Kim Kardashian Slammed By Fans Over This Insensitive Diet Joke

The internet is officially losing it at Kim Kardashian today over this ridiculous and totally insensitive statement.

In a since-deleted tweet, the reality star joked: “The flu can be an amazing diet. So happy it came in time for the Met lol #6lbsdown”

Despite deleting the original, Kim shared a second re-tweet of her outfit with the caption “flu got me like…”

The internet, ever a fan of dragging the Kardashian-Jenner clan, reacted quickly and they are PEEVED. While some people found the humorous side to Kim’s strange tweet, other’s pointed out that the flu is not quite so glamorous for those who can’t afford healthcare/die from it!
