Kim Kardashian and Michael Rubin connect for moms going through hardships
Kim K and Rubin did more than just celebrate the women in their lives this past Sunday. They used their strength and financial stability to help make life easier for moms throughout the nation.
Today nonprofit criminal justice reform organization REFORM Alliance is announcing their partnership with co-chair Michael Rubin and Kim Kardashian to pay off the restitution, fines, fees for more than fifty mothers stuck in the probation and parole system. The women are from New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Georgia, Los Angeles County, Florida, Virginia and Illinois.
By paying off their legal financial obligations, most of the women will now be able to get off supervision or be eligible to file for early termination, which many of their probation officers have endorsed.
One of the women receiving relief is Danielle Davis, who lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Danielle was convicted of a nonviolent offense in 2012 and sentenced to twenty-three months of parole and three years of probation. In 2017, when her sentence was due to end, she was given an additional twenty-three months of parole and three years of probation - not due to any new crime or any violations of her probation conditions. Her supervision was extended solely because of unpaid restitution. In 2022, her probation was extended again for another three years.
“It’s hard to fathom what these mothers have to go through,” says Kim Kardashian. “All they want is the chance to rebuild their lives, and yet our system keeps them stuck in an endless cycle of supervision. I want to do my part to give these women the second chance they’ve earned. I urge lawmakers and advocates across the country to work toward changing outdated laws that keep too many people unnecessarily behind bars. I will continue to bring awareness to these important issues until there is change.”
For the eleven years Danielle has been under supervision, she had no violations and no run-ins with the law. The mother of four recently had two open heart surgeries and struggles to meet her probation reporting requirements, like having to travel from Philadelphia to Media, PA to meet with her probation officer despite not owning a car. She makes payments ranging from $50-$100 every month, while living on a fixed income. Danielle said, “I thought I’d die on probation” because she could not afford to pay off the full amount she owes.
Kardashian and Rubin are paying off the remaining balance of her restitution, fines and fees along with more than 50 other women in similar circumstances.
“Probation and parole were meant to support people as they re-entered society,” says Michael Rubin. “But instead, these systems keep people stuck. Forcing people to remain on supervision because they can’t pay restitution is deeply unjust – and it doesn’t improve public safety one bit. REFORM Alliance is committed to transforming probation and parole and getting people out of the system for good so that they can be back with their families, contribute to their communities, and move on to live productive lives.”
This initiative will free the women from the supervision trap and give them a springboard toward rebuilding their lives. These mothers have a demonstrated track record of rehabilitation and success on supervision with no violations and many have the support of their supervising officers in terminating their supervision once the financial obligations are met. Kim Kardashian, Michael Rubin and REFORM Alliance hope to raise awareness about our broken parole and probation systems while supporting this deserving group of women for Mother's Day.
“Each of these women have shown a true commitment to transforming their lives,” says REFORM Chief Advocacy & Operations Officer Jessica Jackson. “Like so many other mothers still trapped in the system, they’re doing their part to take accountability and build a better future for their families. It’s time for all of us to do our part to support them, and to create a criminal justice system that truly prioritizes public safety. I hope these women have a beautiful Mother’s Day and that this effort helps them move on with their lives.” Jessica, a mom to three, has served as REFORM’s Chief Advocacy & Operations Officer since the organization was founded in 2019. She has dedicated her career to criminal justice reform after experiencing the system firsthand when her then-husband was sent to prison for an offense stemming from his addiction shortly after Jessica’s first daughter Hannah was born.

I was reminded of The Nightmare when I saw @celinedion post
I was initially diagnosed with Stiff Man Syndrome because I was damn near physically immobilized before undergoing a Spinal Tap procedure in June of 2020 after @kimkardashian found a Doctor for me in midst of The Pandemic.
One in every 1 Million people are diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome and the actual combination of Lupus and Diabetes caused the same symptoms that would lead one to think it was that.

The Chris Paul, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian memes are epic
While it’s never good to poke fun at another person’s pain, these memes really do hit different. From what the world imagines CP3’s wife said to him after the rumor went viral to how Paul presumably pulled up on Kim, it’s all jaw-dropping and savage to the core.
Drake throwback trolling Kanye West with Chris Paul jerseys is now legendary
OVO Sound boss Drake really might be the king of playing chess and not checkers. A picture has surfaced from around 2021 showing what initially seemed as Drizzy showing love for NBA star Chris Paul by donning his jersey now looking like an inside message to Ye about a now-viral cheating allegation connecting CP3 with West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian still can’t make sense of Virgil Abloh’s death
A few days ago, KK hit up her Instagram page to dish out a flurry of thoughts and questions about Virgil’s life ending at just 41. She also reveals just how much he still means to her family.
“God doesn’t make mistakes. I know that but I still can’t help but ask why. Why Virgil?! Why him so soon?
it’s simply hard to understand why. I have a hard time understanding why so many pure souls were taken away so early. Virgil- you were always so gentle, kind and calm. You somehow made time for everyone. We also talked about your superpower of calmness often. You always gave so much of yourself to the world because you wanted it to be doper. This one is hard to process. I can’t even believe I am writing this… We will miss you so much Virgil and love you so much. Also I would love to send so much love to his wife Shannon. Because you loved and supported Virgil the way that you did, he was able to give so much of himself everyone else. So thank you truly for sharing him with us the way that you did. Virgil’s legacy will live on forever through Shannon, Lowe and Grey. 🕊”
The culture lost a true icon in Virgil Abloh
This past weekend, Abloh’s social media pages announced the crushing death. Virgil privately battled cancer these last few years before ultimately passing at the age of 41.
We are devastated to announce the passing of our beloved Virgil Abloh, a fiercely devoted father, husband, son, brother, and friend. He is survived by his loving wife Shannon Abloh, his children Lowe Abloh and Grey Abloh, his sister Edwina Abloh, his parents Nee and Eunice Abloh, and numerous dear friends and colleagues.
For over two years, Virgil valiantly battled a rare, aggressive form of cancer, cardiac angiosarcoma. He chose to endure his battle privately since his diagnosis in 2019, undergoing numerous challenging treatments, all while helming several significant institutions that span fashion, art, and culture.
Through it all, his work ethic, infinite curiosity, and optimism never wavered. Virgil was driven by his dedication to his craft and to his mission to open doors for others and create pathways for greater equality in art and design. He often said, “Everything I do is for the 17-year-old version of myself,” believing deeply in the power of art to inspire future generations.
We thank you all for your love and support, and we ask for privacy as we grieve and celebrate Virgil’s life.
