Kim Kardashian was refused membership at The Soho House because they don’t cater to people considered vulgar reality TV stars who got famous off a sex tape? The Soho House in Los Angeles just turned five years old, and some of the management for the elite members-only club spoke to the Hollywood Reporter about some of the Soho House’s more interesting rules and gossip.
One such piece of gossip? Kim Kardashian has applied for – and been denied – membership numerous times. Tim Geary, the former membership director, tells the Hollywood Reporter, “We denied access to every Real Housewife who applied. Kim Kardashian has unsuccessfully tried numerous times. Kobe Bryant showed up and chose not to join. We didn’t let him up. There was debate over Britney Spears. Not sure how that played out. We tried not to give membership to people who would fuel paparazzi or bring press.”
They may sound snooty, but the truth is, the Soho House is one of the few places that doesn’t suck up to the Kardashians and their ilk – shouldn’t they be given kudos for that? They actually try to make their membership requirements more about the club’s creativity and potential, rather than who will bring the most attention, i.e. paparazzi. Privacy and business are the two core principles behind the Soho House, and having Kardashians and Real Housewives there will ruin that image.
I mean, obviously Kim wants membership because she wants to legitimize her place in Hollywood, but the truth is, she’s still a D-list reality star without an ounce of creativity in her body. She’s not a writer, she’s not a producer, she’s not an actress – she’s a reality star who became famous off a sex tape. There’s no way the Soho House is ever going to give her membership, even if she somehow becomes an Oscar winning producer over the next ten years.
