Actor Jameela Jamil lashed out, saying: “I think if you grew up in Beverly Hills with super successful parents in what was simply a smaller mansion… nobody needs to hear your thoughts on success/work ethic”
Reality TV star and American socialite Kim Kardashian is being criticised on social media for a recent remark of hers, which is basically advice on how women can succeed in business. The 41-year-old has been accused of being tone-deaf and unaware of her own status, which reeks of privilege.
The Kardashians — Kourtney, Kim and Khloe — along with their mother Kris Jenner sat down for an interview with Variety. The women, who have their own business empires, talked about their challenges, being in front of the camera and showcasing their personal life to the world — the good, bad and ugly of it — and the concept of ‘boundaries’, among other things.
Kim, particularly, said something, which was also then tweeted by Variety, which went as: “I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f***ing ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
In the clip, while Kourtney could be heard concurring with her sister, it is no secret that they have had quite a few altercations, with Kim even accusing her for not having a ‘real job’ and for prioritising her children over filming.
The Variety article notes that their new show, ‘The Kardashians‘, will arrive on Hulu on April 14, and may make “America’s reality TV royal family even more rich”. Which is why netizens are fuming on social media and calling out the SKIMS founder for her tunnel-vision opinion on what hard work means.
Actor Jameela Jamil lashed out, tweeting: “I think if you grew up in Beverly Hills with super successful parents in what was simply a smaller mansion… nobody needs to hear your thoughts on success/work ethic. This same 24 hours in the day shit is a nightmare. 99.9% of the world grew up with a VERY different 24 hours. [Sic]”
#kimkardashian A woman with real business sense uplifts, and inspires. Most business women are WORKING 24 hour jobs caring for their kids-no nanny, cooking – no chef, cleaning house -no housekeeper, running errands- no personal assistant & running a business.-educate yourself Kim https://t.co/0He9oc5F6r
