Yet another entitled celebrity who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth is offering work advice to regular folk.

Kim Kardashian is facing backlash after statements that echo the opinion many of society’s elite seem to have on working people.


As reported by Buzzfeed, in a short clip of an interview with Variety Kardashian offered this advice to women in business:

“I have the best advice for women in business: "
"Get your f*cking ass up and work."
"It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”

Kardashian was joined by her sisters Khloe, Kourtney and her mother Kris, who all nodded in agreement with her statement.

Her comments come at a time in history where the wealth gap is glaringly clear, and workers around the world have come to the collective realization they are being overworked, poorly treated, and underpaid.

For women specifically, Bloomberg Equality released results of a global study that found women spent an additional 173 hours working unpaid child care in 2021 compared to 59 additional hours by men. Those extra work hours only apply however to people who don't have full-time staffs of housekeepers, nannys, chefs, personal assistants, etc...

Kardashian went on to say:

"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."

People were not impressed by her "wisdom" and voiced their displeasure on Twitter.


They pointed out that Kardashian was born wealthier than most, and so had a leg up when it came to starting her business empire:


She never had to face the hardships and disadvantages that average working class woman does:

Some users felt that these comments were so out of touch and outrageous, that it must be another Kardashian publicity stunt:

The reality is it is nearly impossible for someone to simply work their way into great wealth.

People can work multiple jobs and still live paycheck to paycheck or be homeless.

Generational wealth is a major factor when it comes to most of the millionaires and billionaires who exist today.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
