Kim Kardashian Made a Joke About Weight Loss and Everyone Lost Their Minds

Everyone has an opinion about the Kardashians, and those opinions aren't always the most positive. This may be because we are so inundated with information on every single one of them, and with five daughters, Kris Jenner has built up quite the army of content creators. And while it can be exhausting, they don’t always deserve criticism over every single little thing that gets blasted across their various social media platforms. Let’s take Kim Kardashian as an example. Kim is currently in trouble for making a joke on Twitter that everyone is taking way too seriously. On Tuesday night she tweeted, “The flu can be an amazing diet. So happy it came in time for the Met lol #6lbsdown.”

OK, so maybe this was a silly thing to say, if you consider people who are losing weight because they’re desperately ill.

It’s a very unpleasant experience, and no one can seriously think that Kim is suggesting this as a fitness regimen. For one thing, your waistline might be smaller, but your skin and hair look terrible after the flu, and she is all about her glowing, dewy complexion. Still, if Kim posted this comment hoping for some sympathetic responses, that’s definitely not what happened:

Once again, the Internet overreacts to something Kim Kardashian said. It’s enough to make you sick.
