In brief: Kiki D’Aire: On Oct. 10, the veteran performer posted a warning: “Ladies- remember any man that says ALL of his exes are crazy, is not worth the drama because eventually you’ll be labeled that too no matter what you do or don’t.”
Some advice columns run in the Sunday paper. Kiki D’Aire’s ran on X on a Saturday morning.
On Oct. 10, the veteran performer posted a warning: “Ladies- remember any man that says ALL of his exes are crazy, is not worth the drama because eventually you’ll be labeled that too no matter what you do or don’t.”
Then came the disclaimer, followed immediately by its opposite: “This message isn’t about anyone in particular but if you think it’s about you. Wear that shoe!!!😂🤣”

It’s the oldest subtweet format there is, the general statement with a wink, and D’Aire delivers it with three exclamation points and two laughing emoji.
The advice itself is time-tested. Therapists, aunts and best friends everywhere have said a version of it for decades: if every past relationship ended with the other person being the problem, the common denominator may be worth a second look.
The shoe line is the keeper. “If the shoe fits” has been updated for the age of the vague post, and it now comes with an instruction to put it on.
The post came hours after D’Aire shared a more personal reflection with followers, calling the summer “one of the hardest of my life.” She didn’t name anyone in either post, and we won’t speculate.
What she did offer was a reminder that’s hard to argue with. Watch how someone talks about the people who came before you, because you might be next.
Consider this column filed. Readers who feel targeted know what to do with the shoe.
