Kim Kardashian is somehow still learning her words can be easily twisted. The reality television star, who has a 1-year-old daughter named North with new husband Kanye West, is caught up in a kerfuffle because of some off-the-cuff maternity style advice.
It all started during a recent interview Kim and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney did at an Operation Shower charity event. An excerpt from Elle :
Can I ask you about pregnancy style: what you recommend and how you define your style?
Kim: I recommend hiding for a good year and having no pregnancy style. That’s what I recommend. If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house.
Khloe: Okay, well that’s not practical. Give a different answer.
Kim: That’s really my recommendation. Wear a huge blanket.
A look back at Kim Kardashian's maternity style selections during her pregnancy with daughter North West:
Some were put off by Kim Kardashian's remarks, and took to social media to let her know. Addressing the drama in a serious of tweets, the woman who's no stranger to controversy wrote, "I guess you can't be sarcastic when doing interviews! I was asked about tips on pregnancy style.
"I jokingly said pregnant woman should hide/stay in if they looked like I did lol. I said ask Kourt her tips bc she has the best preg style...I really should start video taping the interviews I do & post on my website so u can see the laughs & how it's really said."
Perhaps that really isn't the worst idea, because I see two possible things going on here -- neither of which really necessitate a backlash against Kim.
Number one: Sarcasm. It's easier heard than read, I know, but I thought it was fairly obvious here. Also, how about a little benefit of the doubt?
Number two: Let's not forget Kim was put through the ringer as she grew during her pregnancy. Her every style choice was commented on and critiqued. I can't imagine being able to take in online verbal abuse on a daily basis, not to mention while with heightened hormones.
Is this a case of people being too hard on a celebrity mom or no?
