‘Flintstone-looking c**p’: Internet reacts to Kim Kardashian’s $3k Roberto Cavalli top she put on sale after trolls attacked her luxury spends
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian has listed a vintage Roberto Cavalli top on Kardashian Kloset for $2,995 amid criticism over "flaunting" her wealth. The 42-year-old business mogul and her siblings have come under fire several times for listing expensive items on their resale site. Kim shared a few new additions to the Kardashian Kloset on Friday, February 10, via her Instagram Story. The celebrity also listed many blouses, pairs of sunglasses, and other accessories in the Kloset. Fans couldn't help but notice that one of the pieces was a rare vintage Roberto Cavalli shirt with a price tag of $2,995.
The shirt has a qipao-like fit and seems to be made of leather or material resembling leather. It has a large dragon on the side and over part of the chest. Amid criticism for her displays of riches, Kim published a link to Kardashian Kloset. The celebrity received criticism for trying to get admirers to spend money on an expensive item from her SKKN collection, as reported by The Sun.

'Ugly' and 'Overpriced'
The Hulu star was criticized for encouraging her followers to buy a product they deemed "ugly" from the skincare company just days before she listed her overpriced apparel. The Kardashians star recommended several items, some of which cost as high as $367. Some detractors thought it was ugly, while others said at least one of the objects resembled Stonehenge.
Earlier this week, Kim posted the items on her Instagram Story, captioning the post as "The ultimate wish list. Forward these gift ideas to your Valentine." Kim displayed many additional gray-colored products in the following picture, including a face cream, a vanity bag, The Basics 3-Piece Bundle — which includes a cleanser, a toner, and a face cream — and a vanity tray. On Reddit, the line received harsh criticism from users. One wrote, "I can’t get over how ugly these are omg." While another added: "Why doesn’t she use her platform to talk about the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria instead of pushing people to buy her Stonehenge-looking products?" A third chimed in: "Truly is some Flintstone-looking crap." "Nothing says ‘I love you’ more than a bunch of assorted beige items that cost $600," Yet another said in jest.
Faced backlash
Kim faced backlash last year for hiring a pianist to play Christmas music in their living room every morning over the holiday season for her four children. She shared a video in December of her ornately adorned Christmas tree and a musician performing on her baby grand piano. She captioned her post: "It's that time of the year... @philthekeys comes over every morning to wake my kids up by playing the piano while the mad morning rush is happening to calm their little souls and fill it with beautiful Christmas songs."
Fans were outraged by the custom and expressed their disgust online. "Isn't it so out of touch to have a pianist in your home for Christmas days? Kim uses every type of paid help at her house," one comment read. "She does realize that all her kids probably want is for her to make them some pancakes, give them a hug, and actually spend time with them right?" another chimed in. A third commented: "Like what kid gives a s**t about a man who they don’t know playing the piano for them?"
