The Supreme Court on Tuesday, November 10, declined to revisit Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, effectively rejecting former Kentucky clerk Kim Davis’ attempt to overturn it.
Davis, who drew national attention a decade ago when she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious beliefs, had petitioned the high court after being ordered to pay $360,000 in damages and legal fees. The justices denied her appeal without comment, leaving lower-court rulings intact.

Following the decision, the New York Times shared an Instagram post featuring a photo of a person waving a Pride flag outside the Supreme Court, captioned:
“The Supreme Court on Monday denied a request to consider overturning its landmark decision to legalize same-sex marriage a decade ago. The court, without comment, declined a petition filed by Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk who gained national attention in 2015 when she defied a court order and refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses because of her religious beliefs.”
Among the thousands of comments, one from Food Network star Tiffani Faison quickly stood out. The chef — known for finishing 2nd on Top Chef and winning Tournament of Champions season 3 — wrote, "Thrilled to never hear the name Kim Davis ever again. Good luck on your 5th marriage, Kimmie.”

The pointed remark racked up hundreds of likes and drew amused replies from fans. One commenter quipped, “Has she considered marrying a woman? Maybe it would stick this time,” to which Faison, who is gay, fired back, "We don’t want her.”
Other users chimed in with, “Good one,” and “Thank you, I needed that laugh!”
came hours after Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson praised the Court’s decision not to intervene, saying in a statement, “The Supreme Court made clear today that refusing to respect the constitutional rights of others does not come without consequences.”
Davis’ actions in 2015 sparked national controversy when she defied court orders and was briefly jailed for contempt. The Kentucky legislature later changed marriage license procedures to remove county clerks’ names, and Davis lost her bid for reelection in 2018. According to Newsweek, Davis has been married four times.
