Kim Kardashian is facing backlash on social media today after a clip showed her giving advice to “women in business”, telling them to “get off their ass and get to work”.
The reality star turned billionaire said in an interview with Diversity: “Seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
The clip has since gone viral on Twitter, with a flurry of tweets calling out her privilege and wealthy beginnings.
One Twitter user called her advice “tone deaf,” while others have been skeptical about her legitimacy as an entrepreneur.
Kardashian is the daughter of the late Robert Kardashian, a high-profile attorney who was best known for defending OJ Simpson. She personally became famous in the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, alongside her siblings and “mom” Kris Jenner.
Earlier this year, Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague was also criticized for her ‘Thatcherite’ comments about social class.
Speaking to Dragon Den star Steven Bartlett on his Diary Of A CEO podcast, she said: “When I’ve spoken about this in the past, I’ve been hit on a bit, with people saying, ‘It’s easy for you to say that . , you didn’t grow up in poverty, you didn’t grow up with big money problems, so to sit down and say that we all have the same 24 hours in a day is not correct.”
Hague is currently the “creative director” of fast fashion brand Pretty Little Thing and is paid a reported £500,000 a year. She has also landed countless sponsorship deals since appearing on the hit ITV show in 2019.
This caused a stir on social media, who questioned the 22-year-old’s views on ‘hard work’, as well as her role in Pretty Little Thing.
