Kim Kardashian is under fire after a comment she made during a recent interview with Variety was deemed vapid by the public.
In an Actors on Actors series discussion with Chloe Sevigny, the reality TV sensation let slip an offhand remark that did not sit well with her audience.
The full cover story interview published by Variety showcased the interactions between Chloë Sevigny, 49, and Kim Kardashian, 43, where they conversed about their acting experiences.
The article, accompanied by a video, led to Kardashian being criticized online after stating, “We can never drive down in a Rolls-Royce in Beverly Hills these days. All the shopping bags out? You’d get robbed.”
Fans were quick to express their distaste for what they perceived as Kim’s out-of-touch statements, notwithstanding the upscale nature of Beverly Beauaty Hills.
While discussing the film Troop Beverly Hills, Kim lamented over the bygone days when one could flaunt their wealth more freely. This led to Chloe Sevigny, a ’90s indie film star, awkwardly grinning through the conversation.
Social media response ranged from critical to sarcastic, with some fans upset about Kim sharing the screen with the esteemed actress, Chloë Sevigny.
The irony of Kim’s comments stands out even more considering her own traumatic robbery incident in Paris during 2016.
