Kim Kardashian Worries Women ‘Don’t Want To Work’ Then Gets Slammed Online

Kim Kardashian became the target of heavy internet ire Wednesday when Variety released an interview with the reality star and beauty mogul promoting her family’s new Hulu series The Kardashians.

“I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f––king ass up and work,” Kardashian said, as her siblings and mother Kris Jenner nodded along. “It seems like nobody wants to work these days.” She also added that “you have to surround yourself with people that want to work. Have a good work environment where everyone loves what they do because you have one life. No toxic work environments, and show up and do the work.”

Kardashian’s comments sparked outrage for multiple reasons. First of all, the general condescending line that people just aren’t successful because they’re lazy is a tale as old as time. Even though Kardashian has certainly worked to develop her brand and businesses, critics pointed out that she flat-out ignored the step up she received from having a privileged upbringing and being already close to fame with notable parents and early friendships with people like Paris Hilton.

The model’s message of the importance of “no toxic work environments,” also prompted clap-backs from people reportedly employed by the family in the past. Beauty writer Jessica DeFino responded to the quote saying that while working for the Kardashians she “could only afford groceries from the 99 cents store,” while working days, nights and weekends.


One user also responded to Kardashian by simply posting screenshots of old unpaid internship postings for a company affiliated with the family, Jenner Communications.

 


But it’s not just anecdotal Twitter stories. Kim herself is still facing a suit filed in May 2021 where seven workers employed to clean and maintain her home accused her of wage theft, firing an employee for complaining, not allowing breaks, and even alleged violation of child labor laws. Kardashian denied responsibility for the issues because she hired the workers through a “vendor.” and “she is not responsible for how the vendor manages their business.”
