Why Do We Hate The Kardashians So Much?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LMU chapter.

Why do people hate the Kardashians/Jenners so much? This was the question I had as I was reading through some of the incredibly offensive, disturbing, and disgusting comments people leave on the their Instagram photos.  What have they done so wrong that they deserve such a profound level of hatred? They have not done anything illegal, or said or done anything impermissible. They have been living their lives without hurting anyone or anything, so why all the hate? From what I understand, it is because people believe that they are only rich because of Rob’s and Bruce (now Caitlyn’s) money, and famous because of Kim’s now infamous sex tape from years ago.

While the tape may have increased the fame of the family, and the money certainly has help them, they have accomplished so much in these last few years, and not just living off of someone else’s money or fame. The Kardashian/Jenner women are all working hard to be successful just like everyone else in the world. Modeling, designing clothes, TV shows, apps, lip kits, and a handbag line, the various forms of work they do shows their desires to take on any challenge presented to them. These ladies deserve what they have because they have been determined and diligent in what they do.

I am not asking for anyone to suddenly become the Kardashian/Jenner clan’s biggest fan, but I am asking you to reevaluate why you hate them so much when they have done nothing wrong.
