I'm unsure whether to put a content warning on this post. It's Barbie Kardashian, so it involves explicit discussions and references to abuse, porn, etc.

'Kardashian (24), who was released from prison last year has been given until July 6 to vacate emergency accommodation in Meath after she was caught filming porn and engaging in prostitution.
But the volatile criminal, who served her sentence for threatening to rape and kill her mother, defended her prostitution gig - albeit she claims to have now stopped as she fights eviction.
“The reason why I was doing the porn and prostitution was because I wanted to be objectified sexually.
“I wanted to be viewed as a whore and as a slut by the entire Irish society basically. It’s my aspiration to be like Bonnie Blue,” she said.
...
Now Kardashian, who is a legally recognised female, admits she was having scores of men over to her council accommodation - in a clear breach of her tenancy agreement.
“I advertised myself online as a prostitute. I was giving them my address which was breaching the tenancy agreement. We were having sex completely consensually and during some of the encounters I asked the men if they could let me film ourselves having sex and they said yeah and that I could put the videos up online.
“That was obviously another breach of the tenancy agreement. It says in the agreement that I’m not able to film any content inside the property. Some ratted me out I guess,” she said.'

My concern is why Ruhana, an organisation set up to help women, is helping this man.

'Ruhama, an Irish NGO and registered charity which says it offers support for women impacted by prostitution aided Kardashian in attempting to appeal the council decision.
In correspondence with the council a caseworker for the organisation cited Kardashian’s history of “complex trauma,” and stated that she faces no alternative housing options.'

https://www.ruhama.ie/common-questions/

'We offer free and confidential support to women affected by prostitution or sex trafficking in Ireland. '

'Ruhama is a women’s organisation and a safe space for women, including transgender women.'

Are Ruhama cognisant of the potential risk to staff? Other service users?

'Detective Garda Niall Fitzgerald of Roxboro Road Garda Station, Limerick, gave evidence that gardaí believe Ms Kardashian continues to “pose a significant threat to those she has made threats towards, as well as to the wider public.”
Kardashian had 15 previous convictions including for threats to kill, sexual assault, assault causing harm, assault, and causing criminal damage to property.'

Sometimes these organisations are trapped. Many of them are ideologically captured, also they are not looking for women to be saints by definition their mission is to take people on the edge and support them, they are looking to fix things.

He is a manipulative conniving con artist with a fully diagnosed personality disorder in among a group of people who feel they can fix and save people if they just pour enough time and energy into them.

He is in the definition of an abusive relationship just this time it is with an organisation.

Oh lord. Desperately sorry for everyone involved in the situation really.

He is as pps have said, extremely disturbed, extremely dangerous, and everyone must know it's merely a matter of time before some awful incident happens and he ends up back inside. This isn't entirely his fault either, he may be very dangerous but he's equally very vulnerable, services are always going to be trying to pick up the pieces of the wreckage from his childhood onwards.

I can imagine of the services that have the know how, the contacts, the people available to do anything productive, this one may be the best of the bad options, he must be a pretty extreme case. Hope to goodness part of what they're doing is making sure their women users and clients are strongly protected from him while they try and do something for him too, and at least they know where he is. Trying to maintain his safety and everyone else's safety from him at the same time must be a bloody nightmare. It must be awful knowing whatever they do, it can only ever be a matter of delaying the inevitable for as long as possible.

There are a number of people who seem to think that everyone is basically the same, and that if you just sit down and explain stuff to people doing bad things, then they will stop.

I can only assume these people have lived extremely sheltered lives, or that they have such a fixed mindset that they literally can't see or hear other people.

Christ I hope there are some sensible women involved here that realise they're trapped and have to support him (because of Ireland's rules), but also realise he's insanely dangerous and treat him as such.

And yes, like PP says - surely supporting trafficked/prostituted women doesn't mean supporting them to carry on? It means supporting them to get out I'd think (or encouraging them to get out, whilst trying to support them to stay safe)

I’d have a lot more confidence that that was what was happening though if it weren’t for all the attempts to force women to accept that TWAW, to the extent of calling for anyone who doesn’t think that to have all public representation removed from the heretics.

But in Ireland TW are W is the law. So organisations are stuck. All they can do is risk assess and manage as best they can.

It sounds like they don't claim to be a women only group - 'Ruhama is a women’s organisation and a safe space for women, including transgender women.'

He's obviously very disturbed and continues to be a dangerous threat to the public but I actually don't see why they shouldn't support him, if that's what they do. It may actually help to keep his violence at bay if he thinks someone is helping him.

Well except for the fact that he previously attacked his care worker and tried to rip her eyes out, so I don’t think he has the same definition of help as most people. His version seems to be “Do what I want or else”.

He’s said he has a list of women he wants to rape and murder, and several of those are his previous social workers or other women who were trying to help him.

If that’s about my last post rather than the overall situation, I should probably clarify that he didn’t exactly try to rip her eyes out: he grabbed her from behind as she was driving him to a court hearing about something else he’d done (which was her job after all) tearing her eyelids and injuring her quite badly https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-30920322.html

You'll notice he’s described as a girl in this article though.

Girl subjected to 'cruel' parenting tore social worker's eyelids and 'wanted to murder her'

A psychological report found that the child was physically and emotionally abused by her father and when she was old enough “the father recruited her to join him in the abuse of the mother”.

If you live in England I can see why you’d want to close it again and move on. It’s tragic. Including for Gentile/Kardashian, who had the most traumatic childhood.

Sadly though, Ireland’s crazy attempt at getting ahead of the curve in “progressiveness” has meant the law says this is a woman not a mentally ill man, with so much that follows on from that. All of it bad.

Wishesandhorses · Yesterday 16:16

Nevertheless some services have to help him, and it is an ongoing issue in all parts of the UK that there are these very few extreme individuals who are both very dangerous and very vulnerable without there really being the sort of resources that protect either them or the general public from them. Tiffany Scott was another one. New and better specific services needed for extreme MH in violent male offenders rather than local teams doing their best with someone they just aren't set up for. Edited to add: obviously, however the person identifies, their sex will always be male in this kind of danger/offending.

I am sorry. It is all highly disturbing.

The most disturbing thing is that this man has been enabled, affirmed, and I would say his issues have been exacerbated by the entire establishment pretending to pander to his extreme delusions and wishes.

There will always be damaged, difficult, and dangerous people. Some people will always cleave to irrational ideas, sometimes precisely because they are irrational.

By colluding in the absurd pretence that its possible to change sex, the establishment has destabilised 'gender incongruent' people further, worsened the situation, and in some cases, created bigger problems. Not least by punishing anyone who tries to even talk about the issue.

Because almost the entire staff are female, and just about every service that has encountered him so far has at some point observed that he presents a real and serious risk to women.

No women should be put at risk in some misguided effort to 'help' this man.

He's already assaulted a social worker, a prison guard, his mother.

At this point I would say its men that need to step the fuck up and do the helping.

I am pretty sure he will have had thorough mental health assessments.

He may well be severely personality disordered; (report below suggests narcissistic pd) but that doesn't necessarily mean he is mentally ill.

I agree it seems ridiculous that the authorities are basically waiting for something terrible to happen, to him, someone else, or both.

Oh. A news report from an earlier case. I guess MN doesn't like it.

Anyway, I was saying that he has narcissistic personality disorder but isn't necessarily mentally ill.

'Teachta Carthy, who is Cathaoirleach of the Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, said:
“There has been huge public concern following the release of a high-profile prisoner, Barbie Kardashian, who made serious violent threats immediately upon leaving Limerick prison. In response to these concerns, I have written to the Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly requesting that the Gardaí issue a public statement confirming that this matter is being taking seriously and will take action to ensure public safety.
“The job of our criminal justice system is to keep the public safe. Those who are a clear danger to the public including those who threaten to carry out acts of violence should be behind bars.
“This case is a failure of the criminal justice system.
“There are serious questions as to how this person was released early given the concerns raised by the sentencing judge. Judge Tom O’Donnell, when sentencing, said the Court had a major concern about Kardashian’s movement after release. Yet Kardashian only served two years and six months of a five- and half-year sentence.
“Immediately upon release Kardashian made a series of violent threats which have caused deep alarm about public safety.
“It seems to be evident that the terms of any early release provisions have been breached by these public threats and that there is an urgent need to provide public assurance that every effort is being made to protect the public.'

Seems that BK was eventually held in the male prison.

https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2025/07/25/transgender-prisoner-held-in-squalid-dungeon-like-conditions/

'Kardashian was initially held in Limerick Women’s Prison where she was accused of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to a fellow woman prisoner and a prison officer in 2023.
She was transferred to Limerick Men’s Prison following a directive from then minister for justice Helen McEntee.
Last year, she was acquitted of threatening the woman prisoner and prison officer, but remains in the men’s prison serving the remainder of her original sentence.
Kardashian (25) is housed in the High Protection Unit on the D1 wing of the prison where inmates who require special protection are kept.'

So it seems even Ireland has had to row back on their acceptance of men as women. Thank god for that.

I’ll never understand how he was acquitted of threatening the female prison officer. He admitted having said he’d rape her so violently using instruments that she’d never be able to have children - and he was acquitted because apparently it’s ok to talk like that to a prison officer! It’s just bit of backchat apparently.

Yes, the one thing that can be said about BK that is not 100% eye-poppingly awful is that everybody, from the then Taoiseach [Prime minister] down agreed that he should not be in a women's prison.

In other words, it didn't matter that he self-IDed as a woman, that he had a GRC that said he was a woman, that in theory the state policy is that
TWAW - BK demonstrated just what that meant in real life, and his 'legally certified' sex was brushed aside and he was not kept in a women's prison.

It showed how flimsy the acceptance of TWAW is - I don't believe the Plain People of Ireland, as Myles na gCopaleen called us, have ever bought into gender ideology, and when push came to shove in the BK case, neither did the government.

Wasn't that what he threatened to do to his mother, not the prison officer?
If I remember rightly, he 'only' threatened to assault the officer, not rape her.
That might make the jury's decision slightly more understandable, but it's true that juries come to weird decisions sometimes..

Though maybe less weird if you are [one is] in the courtroom to hear all the evidence and the legal definitions and the judge's instructions.

Obviously BK is a dangerous character, I'm not defending him at all.
