American celebrity Kim Kardashian is on the receiving end of the wrath of some Arsenal fans as they believe her curse is the reason Arsenal could not win the English Premier League. A Twitter post has gone viral recently which outlines Arsenal’s poor form since Kardashian went to watch them at the Emirates. The Gunners lost on the night Kardashian came to watch them and have played poorly since then.

Manchester City clinched the Premier League title on Saturday after Nottingham Forest inflicted a defeat on Arsenal and ended their title hopes. Erling Haaland has been the star for Manchester City as they chased Arsenal down without faltering. On the other hand, faltering is all that Arsenal did. Until early April, they were eight points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table. They have won only two out of eight games since then.
Moreover, Arsenal will go trophyless this season. They were out of FA Cup and lost the Carabao Cup as well. As for Europe, Kardashian was there to witness their downfall in the Europa League.
Arsenal fans blame Kim Kardashian for their team’s dreadful run of form
On March 16, 2023, Kardashian was there at the Emirates to watch Arsenal take on Sporting Lisbon. The first leg of the match ended 2-2. Arsenal drew the home leg 1-1 and took the match to penalties. The Gunners lost the tie in penalties 3-5 with Kardashian and her family in the stands watching on. Since then, Arsenal has played 10 games and won only 4.
Here are some fan reactions blaming Kardashian for the poor run of form:
True curse😭😂

However, some fans defended Kardashian. They believed Arsenal slipped up and did not show any champion’s mentality.
Folks will blame everything but Mikel Arteta

It has to be noted, however, that this was not the only time Kardashian has been blamed for a curse. Something similar happened at Paris Saint-Germain as well.
Kardashian ‘curse’ struck Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain as well
Just a few days after visiting the Emirates, Kardashian visited the Parc des Princes. She was joined by her son, his friends, and Kendall Jenner. They were all treated to pitchside access as PSG, a star-studded club that has many celebrity fans, welcomed their special guest.

Before this match against Rennes at home, PSG had earned 35 points from a possible 39 at home in Ligue 1. They were undefeated on home turf for 35 matches. However, on this very day, PSG lost 0-2.
The defeat was a tough one to take for Lionel Messi as well. It ended an impressive personal run for him. He had not lost a single home game in over 700 days as a PSG player.
Is the Kim K ‘curse’ real? Do you think Arsenal were actually a victim of the curse more than their own mishaps? Let us know in the comments below.
