Haters are slamming Kim Kardashian for acting “like she’s middle class” and “complaining” about her struggles as a single mum.
The Kardashians star – who shares children North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4, with her ex-husband Kanye West – said on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast on Monday that parenting is “really f***ing hard”.
However, some listeners were quick to question how involved Kardashian, a billionaire, really is with her four kids, Page Six reports.
“She also talks as if she doesn’t have a full staff of people helping her,” one person commented on YouTube.
“Kim has four nannies, one assigned to each kid. Motherhood is not hard. Nannies are raising her kids. She needs stop trying to act like she’s middle class,” another wrote.
“She has nannies and a lot of support in comparison to the average woman, and yet she still complains,” a third said.
“So much fakeness and contrived drama in their lives. Has so much background help from nannies. You would swear she does it all alone,” someone else wrote.
The Skims founder, 42, and her sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner all reportedly employ nannies to help raise their children.
While the businesswoman got some hate for her podcast appearance, many fans appreciated and related to her candid remarks.
“Loyalty to her family, friends and loved ones is the one thing I most respect about Kim, as well as the patience and forgiveness she has for people, even those who have made mistakes or wronged her. It’s really admirable,” one of the top YouTube comments read.
“She’s so well spoken and has said beautiful and really wise things here! I admire her. It’s exactly what she said – people pick and choose what they want and people choose to hate her no matter what and I think she’s a beautiful, smart and really resilient woman,” another wrote.
Throughout the episode, the Hulu personality detailed the challenges she faces as a single parent.
“There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy sh*t, this f***ing tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?” she told Shetty.
“You know, with all the moods and the personalities, and sometimes they’re fighting, and you know, there’s no one there,” she added.
“Like, it’s [just] me to play good police officer and bad cop.”
The mum-of-four also noted she is working on “being a little bit firmer” with her brood.
“It is the most rewarding job in the entire world. It is. There is nothing that can prepare you,” she said.
“I don’t care how long you wait. I don’t care what you’re waiting for. You are never prepared.
“But you will figure it out, and it will make you so proud of yourself that you figured it out and that you got through the day.”
Kardashian filed for divorce from West, 45, in February 2021 after almost seven years of marriage.
Despite months of highly publicised attempts on West’s part to win back his former wife, a judge declared the reality star legally single in March 2022.
The pair’s divorce settlement last November gave them “equal access” to their kids, with the Stronger rapper paying $US200,000 ($A300,000) a month in child support.
