Kim Kardashian Blasted For Telling Women to Work
Breaking: Another rich person has made an absolute fool of themselves by telling people - and more specifically, women - that they need to work harder. And we doubt anyone is surprised to hear that this time it's Kim Kardashian.
The 41 year old billionaire is under fire on Twitter for a tone deaf comment tweeted by Variety in promotion of a just-released article about her family's upcoming reality series on Hulu. It's supposed to be Women's History Month, and the last thing working women want to hear is that they're not working hard enough. It's a damaging erasure of all the single mothers struggling to put food on the table, and completely insulting to people who simply haven't had the same opportunities as someone like Kardashian, who was born into a famous family with millions of dollars to spare.
Discourse regarding privilege and nepotism has been very much alive in recent months, and Kardashian's comments are only adding fuel to the raging fire. In this video, shared by Variety in their Instagram stories, Kim really digs a deeper hole for herself, saying "It seems like nobody wants to work these days," with one of her vapid sisters replying "That's so true" in the background.
As a woman who works very long hours and only makes enough to live in a small apartment - with roommates - this stuff really makes my blood boil. And I'm far from alone.

Twitter users were very quick to chime in with their own thoughts on the family's infuriatingly patronizing tone - with some going as far as to reveal the family's heinous treatment of their employees.

In response to Kim's "no toxic work environments" comment in the above Instagram story, this Twitter user simply shared one of the family's listings for an *unpaid* internship.
Interns often work harder than actual employees. This treatment is pretty disgusting.

As @DoctorDome1 points out, this is probably an incredibly damaging thing for single mothers to hear. There are sadly many women who work two or three jobs just to put food on the table. Wake up, Kim.

Many responses served as reminders that the Kardashians are not, in fact, self-made billionaires.
They were born rich.

Even the Working Families Party had to roast this stupidity.

Dan Price defended Kim's work ethic, while still pointing out that hard work isn't really a good litmus test for success.

One of the most startling responses comes from Jessuca DeFino, who was an editor on the family's apps.
Guess working hard isn't actually enough for the Kardashians, after all.
