Taking to Reddit on Thursday, one fan began a discussion about the lack of appearances of Jonathan on Kim’s social media platforms.
“What happened to the Kardashians and Foodgod/Jonathan Cheban?” they titled the thread.
Going into detail, they wrote: “They don’t seem that close anymore. Every other episode we had to hear about ‘my BEST friend Jonathan.’ Every once in a while he could be funny but I have no idea why he was on so much, he doesn’t come across likable. And yes I’ve read the deep dive on him, I forget if it’s here or the snark sub.”
They continued: “Also Simon Huck was on the Skinny Confidential and it was pretty good. He did spill that Jonathan was huge in PR at one point and he was definitely seeking fame and the spotlight, while Simon says he wasn’t necessarily.
“I recently watched the episode where Jonathan drops everything at the last second to get on a plane from Miami to LA for family feud, and today watched the episode where he flies out to London to be with Kim. Lol, LA to London is no small journey.”
The author later added: “Edit: oh yeah i think there was an episode where kim made him drop off a vial of her pee to the doctor when she was pregnant! ugghhhh.”
Others quickly commented on the post as one person claimed: “I think they’re definitely still friendly but Jonathan always lived on the East Coast so there’s a geographical distance.
Another person said: “They seem to be focused on promoting themselves as a brand and anything that doesn’t make them money is no longer on display. Maybe they’re still just as close but we don’t see it. Who even do we get a close look at as Kim’s friend now?”
Someone else wrote: “I don’t think any friends are on the show because they would have to be paid out of the KJs salaries. Whereas I think E! paid all the friends separately.”
Most recently, Jonathan was seen costing up to Kim’s younger sister Kendall Jenner at the Grand Opening of Nobu Dubai, at Atlantis The Palm in Dubai last month.
Jonathan posted a photo of him, Kendall, and Simon Huck on his Instagram but Kim didn’t appear to like or comment on the post.
The supposed distance between Kim and Jonathan could be due to the interview he gave to US Weekly last year when Kim was in a relationship with Pete Davidson.
During the chat, Jonathan was asked how he felt about Kim and Pete’s romance.
The interviewer exclaimed, “Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen her [Kim] look so happy!” to which Jonathan responded, “Well, I mean honestly Kim’s always happy.”

“That’s the beauty of Kim, so she’s been happy since I met her and that’s life.”
He casually continued, “You know, she’s so successful and nothing really, like, bothers her and you know, she has a positive vibe all the time.”
Jonathan was asked again if he’s happy she’s in the relationship, and why he’s the perfect partner for her right now.
“I don’t know, I don’t know how perfect anybody is for anyone to be honest,” he said. “I’m just happy that she’s happy.”
He added, “You know I did hang out with them, we went to dinner a few weeks ago after the [Hulu] premiere so you know, he’s funny, and I like funny.
“So two funny’s is extra funny, so, its a lot. It’s a whole – we laughed a lot, let’s put it that way. I like his vibe,” Jonathan concluded.
‘HE HATES HIM LOL’
Fans were floored by what they called “non-answers” from one of Kim’s closest counterparts.
The clip was captioned, “Does Pete Davidson get Kim Kardashian’s BFF Foodgod’s approval?” but many felt the answer was clear.
“Based of his non-answer answers, no,” one Instagram user replied.
“He hates him lol” wrote another.
“Way to dodge the questions…” commented a third.
A fourth accused, “This guy has always creeped me out”
While a fifth replied to that user, “Super creepy. He is in love with her. Everyone has seen it. Creepy creeperton.”
Another simply penned, “I get jealous vibes.”
