For the interview, Kim, 43, spoke to Maverick Carter for a SpringHill talk on YouTube.
The duo spoke about Kim building her career from closet organizer to the Forbes rich list, with Mav remarking: “Our tag line is ‘Make it until you make it,’ and you just keep going.”
Reality television star Kim responded: “But I do also love the ‘Fake it ’til you make it,’ because I think if you are a person that is not happy, or is depressed and you can’t get up to – don’t have that drive – to work.
“If you’re faking that you’re happy and you’re at least putting out that energy that you are happy, you will feel that, you will get there. I always have really felt that.”
Many viewers saw Kim’s words as her “dismissing” depression and mental illnesses, and also pointed out her luxury lifestyle.
On Reddit, one fan wrote: “I’m gonna let you all watch Kim new interview but one thing she says which is f**ked up if you’re unhappy or depressed you should just fake being happy fake it to you make it… WTF shows she has zero clue on reality.”
Another reponded: “Kim has always been dismissive of mental health. She is cruel and condescends to her own family – treats any mental health issues/symptoms they have as ‘not being strong enough.'”
A third Kardashians follower agreed: “Kim definitely thinks she is better than all the people who have mental illnesses. And it’s disgusting… She has no clue about real life because she’s lived in a privileged wealthy bubble her whole life.”
“Yeah, she has a vile sense of superiority when she talks about the mental health of people that she deems as just ‘laziness’ and excuses. Truly gross to see,” added a fourth social media user.
Another angry fan blasted: “If I had her money and easy life, I would go on holidays everyday and fake being happy too!”
‘OUT OF TOUCH’
Alongside being slammed for her comments on mental health, Kim also upset fellow parents when she opened up about her family.
The mother of four children – all shared with ex-husband Kanye West, 46 – admitted: “There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy s***, this f***ing tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?”
On Reddit, however, many Kardashian followers were horrified by Kim’s comments after they considered the access she has to help from staff.
Another responded: “Does she cry herself to sleep before or after her three nannies, housekeepers, and chef have left for the night?”
A second added: “Welcome to being a parent. Now try to do it without any help and a fraction of your money. She’s so out of touch with reality and it shows.”
NOT AGAIN!
Even before upsetting fans with her take on parenting, Kim infuriated critics when she spoke to Variety about business.
The star sassily said: “I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f**king a** up and work.”
“It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
Fans were quick to react and ripped the Skims founder, with one person saying: “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, everyday, corporate America looks like.”
