Kim Kardashian has ruffled the feathers of Black Twitter with her tone-deaf statement regarding women and working.
In a clip from an interview with Variety, the 41-year-old gave a bootstrap speech to young women in business.
“I have the best advice for women in business,” she audaciously said. “Get your f**king ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days. You have to surround yourself with people that want to work.”

Kim even took her bullsh*t a step further and preached about not working in toxic work environments. Sister Kourtney even co-signed with the mother of four when she opined that “nobody wants to work these days.”

The interview quickly went left as the video swiftly circulated on social media. Black Twitter and the rest of the folks on the platform swiftly reminded Kimmy that she should keep her mouth shut when talking about work.
Amanda Walujono reminded Kim and her family that although the clan has a combined net worth of over $2 billion, they were more than willing not to pay interns for their work.

Another person dropped a screenshot of a former employee who couldn’t afford to buy groceries or gas when she worked for the Kardashians in 2015.

Black Twitter would have been remiss if the delegation didn’t add additional receipts to obliterate further the reality star’s ill-conceived take on “work.”
Kim was reminded that her “work” included stealing $120,000 from a Black woman, Sonja Norwood (singer Brandy’s mother), in 2007 and 2008 to fund the family’s ill-fated Dash Boutique.

As the comment section grows, maybe the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star will read them and buy a clue.
