'Born rich' Kim Kardashian slammed for telling women to 'get your f**king ass up and work'
In an interview with Variety, Kim Kardashian shared her 'advice' for women in business which didn't go down well with many. The SKIMS mogul said, "I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f--king ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days." Kim dropped her pearls of wisdom while promoting The Kardashians show after being recently declared legally single.
Many were enraged and lambasted the 41-year old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star for being 'born rich'. Calling Kim 'tone deaf', journalist Soledad O'Brien said, "Also: be born rich. Really helps."
Kim's father Robert Kardashian was an American attorney and businessman who moved around in the elite circles of LA. He was a friend of OJ Simpson and became famous during the murder trial in 1995.

Jessica DeFino, who was an editor on the Kardashian apps in 2015, said, "I was an editor on the Kardashian apps in 2015 in LA, worked days nights & weekends, could only afford groceries from the 99 Cents Only Store, called out “sick” more than once bc I couldn’t put gas in my car to get to the office, & was reprimanded for freelancing on the side ❤️"
She added, "The wildest thing about that job: I saw firsthand how the most famous women in the world Frankensteined an impossible standard of beauty, pushed the rest of us to “keep up” with them, weaponized that standard of beauty to sell products, and *still* never felt good enough."

Another said, "Kim Kardashian, a famous person without any career or job history is telling regular hard-working females to 'Move their fucking asses and work' like she has worked a single day in her entire life lol".
One user said, "This is rich coming from Kim Kardashian who has never worked a “hard” work day in her life. Can rich people leave us alone? You’re oozing with privilege. Getting recorded while you eat salad on camera isn’t work numbnuts."
Another said, "Love Kim Kardashian berating women who don't want to "work" when she was born into high society in LA and benefited greatly from the privilege that provided the platform for her to continue poaching from Black women originators. You just can't make this shit up!"
One user challenged, "I just want to see Kim Kardashian work a minimum wage job for one week, without any of her staff helping her out. She’d be in tears two hours in."
