Khloe Kardashian slammed for tweet on Rittenhouse verdict but ignoring Astroworld tragedy

Khloe Kardashian was dubbed 'satanic' for posting skimpy photos right after Travis Scott's Astroworld tragedy

After being dubbed 'satanic' for posting skimpy photos right after Travis Scott's Astroworld tragedy, Khloe Kardashian has again earned the apathy of the internet for her latest tweet. After the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict on November 19, 2021, the 37-year-old Kardashian sister tweeted, "Speechless and disgusted!!" Followers assumed that the reality star was referring to the Rittenhouse verdict and joined the long list of celebs who expressed their displeasure with Rittenhouse being acquitted. 

However, social media users turned on Khloe soon afterward, brutally slamming her 'hypocrisy' for remaining silent on the Astroworld tragedy which involved her sister Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Travis Scott.  Just days after the stampede which claimed 10 lives, Khloe was blasted for posting an array of thirst trap photos on Instagram. She was targeted by trolls after she shared three sultry images of herself, showing off her curves in a sheer catsuit. Since the Good American founder has not offered any condolences to the victims of the "mass casualty" incident on social media, her sexy post seemed to ruffle the feathers of her fans. Meanwhile, Khloe's other sisters, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie, and Kim had all decided to restrict their self-promotional content in the light of the catastrophic incident on November 5.

On November 19, in a shocking turnout of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the 17-year-old accused of fatally shooting two men and injuring one, was found not guilty by the jury. The teenager, whose trial almost divided the nation into two warring fronts in the past few weeks, was acquitted of all charges after days of deliberation. He pleaded self-defense in the 2020 Kenosha shootings, the incident that sparked a global debate on gun control, racial injustice, and the culture of vigilantism in USA. Many celebrities like Ava DuVernay, Better Midler, Patricia Arquette, and others denounced the verdict, along with Khloe Kardashian.

However, the reality star was targetted by users who reminded her of her silence about the Astroworld tragedy. "What are u referring to? The innocent lives that were lost at Travis’s concert, or….????" a user tweeted in response. Another said, "You’ll comment on this but not the Travis Scott concert? Mmmmmmk. Stay in your lane lady."

"Hmmmm... and the tragedy of death and injury at Travis Scott's concert? Where are you weighing in on that? Be careful, you know the whole world is watching! I feel justice was not served in KR trial, will it be in the AstroWorld litigation?" a third user warned.

"Where were your tweets sending condolences to any of the victims at astroworld? I don't see a single one!" a fourth user chimed in.

Khloe has not responded to any of the tweets criticizing her or issued any statement in this regard.
