Kim K says she was “humbly” reminded of her privilege after sharing details of her private island getaway with a few dozen of her loved ones and per the way a Kardashian-hating social media goes, people are mad.
It was just a week ago that Kim Kardashian rang in her 40th birthday, and to celebrate her big day, the Kardashian-Jenners jet-setted to the Caribbean. Kim shared photos of her island getaway with her loved ones and wrote on Instagram that her sisters recreated her most memorable birthday moments that she’s enjoyed throughout her life. While it all seemed like a great time, per usual many on the internet found a way to be upset with what Kim Kim was doing as she was labeled with being “tone deaf” as she penned a note about getting back her sense of normalcy while on a private island with a few dozen of her closest friends.
For my birthday this year, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend it than with some of the people who have helped shaped me into the woman I am today. pic.twitter.com/sSZVCdbKH9

“For my birthday this year, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend it than with some of the people who have helped shaped me into the woman I am today,” Kim tweeted. “Before COVID, I don’t think any of us truly appreciated what a simple luxury it was to be able to travel and be together with family and friends in a safe environment. 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.”
She wrote about dancing, kayaking, swimming near whales, watching a movie on the beach, and noted that she is “humbly reminded” of her privilege. Unsurprisingly, these tweets caused the masses to implode that they reminded Kim Kardashian that millions are unemployed and facing financial crises as she shares photos of her private island getaway. That prompted not only criticism but an overflow of memes, a few of which I’ve gathered together below. What do you guys think> Was Kim being “tone deaf” or simply living her life?
“I better be in quarantine for a private island, Kim!!!!”

While Rome burned…."Kim Kardashian" is getting away to a private island to get back to "normal", you know…overly indulgent, vacuous, decadent, hedonistic..etc. (a lifestyle that just isn't the same in any of their many mansions).
meanwhile, the rest of us………… pic.twitter.com/yhinPRYWnH— cheryl 🌺 l🌊🌺🌊🌺🌊🕊️ (@1Cleatherman) October 27, 2020
Are you that insensitive you don’t realise this is not what the majority of people during the worst covid spike yet want to hear? People are going to food banks not private islands.

Fuck Kim Kardashian and her untaxed Billionaire Family and her voter syphoning husband.
