Kylie Jenner And Her Bodyguard Just Responded To The Paternity Rumors, And We're Clapping

There's an old saying that goes "idle hands are the devil's playthings." Applied to the 21st century, it'd probably be more like, "bored people on Twitter will come up with the most ludicrous conspiracies."

At least, that's what appears to have happened with Kylie Jenner and her bodyguard, Tim Chung.

Recently, the Twitterati began speculating that Tim Chung was the real father of Kylie's daughter, Stormi Webster.
People were falling left and right into the thirst trap that is Tim Chung. A few were so dehydrated that they went as far as to hope that Chung was the father, rather than Travis Scott.

The rumors became so rampant that Tim Chung decided to respond on Instagram.
"I am a very private person and would normally never answer to gossip and stories that are so ridiculous they are laughable," wrote Chung.

"Out of deep respect for Kylie, Travis, their daughter together, and their families, I would like to set the record straight," continued Chung.
"There is no story here and I ask that the media no longer include me in any narrative that is incredibly disrespectful to their family," Chung concluded.

Chung wasn't the only one to comment on the conspiracy.
In what seems like a subtle response to the situation, Kylie posted a photo of herself and Travis Scott at the Met Gala, captioning it, "Stormi’s Parents 🖤."

You know, just in case anybody cough Twitter cough had been speculating cough Twitter cough otherwise.

... cough

But despite these responses, some people were still unconvinced.
What can we say, though? The internet feeds on conspiracy, even in the face of opposing facts.

Sometimes, you just gotta let people have their opinions — no matter how wild they are — and then politely ignore them.

So there you have it, folks.
The record has officially been set straight.

...not that this rumor was based on any hard facts, to begin with.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Twitterati.
