During a Variety interview, when asked her advice for women in business, Kim Kardashian uttered these famous last words: "I have the best advice for women in business. Get your fu%*ing ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
As a woman raised with immense privilege who shot to fame in a way that many consider not hard work at all, this remark garnered a huge backlash from the public. It also brought to light claims from former employees who state that the Kardashian family would not pay them for their labor. During a time in which American productivity is the highest it's ever been, while wages have not kept up with inflation, does Kim Kardashian have a point? Do people really not want to work these days? Given her background, is it her place to speak on who works hard and who doesn't?
