Kim Kardashian’s festive home makeover has been labelled “wasteful” and “out of touch” by fans on stage internet. On Sunday (31 December), Kardashian, 43, revealed she had transformed her Los Angeles mansion into a “winter wonderland” for the festive season. This included a jungle of Christmas trees covered with fake snow – in a video shared on Instagram by Kim.
The short video posted on social media, set to the song “Winter Wonderland” by Babyface, showed the grounds outside her sprawling home in Calabasas were also covered by a thick layer of snow.
In response, several fans said the Skims founder’s “excessive” display of wealth was “out of touch with any reality” in a world where millions are struggling to make ends meet.
Netizens made it to the comment section of the video and called her out for the same. A user wrote, “Wasteful. All of that could’ve fed a few 100 people.” Another user wrote, “Sick of you posting your money flex when we’re all out here struggling.” Another person wrote, “I have mad respect for your family creating a successful dynasty. You are all talented and impressive. But this is just….so out of touch with any reality.”
In the season six episode, her former husband, the NBA player Kris Humphries tossed Kardashian into the water during a vacation in French Polynesia, while she was wearing expensive diamond earrings. She cried after she lost one of the earrings. Fans were reminded of that incident and they spoke about how much she cared about the one earring but is not wasting the double.
