Kim Kardashian is taking her latest legal fight to Spotify.
On the heels of passing the baby bar exam and solidifying her status as a force in criminal justice, the reality star has released the first two episodes of her first original podcast, Kim Kardashian’s The System: The Case of Kevin Keith.

As Kardashian notes early in the eight-episode podcast, there is no physical evidence tying Keith to the murders, for which he has already served 28 years behind bars, many of them on death row. The case, which Rothschild Ansaldi has been investigating for years,...

Kim shared a photo of herself holding a bottle of morning sickness pills called Bonjesta, and wrote, "You know how sick I was while pregnant; I could barely get out of bed. That was before I found a safe and effective med to treat my morning sickness when diet and lifestyle changes didn’t help." However, disappointed fans noticed that this drug wasn't even available while she was pregnant, and they're calling her out. "Did this even exist when you were last pregnant?" asked one fan.
