Kim Kardashian Vilified as "Toxic and Terrible" for Ridiculous Lollipop Promotion
Kim Kardashian has promoted some very unsavory things over the years:
A waist trainer. A selfie light for one’s phone. Kanye West.
But a handful of social media users are in agreement that Kardashian reached a new low this week via her latest Instagram shill.
On Tuesday, Kim shared a photo of herself sucking on a lollipop.
Was this a way to promote the next Kim Kardashian sex tape? Or to bump up her follower count via a form of seduction?
Nope, neither of the above.
It was a way for Kim to promote a piece of candy that she claimed helped suppress one’s appetite.
We really wish we were kidding.
“You guys… @flattummyco just dropped a new product,” Kardashian wrote as a caption to the following image.
“They’re Appetite Suppressant Lollipops and they’re literally unreal.
“They’re giving the first 500 people on their website 15% OFF so if you want to get your hands on some… you need to do it quick! #suckit.”
SIGH.
Hopefully, we need not explain why this is just a disgusting thing for Kim to write.
For starters, the idea that sucking on a lollipop would suppress one’s appetite is sheer lunacy.
It may even even worse than claiming that cinching a waist trainer around one’s body will help one lose weight.
Second, even if this somehow did work as Kim and the company describe… WHAT THE EFF?!? You should absolutely never suppress your appetite!
Being hungry is your body’s way of saying it needs food and eating food is good for you!!!!!
Thankfully, enough people out there agreed with our assessment of this terrible ad campaign and product that Kim has actually deleted the post.
“Eating disorders are a very real issue for a lot of young people and to see Kim Kardashian actively encouraging her fans to develop an unhealthy relationship with food is terrifying and gravely concerning,” activist Liam Hackett Tweeted.
“You are setting the worst example to girls all over the world. No one should have to feel the need to suppress their appetite to fit to ridiculous beauty standards. So offended right now,” someone else wrote.
And then another:
“Completely irresponsible and a really sad message to be projecting. You can have a fit and healthy body without starving yourself and listening to your body when it needs food.”
Jameela Jamil, an actress on The Good Place and the founder of a social media campaign encourages men and women to focus on achievements other than looks and weight, really laid into Kim.
In response to this ad, she wrote:
No. F— off. No. You terrible and toxic influence on young girls.
I admire their mother’s branding capabilities, she is an exploitative but innovative genius, however this family makes me feel actual despair over what women are reduced to.
And also:
MAYBE don’t take appetite suppressors and eat enough to fuel your BRAIN and work hard and be successful. And to play with your kids.
And to have fun with your friends. And to have something to say about your life at the end, other than ‘I had a flat stomach.’
Amen, Jameela.
(On a related note, The Good Place is positively genius. You should watch it.)
We’ve railed against the Kardashians for years for this same reason.
The sisters continue to set awful examples after they give birth, for instance, by focusing so heavily and so publicly on their need to lose weight as quickly as possible.
Khloe is the latest sibling to bring this topic up again and again and again.
We really wish these stars would use their platform for the promotion of positive body issues, not of the cliche and unhealthy notion that all women must be as thin as humanly possible at all times.
We mean… a lollipop appetite suppressant?!?
WTH is the world coming to?

Kardashians React to Rob Drama with Sexy Selfies, Ice Cream Promotion and a Makeup Tutorial
According to a recent report, the Kardashians are very angry at the moment.
The entire family is basically irate at Rob Kardashian for taking a private feud with Blac Chyna as public as humanly possible, calling out his baby mama for allegedly cheating on him and even for supposedly taking a lot of drugs.
Rob has taken his venting to such an inappropriate (and possibly illegal) extreme that he got kicked off Instagram.
So it makes sense that Kris Jenner and company would be upset at Rob for two reasons:
1. He’s hurting their brand.
2. He may be hurting his relationship with seven-month old Dream in terms of how frequently Chyna will allow him to spend time with her going forward.
But while the anger on the Kardashian-Jenner side may be legitimate and present, you’d never know it by taking a look at various family members’ social media feeds.
We’ll start with Kylie Jenner.
A mere couple days after Rob blasted Chyna in a way rarely seen before in Hollywood, the teenage reality star acted like everything was just dandy and normal.
Just like she does nearly ever hour, Kylie shared a few racy images and videos on her Snapchat and Instagram pages, the most notable of which included her wearing a tight shirt and eating a banana,
Because of course, right?
Elsewhere, Khloe Kardashian shared a Twitter picture of herself pushing an ice cream cart. For some reason.
“Ice Cream Please!!!” Khloe penned as a caption to this seemingly random image, not really explaining why she posted it online.
And very obviously not saying a word about her troubled brother while doing so.
What about Kim Kardashian, you may be wondering?
She has often clashed with Rob, even giving him the boot from her wedding weekend a couple years ago after he allegedly caused some sort of scene.
It was this incident that prompted Kardashian to really withdraw from his family back in the day, as he left social media for about a year and went completely radio silent.
Ironically, it was his relationship with Blac Chyna that helped Rob get back on his feet, lose a lot of weight, gain self-confidence again and reunite with his loved ones.
But anyway.
Kim spent yesterday giving her Snapchat followers a makeup tutorial and pushing her new line of beauty products:
Rob, meanwhile, has not posted on Twitter since Wednesday afternoon.
He isn’t permitted to post on Instagram at the moment.
It’s possible he’s spoken to a lawyer and is finally aware that his actions crossed a few significant lines and we may not hear from him again for a very long time.
His relatives will just keep going about their regular, everyday tasks until then we guess, praying that Kardashian doesn’t do anything stupid, such as relapse or even attempt suicide.
The guy is very easy to make fun of and he screwed up royally in this case.
But it’s also pretty clear he has a few mental problems. He likely needs help. Let’s hope he gets it.

Khloe Kardashian: Book Promotion BACK ON!
It was only supposed to be about a book.
Unfortunately, Khloe Kardashian is a trending topic right now, mainly because her estranged husband, Lamar Odom was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel in mid-October.
Since then, Kardashian has rarely left Odom’s bedside, even though she had committed to a press tour for her new book, Strong Looks Better Naked.
Many are accusing Kardashian of using Lamar’s condition to self-promote, which makes the reality star irate.
So irate that she’s taken to Twitter several times in order to explain that one has nothing to do with the other.
“I keep getting asked why I cancelled my NYC signings. I will reschedule them but4 the time being I have to stay in LA for personal reasons,” Kardashian tweeted today.
Kardashian was excited to tell fans that she’d be signing copies of her book at Barnes & Noble in Los Angeles this coming Monday (November 9th) at 7pm.
“LA!!!!! The Grove!!!!! My first signing for my book.I’m staying and signing EVERY single book!! Monday its a date,” Kardashian tweeted earlier today. “More cities will be added for sure my loves! I just have to feel comfortable to leave for a few days. thank you for understanding.”
Kardashian’s other project is a talk show on FYI, Kocktails with Khloe, which was originally slated for a December premiere.
The network announced January 20th, 2016 as a new premiere date for the show, which will feature an “intimate home” setting in which Kardashian and her guests will chat while playing games, cooking and/or enjoying a cocktail.
