Dear Kim,

I was enjoying the Super Bowl post-game interview with Reggie Bush and Tracy Porter so very much. Porter had just finished telling us about his adorable daughter - I think her name is Samaria - (too cute!), when suddenly a special guest was announced. Now, before I tell you what I saw from my viewpoint, I wasn’t sure but I thought I saw someone that looked a lot like your mom standing in the background, and then I realized that it was indeed her as your image came into view. I thought, how nice, Kim is waiting for Reggie to finish up his interview. Until I realized that you were the special guest, and what I saw next was a bit of a disappointment.

Now Kim, I don’t say this about too many women, but girl you are gorgeous. From what I hear you are also rich, and well-known for someone that neither sings, acts, nor dances. You are clearly the envy of every pretty girl, as I’m sure you are well aware. Anyway, I wasn’t really sure how you managed to get invited to join in on your beloved’s special moment, and from the look on his face I would bet he was wondering the same. Look, I’m all for partnership, loving and supporting your man, but I really only wanted to hear from Reggie. I’ve never even heard the young man speak. I’ve seen numerous pictures of him with you about town, and may I add you two make a very nice couple. But I need to ask, are you more interested in constantly being in front of the camera or do you want to be with Reggie?

Granted, I only know what I hear and see about your relationship with him. He seems to really care for you, and I’m sure he knows who he’s dealing with in you. But that move you made, upstaging him, literally grabbing the mic - that’s a move that could have waited at least until you made it legal. Think about it - I’m a woman that loves football almost as much as any guy. Note I said almost. It’s a guy’s world. It’s the only time a man can comfortably say he is spending his afternoon gazing at other men in very tight pants who are grabbing, tugging and wrestling each other to the ground for hours on end. And those men being watched in very tight pants? I imagine even the most humble of them has an ego as large as a football field and not interested in being interrupted by anyone on his special day - even by you.

So I imagine I sound a little sexist to you, so let me backtrack and say again that I’m all for partnership and supporting your man. But was that support, or a desperate plea for attention, and maybe even a marriage proposal on national television? I really have to say I don’t understand. You are beautiful, can have any man you want, but you are going to have to make a decision. If Reggie is a good man, you don’t need to manipulate and guilt-trip him into being with you. Now a lot of folks may not agree with what I’m saying. A lengthy debate last night among friends and family made me consider that not everyone saw the same thing that I saw. But, Kim, if you just want to be in the limelight at any cost, you have to understand, it could cost you. We know Reggie is your man, and we know that you are a Kardashian. Respect his space and let him miss you some time - that is if you want to become Mrs. Reggie Bush. That is what you want, isn’t it? Leave the Super Bowl interviews to the guys who actually played in it, like all of the other wives and girlfriends who came before you and will surely stay in the background after you.
