Kim Kardashian faces backlash over luxury birthday gift post
(Web News)Kim Kardashian has found herself at the center of online criticism after sharing a video showcasing her extravagant birthday gifts on social media.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star turned 45 this month and celebrated her birthday in Paris, where she shared glimpses of her celebrations through TikTok.
In one of the videos, Kim revealed that her mother, Kris Jenner, had gifted her two exclusive handbags from the luxury brand Hermès.
Kim appeared in her Paris hotel room dressed in grey SKIMS pajamas while showing her followers the high-end gifts, including a red crocodile Birkin bag designed by Jean Paul Gaultier and reportedly valued between $150,000 and $200,000.
She mentioned that this particular bag had been on her wish list for some time but she missed the chance to buy it due to her busy law studies.
However, the video took a surprising turn when Kim recalled that her mother had previously purchased the same bag for her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, as a birthday present. In a light-hearted but slightly irritated tone,
Kim said that her mother “gave away my swag and then acted like she never heard of it before.”
While Kim later acknowledged that her mother gifted her a similar red Birkin and another Hermès Kelly Cut clutch worth around $30,000, the tone of the video drew mixed reactions from social media users.
Some felt she appeared ungrateful or dismissive toward her mother’s efforts, while others defended her comments as playful sibling banter.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) criticized the reality star for “boasting” about expensive items at a time when many people are struggling financially.
One user commented that she seemed “out of touch,” while another said she should have shown “more appreciation” for her mother’s gesture.
Despite the backlash, the beauty mogul appeared unbothered as she continued her birthday festivities, attending a glamorous celebration at the Crazy Horse cabaret club in Paris.
