing up the church because a lot of people talk about it online, but it's never talked about in media like people, you know. Oh, my God. That will be such a beautiful day when these people get indicted and held accountable. Yeah, I agree. Because why should everyone else follow the rules? And then you see the Kardashians, these Hollywood power players, and not to be like, I don't know, I feel like there's such a fine line between like conspiracy and what actually is probably true. And I think that this stuff is, again, it's alleged, but it doesn't feel, it feels like it's actually rooted in reality.

1:07:37Christy Noel:Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, you look at all the timestamps and the dates and the key players and how they are associating with one another at key times. It becomes impossible to ignore. And actually, when I pay my taxes every year, I'm like, I have to pay my taxes. But these billionaires don't. Yeah. It all comes down to late stage capitalism and people that once you have a taste, you just want more and more and more. All this is rooted in greed. All of this. it's about money at the end of the day. And it doesn't matter who you take down or who you inject with, or I don't even know how you take lithium inject or whatever, what electroshock therapy you do to people, stripping people of their rights, their freedoms.

1:08:20Christy Noel:As long as you get a$600 million check at the end of the day, all is well. Oh my God. So fucking dark. Well, thank you, Christy, for walking us through this. Wow. It's a heavy one. Yeah, it's really dark.
