Kim Kardashian has sparked fresh debate online after admitting she doesn’t know the cost of a milk carton. The internet personality faced public scrutiny for her comment, which many viewers felt highlighted how disconnected some celebrities can seem from everyday life. Kardashian’s remark drew mixed reactions across social media.
Kim Kardashian saying she doesn’t know the cost of a milk carton has got the fans talking
Kardashian’s recent appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast didn’t garner the publicity she might have expected. The social media personality received severe backlash from fans after admitting she didn’t know the price of a milk carton.
“I mean, I don’t have a concept of what certain simple things cost,” Kardashian, 44, laughingly said during the October 15 episode of Cooper’s show. “You know, I’d like to know a little bit more about what a milk carton costs,” she added.
What seemed like a harmless revelation at first quickly turned into an insensitive one, with fans highlighting how out of touch with reality some celebrities appear to be.
Comments across social media platforms called out Kardashian for her entitled, tone-deaf statement, emphasizing that it was not a flex but sheer ignorance.
“Do you know how rich you gotta be to even be able to say a sentence like this?” one X user commented. “Kim Kardashian’s best guess at what basic things cost to us common folk,” wrote another.
The Skims founder, however, had other fans coming to her defense.
“People are hating on this like it’s not everyone’s goal to be able to buy what you need, when you need it, and not have to think about what it costs,” one fan argued on X. Another commented, “Must be nice to live this way.”
Cooper’s podcast also features The Kardashians star discussing her divorce from ex-husband Kanye West and how his mental health struggles played a significant role in it.
