      An ex-Kardashian friend spoke out against the family and now they’ve hit back

      by

      It’s known the inner circle of the Kardashian-Jenners is very tight knight, and once you’re out, you’re out.
      Over the past year, all of the sisters unfollowed their longtime friend Larsa Pippen and now she’s spoken out, but in true Kar-Jenner style, they, of course, hit back.

      Larsa recently spoke out about the Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars on a podcast, strongly suggesting that the demise of their friendship was down to Kim’s husband Kanye West who caused her to have a “different type of relationship” with the KKW Beauty founder.
      “If your husband feels, like, threatened by my relationship with you, then I don’t want to be that person,” she said on the Hollywood Raw podcast.

      Well, now an apparent source close to the Kardashians have told E! News that they distanced themselves from Larsa as they didn’t trust her and in fact caught her “talking behind their backs and it was all just too much”.

      “They all think Larsa is toxic energy,” the source added.
      In fact, the whole family believes Larsa is doing anything to make herself “stay relevant”.
      “They think she’s trying to stay relevant and Kim doesn’t appreciate the accusations regarding Kanye,” the E! News source added.
      “The family is very protective over one another and all feel like she violated their privacy by dishing out details to the public.”
      Whatever went on behind the scenes between Larsa and the Kardashian sisters we may never know, but after this, we’re not sure if she’ll ever be in the good books again.

      One of our favourite DIFC hotspots named the best bar in the Middle East

      by

      One of our favourite Dubai hotspots has been named the best bar in the Middle East and Africa.
      Taking the top spot in the region is popular establishment Zuma Dubai, located in DIFC.

      In the World’s 50 Best Bars 2020 list it was the only Dubai-based bar and establishment in the region to make the list, ranking at number 23.
      Prior to this achievement, the multi-award-winning Zuma Dubai restaurant and cocktail bar ranked number 44 in 2015.

      Discussing the achievement, Zuma’s Global Bar Development Director Jimmy Barrat shared his surprise at the ranking.
      “This year being ranked at 23 is incredible and much higher than I ever expected,” Barrat said in a statement. “I am immensely proud of our team, especially with the unforeseen challenges of this year.”

      However, as Barrat explained, Zuma Dubai has not been an overnight success. First founded in London by Rainer Becker and Arjun Waney in 2002, Zuma then made its way to Dubai in 2008.
      “Zuma Dubai has been a labour of love, it wasn’t something that happened overnight but is the reward after 12 years of hard work,” Barrat acknowledged. “The consistency and retention of a team sharing the same goal, pushing the boundaries of creativity and believing in a part of the world that wasn’t on the cocktail craftsmanship map.
      “Our guests at Zuma are the ones that keep us driving forward, so it is important to also thank them for their continued support over the years.”
      Amongst the top 100 bars in the world, the only other regional establishment to make the list was Galaxy Bar, also located in DIFC, which ranked at number 67.
