Last week, we reported on the increasingly sad situation involving model and actress Jaime King.
King has reportedly lost primary custody of her two children due to her failure to complete a six-month drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in accordance with court orders.
That was followed by more bad news for Jaime, as the troubled star is reportedly being evicted from her rental home.
Jaime is obviously not as in-demand as she used to be in Hollywood, but her plight has been making headlines thanks in large part to her connection to the most famous woman on the planet.
Jaime King used to be besties with Taylor Swift
Yes, Jaime was once so close with Taylor Swift that Taylor is the godmother of one of her children.
The two met at a Golden Globes party in 2014, and according to Page Six, they instantly “became inseparable.”
Jaime’s ex-husband, Kyle Newman, even directed the video for Taylor’s 2015 song “Style.”
But it seems that in the years that followed, Jaime and Taylor drifted apart.
“Taylor and Jaime are not close anymore and don’t talk, but there is still love,” a source tells the outlet.
The insider adds that while Taylor and Jaime have not been in contact in quite some time, Swift would “be there in a heartbeat” if there were any sort of emergency involving her godson.
“She has always taken her godmother role and duties very seriously and is the most caring and thoughtful person Jaime could’ve asked to be there for Leo,” the source told the outlet.
“But their relationship is a lot different now than it was back when Jaime asked Taylor to be his godmother. There is no regular contact.”
Obviously, it sounds like Jaime is in dire straits these days, but as far as we know, she has not reached out to her billionaire friend for a loan.
Jaime King speaks out amid landlord drama
According to Us Weekly, Jaime was locked out of her 10,145-a-month rental property after failing to pay rent for four consecutive months.
“The situation with my landlord was resolved privately,” King told the outlet this week.
“It’s disappointing — but not surprising — to see someone try to exploit this moment for attention. I am currently focused on what matters most: my children.
The landlord claimed that King owed $42,580 in back rent and had been living at the property “maliciously”
Court documents indicate that King had been living in the Hollywood Hills home since April 2023, but had stopped paying rent in January.
Here’s hoping that Jaime will be able to get back on her feet sometime soon.
