KIM Kardashian has responded to controversial comments she made about women’s work ethic.
The reality star previously told women to “get your f**king a** up and work” during an interview with Variety.
Now following harsh backlash, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum is responding.
She explained to Good Morning America host Robin Roberts: “It wasn’t a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don’t respect the work or think that they don’t work hard. I know that they do.
“It was taken out of context, but I’m really sorry if it was received that way.”
The backlash began when Kim and her sisters Khloe, 37, and Kourtney, 42, as well as their mom Kris Jenner, 66, spoke to Variety about their new Hulu show and a number of other topics.
While on set of the cover photoshoot, Kim shared advice for women that want to succeed in business.
She said: “I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f**king a** up and work.”
Kim continued: “It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
After Kris and Kourtney agreed with Kim’s statement, she added: “You have to surround yourself with people that want to work.
“Have a good work environment where everyone loves what they do because you have one life.
“No toxic work environments and show up and do the work.”
Khloe chimed in: “If you’re the smartest person in that room, you’ve gotta go to another room.”
FANS GO OFF
Fans were quick to react and ripped the famous family, as one said: “They have no idea how the ‘real’ world works. Many women aren’t able to get the babysitters and luxury things in their everyday life, that they have.”
Another added: “”She sounds so ignorant!! Not many people can choose a healthy work environment!
“Like shut up if you don’t know what a real, every day, corporate America looks like.”
HOLLYWOOD SHADE
Kim’s comments even reached the 94th Academy Awards as co-host Regina Hall decided to throw shade at the star while handing out some tongue-in-cheek advice to Dame Judi Dench.
Walking through the audience, Regina, 51, said: “Dame Judi Dench… we have an inspirational quote for you.”
“You know because you didn’t win tonight”, added co-host Wanda Skyes.
Regina continued: “A quote from Kim Kardashian… work harder”
Both Dame Judi and the rest of the audience began to burst out laughing over the snarky comment.
