The gossip mill went into overdrive after a paparazzi photo surfaced of Tim Chung helping Kylie Jenner into her car in March 2016. She posted the pic to Instagram, and the comments immediately lit up. The snap went viral, and Jenner’s legion of devotees flooded the interweb to share their appreciation of the hunky part-time model and LAPD officer.
Chung’s private Instagram account was mined for hot pics, and his follower count shot up past the 445,000 mark as he was plastered all over social media in a blaze of sexual objectification. “I would intentionally try to get attacked by paparazzi just so he can protect me in his arms,” a fan posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I am in danger can he be my protector please,” gushed another. Chung had unwittingly become a budding influencer. Still, his profile rose further after the rumor started spreading in 2018 that he was Stormi Webster’s real father.
Even the tabloids jumped in, fanning the conspiracy flames. “Travis Scott’s mom demands he get a paternity test to prove he’s Stormi’s dad,” a dubious In Touch headline blared. Jenner and Scott didn’t even bother to address the baseless gossip. However, he started blocking trolls who posted to his timeline. “Yoooo guys Travis Scott blocked me lmao what did I do??? I was just trying to help bro,” one shared on X, along with a screenshot of their blocked account notification.
