'KUWTK': Kourtney says Armenian Genocide Memorial visit wasn't 'enjoyable', fans say enough with the disrespect
Kourtney Kardashian's tone-deaf statements on the latest episode of 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' left fans feeling annoyed with the oldest Kardashian sister. Kourtney and Kim Kardashian take a trip to Armenia to create awareness about the Armenian genocide and to baptize their children. While Kim was enjoying being in her ancestral land and soaking in all of the country’s history and culture, Kourtney was busy snapping at everybody and being miserable in general.
When the sisters step out of their hotel to visit the Armenian Genocide Memorial to pay homage to the martyrs, Kourtney just kept whining about everything. There were several photographers at the venue who were very excited about clicking the famous sisters. Kim graciously agreed to the photo-op requests while Kourtney rudely snapped at the photographer for being in the frame while she was taking a selfie.
Later, Kourtney expresses her displeasure over so many photographers being present at the venue to Kim, and declares that she "hates being a celebrity". Kim just quietly hears her out and tries to explain that their visit is a big deal for the Armenians, but Kourt wasn't having it. She then complains about how she isn’t enjoying the trip and is feeling miserable although she generally enjoys traveling. She then says that the visit to the Armenian Genocide Memorial "wasn’t enjoyable". These two statements from Kourtney were enough to rile up the fans against her.
Fans felt that Kourtney was being ungrateful and reminded her that she might "not like being a celebrity" but she certainly loves all the perks that come with being one.
A fan wrote, "Well Kourtney, u sure do love all the money you’ve made from being a celebrity, and that’s what u signed up for, so suck it up. Your sisters r great about not spitting in the audience’s face, take notes #KUWTK."
Another fan tweeted, "#KUWTK Real Talk Kourtney may not like being a celebrity but I bet she isn't willing to give up the privileges of one. You can't have both! Either walk away completely or work out your issues. Take a much-needed break and regroup. There are people starving and dying n she's wining."
"Kourtney you need a reality check. You are so mistaken. If we take your celebrity away, your life will be so different for instance your website would be done. #KUWTK," pointed out an annoyed fan. Another fan shared, "She don’t like being a celebrity but she like those celebrity CHECKS most people can’t choose between work and spending time w kids so let’s be grateful Kourtney #kuwtk (sic)."
"Kourtney: I don’t like being a celebrity omg the complaining is annoying. Do you know how many people would love that opportunity #kuwtk," questioned a fan.
Fans didn't appreciate Kourtney's insensitive attitude towards the Genocide Memorial either. A fan reminded Kourtney that the visit to the memorial wasn’t supposed to be "enjoyable".
"Kourtney deadass just said the Armenian Genocide Memorial wasn’t exciting... it’s not supposed to be. You’re there to educate your kids on their heritage and bring attention to the need of acknowledgement. #KUWTK," tweeted a fan.
Another fan felt that Kourtney blew up the platform she had for creating awareness about the tragic genocide and instead drew attention to her petty first world problems. "#KUWTK kourtney a memorial is not supposed to be 'enjoyable'. Armenians look up to your family for a voice in the genocide. This is BIGGER than you! Wow it's like this your platform to speak for millions that died & you blew it off like it was a chore a burden (sic)," wrote a fan.
'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' Season 18 airs Thursday nights at 8 pm ET on E!
