There seems to be a lot of confusion out there about who is and who isn’t a side chick in Hollywood these days. And it can be tough to get clear on the facts when you’re living in the limelight. But when these things happen in your relationship, they could be signs that you might be a side chick.

You’re Always Saying “We’re Just Friends”
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may have thought they were just friends, but sometimes you’re too close to a situation to see the truth. Unfortunately for Amber Rose, she was far enough from the situation to see that Kanye was falling for someone else.

After being the culprit in several extra-marital affairs, Sienna Miller tried to change the side chick game completely by saying that if cheating men get away scott free, so should cheating women: “We say we want to be equal, but men don’t sit around bitching at each other.

You’re Next In Line
One of the biggest twists in the infamous Joseline-Stevie-Mimi love triangle was finding out that before Joseline was the side chick to Mimi Faust, Mimi Fasut was a side chick to another woman.
