Kim Kardashian West mocked for having a birthday party on private island
Kim Kardashian West, reality show star turned entrepreneur is being mocked over social media for having a birthday party on a private island.
Social media users accused her of being “tone deaf” after spending her 40th birthday on a private island with a large group of family and friends.
It all started after the reality TV superstar shared the details of her 40th birthday celebration at an undisclosed location, a private island, with her 67.1 million followers on social media by posting photos from the event in a series of tweets.
“40 and feeling so humbled and blessed. There is not a single day that I take for granted, especially during these times when we are all reminded of the things that truly matter”, she said adding, “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.”
“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,” Kim Kardashian wrote on Twitter.
“We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more. I realize that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now, so in moments like these, I am humbly reminded of how privileged my life is,” she further added.

But that was not acceptable for many as for them the trip was “insensitive” to families separated by Covid-19 and being effected by pandemic.
I said goodbye to my sister over the phone as she was dying, we went/did anything for our bdays, MILLIONS ill, 227K DEAD, chaos in the streets, criminal president & Marie Antoinette shares her self-indulgent island party & we can't have fam for Thanksgiving. But whatever. pic.twitter.com/PGUT6oHDmU

This is so grotesque. The rich can pretend to be normal on a private island. Actual normal people are cancelling their Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Good for you. I lost four months of pay, still tied up with unemployment and have seen a significant drop in future earnings.

I’m helping my daughters with childcare and virtual school for my granddaughter. Still haven’t gotten my 2019 tax return.
Glad you had fun.
