Tokyo Toni’s Holiday Gesture
To celebrate the holidays, Tokyo Toni went out of her way to help the needy. In one of the many touching clips that parade across the web, she was seen handing out meals to the needy from her car, thus coming to the aid of those who did not have food. However, Tokyo Toni gesture’s good intention turned into source of controversies shaded by Khloe Kardashian. What was aimed at bringing warmth during Christmas, the sense of goodwill from the recording, became a cause of much drama on the internet, as it was meant for the dominating craze of that period.
The turn of events became particularly “sharp” when Tokyo Toni, Blac Chyna’s mother, found herself in a public altercation with Khloe Kardashian. Blac Chyna, famous for being Rob Kardashian’s girlfriend, and Khloe Jenner-Kardashian brother brings in a new angle to the family. Khloe was all smile and glow when she told the people at her Thanksgiving Dinner about the event of their Thanksgiving and how they are so close to each other as a family during the Thanksgiving dinner.
Khloe, who never avoids confronting misunderstandings, offered an honest answer to the controversy in question. In a subsequent post, she set the record straight in her own words, explaining that she does not consider it ethical to turn acts of charity into opportunities for self advertisement. She expressed that she does find it fair to exploit people’s adversities for the sake of self promotion.
“I’m not knocking what anyone else chooses to show or keep to themselves. But personally, when people fall on hard times — I don’t feel it’s right to publicize that for my own personal pat on the back,” Khloe wrote, implying that such gestures should be made in private rather than for public praise.
Tokyo Toni Fires Back
Tokyo, feeling slighted by Khloe’s comment, was quick to respond. She voiced her displeasure, stating that she didn’t appreciate being critiqued for her public charity work. Tokyo’s reaction took an even more personal turn as she reminded the public of Khloe’s past on reality TV. Tokyo pointed out that back in 2007, Khloe had appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians with a homeless man, an event that she felt contradicted Khloe’s current stance on public charity. Tokyo’s reference to this past moment added fuel to the fire, reigniting old family tensions, she attempted to highlight a perceived inconsistency in Khloe’s views on helping others.
However, the drama initiated in this case is not just about the strengths and weaknesses of a helping hand, its extent of publicity and the public image of the recipient. Even though both Tokyo Toni and Khloe Kardashian have families which are well in the limelight, they handle their charitable matters quite differently. Khloe has been quite vocal about her views stating charity should be in the shadow, on the other hand Tokyo has recently come in the limelight for her good works. The confrontation of such values of two figures not only allows seeing their personal moralities but also provokes the discussion regarding the thirst for recognition in the provision of charity.
Khloe and Toni are not the first public figures to clash; as in the case of the latter, social networks give people the possibility to easily share their thoughts and feelings with nobody’s permission. Both women seek to expose their respective convictions, and the extent of their public feud is unknown at this point. One thing that’s apparent is that both of them are not reticent when they express their views and do not have second thoughts when their views are oppositional.
Revisiting the Past
Khloe Kardashian did not cause any drama, instead she posted a ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ message on the Kardashian family’s behalf, which was met with disdain from Tokyo Toni. In an effort to explain her row with Khloe over her auxiliary activities or the lack thereof, Tokyo got aggressive, telling everyone about how Khloe behaved when she hadn’t even done what she wanted to convey. For example, in this latter case, Tokyo did not bat an eyelid: she warned everyone that careless actions would still be punished, whatever the circumstances. This situation changed quite quickly since television-turned-reality star Tokyo relived what occurred years ago on American Pop TV series Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Tokyo was quick to remind Khloe of a significant moment from the past, one that took place during the early seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. In that episode, Khloe had invited a homeless man to stay at her house, an action that was heavily publicized at the time. Tokyo, clearly irritated, questioned the authenticity of Khloe’s current perspective on charity work. She bluntly asked, “Let’s not forget again that time you brought the old, homeless man to your house girl. Was that a movement? But it sounds like you said you don’t do that.” Tokyo’s words suggested that Khloe’s publicized act of kindness in the past wasn’t much different from the charity work she herself had done.
Tokyo’s comment aimed to draw attention to what she saw as a contradiction in Khloe’s narrative. By bringing up this past moment, she tried to challenge Khloe’s newfound stance on keeping charitable actions private. Tokyo was adamant in her belief that the Kardashian-Jenner family, and Khloe in particular, have been no strangers to publicizing acts of kindness, making her own gesture seem just as valid.
Bringing Up Personal Matters
Tokyo wasn’t finished with Khloe just yet. As the argument unfolded, Tokyo brought up a deeply personal issue involving her niece, Dream, Khloe’s niece as well. Tokyo claimed that she had been the one to provide Dream with legal papers that Khloe’s mother, Kris Jenner, had allegedly tried to take away from the family. Tokyo’s statement about the family feud over Dream’s inheritance added an even more emotional layer to the public spat.
“Dear Khloé, I’m the one that gave my daughter the papers that your mother tried to swipe our grandchild out of everything she could ever own,” Tokyo stated in a direct challenge to Khloe. This revelation, though not entirely new, was an attempt by Tokyo to remind Khloe of the family’s ongoing disputes over legal matters.
As the confrontation continued, Tokyo offered Khloe a suggestion: rather than commenting on her charity work, Khloe should go out and do something herself. Tokyo encouraged Khloe to take action and actually get involved in helping people in need. “Get outside and do something sis,” Tokyo urged, calling on Khloe to take the initiative and organize a food drive.
This was Tokyo’s attempt to shift the focus of the conversation away from their differences and onto the idea of actually doing something good for others. By telling Khloe to “get outside,” Tokyo was challenging her to put her words into action and make a real difference, rather than just commenting on others’ charity efforts. The Kardashian-Jenner family’s rise to fame, mostly due to their reality show, has overshadowed the sibling rivalries and issues between this group and other members of the family. It was a challenge for Khloe to step up in a way that was more hands-on and less about public recognition.
A Warning and Final Words
Tokyo ended her tirade with a note of finality. She told Khloe that this would be the last time she would address the matter, stating, “Imma save you this time, I’m not even going to let it go any further than this.” With these words, Tokyo suggested that she was ready to end the argument, but only because she felt that she had made her point clear. It was almost as if she was extending an olive branch, yet maintaining that her actions and intentions were above reproach.
In such events Tokyo’s comment has been really fierce and almost aggressive, women must be particularly provoked if they want to remain silent and all the criticisms do not mean they will defeat women in a battle that women have already conquered. There is no doubt, simply enough, “ do not try smoke and mirror me, you can try to make me insane – are you crazy lady? Why do I care?”. The ongoing exchanges of harsh words by Tokyo Toni and Khloe Kardashian has always stemmed from a much wider and deeper rift in this family which has been in the public domain quite often. What’s more, in relation to what Tokyo believes and what she raised, she opened many wounds that other family members seem to wish remained sealed.
Finally, on top of what Tokyo said, her past with Khloe rubbed her the wrong way and that’s what Khloe replied to in the first place. Instead of just making basic charity comments, a family feud over privacy, charitable causes, and making media selfies with the family ideologies has escalated. It is not clear whether the spread of this conflict will continue or not, but it is obvious that there will be no peace anytime soon.
