Earlier this year, as there was talk that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were splitting up, a rumor spread that Kim was dating CNN contributor Van Jones. Neither of them addressed the rumor and it died soon after.

But when Kim recently posted photos of herself in a bikini studying to become a lawyer, the rumor started back up again. That's because Jones is also a lawyer and some think Kim is using him to help her. The two also worked on criminal justice reform together.

People are gonna look at Kim as using Kanye to advance her in the fashion world and using Van Jones to help advance her into her next career field in law.

"People are gonna look at Kim as using Kanye to advance her in the fashion world and using Van Jones to help advance her into her next career field in law," one person tweeted.
