I believe that OP meant that his ex-wife HAS a very public asshole.

I agree. Kim has her faults but I don't recall a time when she has been an asshole to anyone. I think this shows that the commenter is biased and doesn't have the full picture.

  I certainly do not. Though I was under the impression that her entire brand was showcased on a show where they went over the top being vain, petty, and brandishing the biggest ego's they could muster?

  Crypto scams are bad. your second link can't be taken seriously by people capable of critical thinking and undermines your credibility.

  Oh no, not cultural appropriation! How absolutely dare she!

She's a no-talent clown who bought her way into the public view with nepotistic wealth. She heavily uses photoshop on her pictures, and then sells beauty products to insecure young women to profit off the insecurities her digital media team helped manufacture. Her brand is basically just 'stupid and rich' - not someone I'd ever want any of the young women I care about to idolize. Her fame is a shame of American society: her rise is emblematic of the shift, away from talent, to wealth being the primary factor in modern cultural prominence.

  > She heavily uses photoshop on her pictures, and then sells beauty products to insecure young women to profit off the insecurities her digital media team helped manufacture. This describes the whole "beauty" industry. I think this might be a case of "don't hate the player, hate the game". There are also plenty of other celebrities whose success amounts to appearing on some reality TV show and building an empire off of that. Kim Kardashian is not remarkable in this regard, but seems to get more hate than average.

    I think the majority of beauty industry 'personalities' are assholes. Some are finding success without manufacturing insecurity though, so I don't think it has to be table stakes.

    don't hate the player, hate the game I think it's perfectly sensible to hate the players that perpetuate the game. It's nothing more than a very weak version of the Nuremberg defense.

  So, nothing, basically. You just don't like her, which is fine, but this is a list of zeros.

On the flip she has been doing a lot of advocacy for prison reform and is apprenticing to become a lawyer in California, seemingly to that end. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/arts/television/kim-kardashian-prison-reform.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/arts/television/kim-karda...

  > and is apprenticing to become a lawyer in California She's been working on that for nearly four years. And only just passed the 'baby bar' exam this year (The baby bar exam is the exam California gives -first year- law students. It requires a score of 70% to pass. Kardashian has taken four years, and four attempts, to pass the equivalent of the first year of law school). Much as I hate to say it, those whose lives would be bettered by meaningful prison reform would probably get more out of her doing publicity and fundraising and using her celebrity status to that end, rather than becoming an attorney.

  Her dad, of course, was famously a defence lawyer in California…
