Plenty of people work extraordinarily hard their entire lives, but sometimes even that’s not enough to replace being born into a wealthy family.

[roxvid]

Kourtney: "that's so true." also Kourtney: "Working will never be my priority." Also, kim did whatever Kris booked for her. Kris was the genius behind making 5 untalented women, millionaires.

[cleffie]

She is literally being sued for not paying her workers and creating unsafe work environments

[swetajh]

The day we stop giving these "celebrities" so much importance, we'll be in a better world.

[ariannahaviv]

This isn’t about how much work Kim does.

It’s about the audacity she has as a millionaire to tell other people to work harder, when she has no perspective about how it feels to be lower or middle class. It’s beyond insensitive and condescending.

[Octorocker]

What really rubs me the wrong way is the sheer vehemence Kim complained about “people not wanting to work, ” as if women are just lazy and not fed up with low pay and bad working conditions. I want her say that to a veteran ICU nurse who’s burnt out and wants to retire and and see if she doesn’t get admitted the next minute.

[jamiemckenna]

Let’s be clear. Working when you come from money and working when you come from generational poverty are two different things. She’s out of line.

I find Kim Kardashian's advice to most "regular" women about working and how to work extremely laughable. I don't doubt that Kim K. works hard (she probably does), but, in reality, she's also an extremely rich socialite with an extremely rich family and has a multitude of people assisting her in her businesses.

My mum graduated a year early from high school and graduated from beauty school when she was 18. By age 19, she opened her own hair salon. She worked Tuesday-Saturday 8AM-6PM, she worked on all the clients, mixed the colour, answered the phone, etc. - many days going without lunch. Dad was quite a bit older than mum and took the equally difficult job of "househusband" caring for 3 kids, cleaning, repairing, etc. When an unexpected set of twins came along and joined the family, mum took on an additional part-time job working Sunday and Monday (now working 7 days a week). Once all of us kids were in school, Dad (now age 64) also returned to full-time work, Monday-Friday and continued doing so until age 75. My mum was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at age 55, fought it for 8 years, and passed away at age 63. Dad lived to be 92, with his last 5 years riddled with Alzheimer's and dementia.

I tend to think that my mum (and dad for that matter) would be much better qualified to be the ones offering work advice to regular working women. But that's just my opinion.

[soapa]

Kim is right, you lazy women who have 2-3 jobs, raising kids, sleeping 3-4 hours a night, cooking, cleaning, barely affording basic necessities, need to get up and work 22 hours a day 7 days a week. Great advice.

[silversleeper]

Yeah. All you people with three jobs and yet still living in poverty just don’t want to work anymore.

[wabz.z]

I’m so tired of people talking about “don’t shoot the messenger” … she’s not working class and doesn’t know what it means to work extremely hard with a college degree and still live paycheck to paycheck.

[Makegudart]

“She’s a mom to KANYE and the kids” i bursted out😂

[emilyshapiro]

I’m tired of rich people telling poor people how to be happy and what to prioritize. They have no idea, no clue what it’s like.

[nanochic]

The only part that was accurate was "no toxic work environment". Only thing is, how do you get rid of a toxic work environment when the toxicity is your boss and you don't want to starve🤔

[cancerino]

This woman fully believes she deserves everything she has and that people who don't have are just lazy.

[aditee]

She really said "No toxic work enovronments" as if that's something you have control over and people just actively choose to be in toxic environments 💀💀💀

[auralfixxation]

There's no doubt that her comment was condescending. There are many who have worked hard all their lives and are not close to what she has. Also, she was born into a certain degree of privilege that many never had.

[angelinaoliver]

"The broker you are the harder you work" I've never heard such true words in my life. See the thing is Kim has a whole team that helps her come up with business ideas and on top of that she has some form of financial literacy but she's forgetting that not everyone has the same financial knowledge she does, so yes working hard is important but you also have to work smart and most people haven't found a way to get their money to work for them that is the sad part...

[Thewolverine]

This coming from someone trying to be a lawyer without going to college, but doing part time apprenticeship, and repeated failing the bar exam. I got advice to Kim, from one successful woman:
get off your lazy @$$ study hard and pass the bar already.

[desminquemiller]

I mean she has a nanny, a “personal assistant” a makeup artist, clothing and hair stylist, like I can go on! Cooks, maids like come on! She cannot direct this toward all women! She’s catered and if she had to do regular things we do by ourself that’s a complete norm for us, maybe then she’ll have a clearer understanding !!
