Between professional success on one hand, personal struggles on the other, Kim Kardashian has a lot on her plate. Those caught up with the entertainment world would know about Kim’s recent issues with ex-husband Kanye West regarding the custody of her kids. The only relief? She is looking at the start of something big. Joining her in this venture is her long-time friend La La Anthony.
As Yahoo! News reported, Hulu has officially given the green light to Group Chat, a satirical comedy that will bring La La Anthony to the forefront as both a star and executive producer. With Kenya Barris writing and producing and Kardashian adding her executive touch, this show already has an intriguing mix of talent behind it.
Hulu picked up Group Chat for development back in the summer of 2024 as part of a first-look deal Kim Kardashian inked with 20th Television. BET Studios, where Barris is a key figure, is also backing the project, adding even more weight to its potential success.

Interesting part? The show is loosely based on La La Anthony’s bestselling book, The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness. The premise? Five powerful, stylish women in their 40s who have seemingly conquered Los Angeles. But behind their picture-perfect Instagram-worthy lives is a secret group chat where all the real drama plays out. In this digital space, their unfiltered, messy, and brutally honest truths come to life.
Now, for Kardashian, Group Chat might be the perfect distraction from the storm brewing in her personal life. For those who haven’t been keeping up, she’s reportedly reconsidering her custody agreement with Kanye West after he dropped a song featuring their daughter, North West, without her consent.
According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian is weighing the possibility of taking Kanye back to court, aiming to revoke his joint legal custody rights. While she still wants their children to maintain a bond with their father, it’s the decision-making power that’s causing the rift.

When it comes to physical custody, that’s not up for debate—West allegedly sees the kids rarely. But the legal side? That’s a different battle. Their divorce agreement states that if they disagree on matters concerning their children, they need to resolve it through a private hearing. Yet, West’s latest move suggests he’s not playing by the rules, as he supposedly agreed not to release the song. But he later went ahead and did it anyway.

Amid such circumstances, a show to focus on can be a much-needed distraction to have. Especially when she is stepping into it with her long-time friend La La Anthony. The bond between the two stars runs deeper than you’d think, especially when one of their children sends gifts for the other.
Kiyan Anthony’s special Syracuse gift for Kim Kardashian
Kiyan Anthony sure knows how to make a statement with a gift! Back in January, Kim Kardashian took to Instagram to show off a special Syracuse basketball bomber jacket that he sent her, and let’s just say—it was more than just a jacket. It was a tribute to his father, Carmelo Anthony, and his unforgettable college career.

Kardashian was clearly touched by the gesture, sharing a photo of the jacket with a simple but appreciative, “Thank you @kiyananthony.” And who wouldn’t be? The design featured a bold orange “S,” Carmelo’s name, and even a picture of him in his Syracuse uniform on the inside lining. To top it off, the jacket paid homage to his legendary 2003 season, complete with his No. 15 jersey, and a nod to Syracuse’s national championship win.
But this isn’t just a one-sided show of appreciation. Kardashian has been just as warm toward the rising basketball star. When Kiyan turned 18 last March, she celebrated him on social media with a sweet throwback photo of him and her daughter, North West—a reminder of just how long their families have been connected. So to have them around more during the shoots would for sure be a sense of calmness for Kim Kardashian amid recent legal controversy with her ex-Husband.
