Kim Kardashian receives negative reactions from some netizens after announcing a large donation of lingerie to victims affected by the Los Angeles wildfires

On January 10, Kim Kardashian announced on Instagram Story about her support for the recovery from the wildfires in Los Angeles, California, USA.

“We are donating to the Los Angeles Fire Foundation to provide vital resources to the heroic first responders who are protecting our city. Additionally, we are donating a large amount of underwear, clothes, and socks to Baby2Baby (a non-profit organization that provides diapers, clothes, and other basic necessities to children in need) to help those displaced by the fires,” the 45-year-old reality TV star said.

In another post, Kim “super butt” sent condolences to those affected by the fire, pledged to help and called on fans to donate.

Kim’s announcement came after the brand she founded, Skims, was criticized for being “insensitive” for advertising fashion products during the wildfires that broke out in the high-end residential area of ​​Pacific Palisades on the night of January 7.

However, the “fire-fighting” move did not help the billionaire gain sympathy from the public. On the contrary, a part of netizens condemned The Kardashians star for donating impractical items, and was suspected of advertising products.

Netizens commented: “Kim received negative reactions and what did she do with it? She and Kim are donating clothes and lingerie to people who lost everything in the fire. The thing with Kim, we all know her game. By donating clothes for free, she’s also promoting her brand. Plus, every item she donates is tax deductible, meaning she’s not actually losing a dime. Is there any game she wouldn’t do?”, “Other celebrities are donating millions of dollars in cash. Who needs Kim’s lingerie at a time like this?”, “After receiving the lingerie, evacuees can pose on Onlyfans and earn money to buy a new house”, “We don’t want your lingerie, Kim. Do something more practical”…

Not only Kim, her family was also dragged into the controversy. The cause originated from her sister, Khloé Kardashian,’s post on Instagram Story.

On January 9, Khloé revealed that the family donated “hundreds” of meals from the famous Carousel restaurant to firefighters across Los Angeles. The amount they paid for the meals was $2,500.

For many, the above figure is too cheap compared to the net worth of the Kardashian family. The “Hollywood royal family” was criticized for being stingy, taking advantage of the tragedy of the people of Los Angeles to make an image.

The audience expressed their opinion: “They have $1 billion. They give away 0.00025% of their assets. That’s equivalent to a normal person with $10,000 in savings giving $2.50. A normal person wouldn’t brag about that,” “They’ve only raised $2,500 for firefighters’ meals so far. They’re stingy!”, “Billionaires should be ashamed of only donating $2,500, not brag about it. Same as a normal person donating about 25 cents,” “For celebrities, that’s not enough for a trip to a fancy restaurant”…

While many people called on stars to donate more money or build houses for the homeless, some netizens rejected this way of thinking. They said that celebrities have no obligation to help anyone. Charity is based on the spirit of volunteerism, not compulsory, even though the amount of money the Kardashians donated may not be commensurate with the assets they hold.

Some people questioned whether those who attacked the Kardashians actually donated or supported the victims affected by the fire.

Kim and her family were not in danger when the Palisades fire broke out because they live in the Calabasas and Hidden Hills areas of Los Angeles, located northwest of the Palisades.

However, according to TMZ sources on January 9, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and Kris Jenner were all evacuated from the mansion as a precaution. By the evening of the same day, the evacuation order was lifted and they were able to return home.
