This “hypocritical” comment has ignited on all social platforms.
This remark has also sparked response from her previous employees who've called her insensitive to the troubles non-famous people around the world face in the workforce.
Get your f*ing ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days. You have to surround yourself with people that want to work.
I was an editor on the Kardashian apps in 2015 in LA, worked days nights & weekends, could only afford groceries from the 99 Cents Only Store, called out “sick” more than once bc I couldn’t put gas in my car to get to the office, & was reprimanded for freelancing on the side ❤️ https://t.co/mzvnTomjS3

Kim clarified in an interview with Good Morning America that her words were taken out of context.
Her clarification was as follows: "It wasn't a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don't respect the work or think that they don't work hard. I know that they do."
Some fans took it with a grain of salt but others aren’t letting this comment slip.

Kim further explained that she was frustrated with a question that the interviewer had asked before the work advice question.
Thus, she ended up answering more forcefully than she had meant to.
“That statement that I said was without questions and conversation around it, and it became a soundbite really with no context," Kim said.
Proceeding with an apology, Kim later mentioned: "Having a social media presence and being on a reality show does not mean overnight success, and you have to really work hard to get there, even if it might seem like it's easy and that you can build a really successful business off of social media," she said. "And you can, if you put in a lot of hard work."
