The matter was stirred by Vargas, who said that Kim Kardashian, who recently suffered from an aneurysm, is likely a product of her extravagant lifestyle and the use of notoriously tight corsets. Vargas not only expressed concern for the health of the Kardashian in a video shared online, but she also put forward her own theory regarding the rare medical condition. The issue escalated to the level that hundreds of comments were exchanged, and people shared their personal stories, medical opinions, and reactions—strongly or otherwise—to Vargas’s claim.

Vargas did not hesitate to reveal her perspective on the health issue affecting Kim Kardashian. She aimed her camera at herself and proceeded to link Kardashian’s lifestyle with the consultations of doctors. “She has been wearing those corsets that are too tightly bound,” exclaimed Vargas. “And civilization has lately been putting on layers that you literally cannot breathe in. That just cuts the oxygen supply to your body.” The Journalist and the TV personality even suggested that the very public life of Kim K could be a source of stress but she kept on returning to corsetry that could be the possible cause of the ailment.
Vargas, in one way, was very compassionate and supportive of the SKIMS founder when she mentioned her health issues. “Kim, after your buying the news of that brain aneurysm your MRI early, she wrote in her caption. Just let it be —take off the corsets! You are beautiful both inside and outside. Allow your body to breathe.” She urged Kardashian to think of her health and to be less harsh on herself, suggesting that she should “take a few days, have a vacation, take the time for yourself” while particularly stating that she should wear her own SKIMS brand clothing “something you can actually breathe in!”
Kardashian’s choice of having multiple children was among the varied perspectives that erupted in the comment section of Vargas’ medical theories. One user who shared his experience with this issue mentioned that “medical doctors are coming out left and right and saying stress does not cause aneurysms”, furthermore, their “very best friend had an aneurysm—double aneurysm she wasn’t supposed to survive”—and stressing that “some fucking miracle” she lived to 65 was entirely disconnected from stress factors.
Another commentator completely dismisses stress as an influencing factor but still considers it as a possible cause for the aneurysm’s rupture. “As someone that also has a brain aneurysm, stress does not cause one but it could cause it to leak or burst,” they explained. “She as I was probably born with it and discovered incidentally.” This person did agree with Vargas about the corsets, commenting “I would imagine that can mess with blood flow/circulation” while adding the humorous observation “So-I have something in common with Kim K! Why can’t it be the money we have in common?”
Several commenters expressed their discontent with Kardashian’s lifestyle choices considering her financial status. “She has enough money to retire-but she’s getting greedy-it’s time to chill out and enjoy your life and your children,” wrote one person. Another added “She doesn’t do anything she doesn’t cook. She has people doing everything for her. I don’t feel sorry for her…. She should know what real stress is…” This opinion was shared by others who thought that the whole issue of the celebrity and her problems is due to her constant quest for attention and perfection.
The deliberation brought some surprises when commenters suggested other possible causes of the aneurysm. COVID-19 vaccinations were mentioned by several people as a likely factor, with one saying “brain aneurysm is listed as a side effect of the Covid jobs” while others were arguing this point in replies. Another theory was suggested “How about the toxins she injects into her face and ass, maybe it migrated to the brain?” while someone else bluntly labeled the whole situation as “Publicity stunt before new show”.
There were also many who expressed great concern for Kardashian’s health amid the unfounded speculations. “Let’s hope she’s okay! Scary…” was one comment accompanied by prayer emojis. Another just said “I wish her well” while someone else noted “being physically ill isn’t a good thing! Stress is a huge factor, causing illness these days.” The compassionate responses were in stark contrast to the critical remarks regarding Kardashian’s lifestyle choices.
Vargas’s video was also embellished with an unusual decoration that turned into a topic of conversation by itself. She dared her audience to tell her “favorite thing as a child” which was visible in the background, and she promised a bottle of her Vargas Vodka to whoever guessed rightly. Many people saw what seemed to be a banana-shaped object, one of them correctly naming it and the winner receiving their prize through direct messaging.
It was the public nature of the celebrity health issues that the discussion highlighted, the public were ready for analysis and opinion. While Vargas’s corset theory got some support especially from those who noted “it’s why women use to faint back in the day,” the medical soundness of her assertions was hotly debated. What was very obvious during the hundreds of comments that followed was Kim Kardashian’s health scare had touched a raw nerve that produced discussions about fashion, stress, medical science, and the burdens that come with being famous.
Vargas’s delicate message to Kim Kardashian could only underline the importance of self-care and being true to oneself. “True perfection? It’s messy, raw, human,” she wrote. “And that’s YOU.” Whether talking about corsets or stress, the main point always was that listening to your body and putting health first no matter what is more important than being seen or perceived the way you want. The social media conversation may be continued but Kardashian’s experience has evidently struck a chord with many, who like her, are struggling with health and lifestyle issues.

This situation reminds many of Kris Jenner‘s frequent public appearances with her daughter. The media attention surrounding All’s Fair has certainly contributed to the public discourse about the family.
