Reality TV megastar Kim Kardashian paid an astounding $1 million to fly her friends and family on a private jet to Marlon Brando’s private island resort in French Polynesia.
Kardashian’s tone-deaf Instagram post about how she has been “humbly reminded of how privileged” her life is, sparked enormous criticism online from everyday Americans, who unlike the Kardashians, have been dramatically impacted by pandemic.
Kim’s Post
Kardashian posted photos of her friends and family celebrating at a lavish resort without social distancing, along with a message that read: “40 and feeling so humbled and blessed. There is not a single day that I take for granted, especially during these times when we are all reminded of the things that truly matter.”
Commenter Backlash
One user replied, “this is quite literally the most tone deaf thing you’ve ever posted (kimono aside).” Another follower said, “did the pandemic go away?! Omg wish someone would’ve told me we could have massive parties.”
Read the Room
Another commented, “read the room. People are dying.” One follower said, “lmao reading this as half of my office got laid off today.”
Off with Her Head
One user likened Kardashian’s tone-deafness to a former out of touch monarch’s: “Your version of “let them eat cake” is beyond cruel. In the end, it never ends well for the Marie Antoinettes of the world.”
The utter cluelessness and lack of awareness of the struggle that 99.9% of the people on earth are currently going through right now is disgusting. Your version of “let them eat cake” is beyond cruel. In the end, it never ends well for the Marie Antoinettes of the world pic.twitter.com/QLEEAAt11o

Vote
In her final post flaunting birthday pics, she tried to pivot her messaging to encourage voters. “Now that I have your attention… this is a reminder to vote.” But fans weren’t impressed. “Girl please cut it out this was another excuse for you to post vacay selfies and rub it in people’s faces.”
Memes
The internet was so outraged by the privilege of Kim’s post, that it inspired viral memes mocking her message:
“After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.”

Here we go again with this Mama Mia inspired mockery.

Fyre Festival
Kim’s island was as lux as advertised, unlike Ja Rule and Billy McFarland’s fraudulent Bahamian festival.

Parasite
Kardashian’s birthday wasn’t the horror show of the Academy Awards Best Picture Parasite.

Looking at all the silicone in that picture makes me want to but shares in duPont.
Humbled?! Is she kidding? She might want to get a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word!
Their bodies don’t look natural. Their hips are overloaded with boot. Not only that, but their swanky party certainly didn’t help their political agenda. Oh well, no loss.
…prolly the only orivate island big enough to accommodate her fat arse…
But wait, these idiots commenting on her must follow her on Twitter or some other social media which is how she got her fame and fortune so it was those idiots that gave her all her money and now they are mad at her for spending it? Fools outing themselves as the fools that they are, now that is entertaining. Having not followed anyone on social media I would not understand the lemming effect in play today with the mindless masses, but to be mad at someone for exploiting yourselves for financial gain is not her problem, its yours.
