Kim Kardashian Promotes Perfume in Wake of Mass Shooting, Hears All About It
Kim Kardashian stands accused of caring more about her brand and her bank account than about the lives of 12 dead people in California.
This is a very harsh asssessment, but it’s one shared by a number of Kim’s Twitter followers right now.
The reality star has garnered quite a bit of backlash for what some perceive as an incredibly tone deaf Tweet on Thursday morning.
It reads as follows:
So excited! @KKWFRAGRANCE is coming to @ultabeauty this holiday season! My fragrances launch in all stores across the country on Sunday 11/25!
And then another almost immediately proceeded it:
Get ready! #KKWFRAGRANCE is coming to all @ultabeauty stores on Sunday 11.25! #KKWFragranceUltaBeauty.
On the surface, this is exactly what any follower of Kardashian would expect: a promotion of her makeup, beauty or perfume collection.
But the self-serving messages came just hours after the world learned of another mass shooting, as a dozen people were gunned down in a bar in Thousand Oaks around 11:20 p.m. on Wednesday.
As you might expect, many social media users responded to Kim’s fragrance shilling by asking what the heck the mother of three was thinking by sending them in light of this tragedy.
Here’s a look at some of the most pointed responded to Kardashian’s Tweets:
12 people are dead this morning Kim…and it happened a city over from your home. Get it together.
I would be much more interested with the developing facts behind a mass murder in Thousand Oaks, CA, that went down late last night Kim! But you really blew this one big time! Massively! Kris Jenner needs have a heart to heart with you!
Mass shooting right in ur state & as ALWAYS none of ur fam say shhh, WHY would any of you? U all have armed guards 24/7 on you, F the rest of us right? Don’t preach to me on gun control HYPOCRITE, MAKE UR MONEY #ThousandOaks
You are aware that there was a mass shooting one town over, right?
The thing is, Kim was likely unaware of this horrific massacre at the time the Tweets went live.
Based on the similarity of the messages, as well as how they were posted back-to-back, they were almost definitely scheduled to go up when they did, at some point before the aforecited bar patrons were killed.
And Kardashian has actually been a vocal proponent of gun control in the past.
In February, following a mass shooting in Florida, Kim earned our praise for responding as follows online:
“We owe it to our children and our teachers to keep them safe while at school. Prayers won’t do this: action will. Congress, please do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence.”
So this is one important topic on which the star has been admirably vocal.
Still, the unfortunate timing of Kim’s Tweets here coincide with Kardashian having to recently apologize for using the R-Word in video.
She may be best served by explaining the situation and issuing a statement about the shooting and gun control in general, simply to avoid another scandal.
Not that what folks think about Kim Kardashian is remotely the point right now.
What politicians think about the state of our country and the role guns play in it is infinitely more pressing.

Niece of Tamera Mowry & Adam Housley Killed In Thousand Oaks Shooting
Last night, Americans watched in horror as the death toll climbed following reports of a mass shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks, California.
Today, the numbers are in, and once again, a nation is left reeling in the wake of a tragic scene that’s become all too familiar in recent years.
13 lives were lost last night, including the shooter’s, and for the 307th time this year, the families of American mass shooting victims are grieving for their loved ones.
Among the mourning are actress Tamera Mowry and her husband, former Fox News reporter Adam Housley.
Tamera and Adam’s niece Alaina Housley was among those killed when Ian David Long opened fire during college night at the Borderline bar.
She was just 18 years old.
“Our hearts are broken,” the couple said in a statement released by their publicist this afternoon.
“We just learned that our niece Alaina was one of the victims of last night’s shooting at Borderline bar in Thousand Oaks.”
This morning, Mowry revealed that her niece was missing following the shooting.
Alaina’s iPhone revealed her location as inside the bar at the time of the attack.
On Twitter, Mowry contacted Alaina’s roommate who had also been in the club, but escaped unharmed.
“This is her aunt Tamera Mowry Housley. Can you please DM me your information?” the actress wrote.
The roommate confirmed that the other girls living in her dorm suite had returned home safely, but Alaina’s whereabouts remained unknown.
Adam Housley canvassed the area in search of his niece, but was not permitted inside the nearest hospital due to a police lockdown.
“Please pray if you believe….pray,” he tweeted.
“My niece. A beautiful soul. … Staying positive and praying and hoping and wishing there was more I could do.”
Speaking with a local newspaper, Housley made a grim prediction that sadly turned out to be accurate:
“My gut is saying she’s inside the bar, dead,” he told the paper. “I’m hoping I’m wrong.”
Our thoughts go out Alaina’s family and all those who lost loved ones in Wednesday night’s shooting.
Tamera Mowry: Actress Searches For Niece Missing In Thousand Oaks Shooting
As you’ve likely heard by now, another mass shooting (the 307th such incident in 2018 thus far) took place Wednesday night at a bar in Thousand Oaks, California.
The establishment was hosting an event geared toward college students.
13 are reported dead in the incident, including the shooter, who has been identified as a 28-year-old ex-Marine named David Ian Long.
At least 10 others were injured in the incident, and several that were in the bar Wednesday night remain unaccounted for, possibly because medical staff have been unable to identify them.
One of the missing patrons is Alaina Housley, the niece of Sister, Sister star Tamera Mowry and her husband, former Fox News correspondent Adam Housley.
Mowry and Housley received word that their niece was among the missing early this morning.
Immediately, they began to try and determine her whereabouts.
Mowry began combing social media, where she’s been in contact with Alaina’s roommate, a fellow college student identified only as Ashley.
“Ashely this is her aunt Tamera Mowry Housley. Can you please DM me your information?”
Mowry asked after the well-being of Alaina’s friends and was assured that all of the other girls had returned home safely.
“Yes, all the other girls are safe,” said Ashley, after revealing that she had no new information about Alaina.
“Woke up shocked. Please pray. Please pray. I am numb,” Mowry tweeted.
Housley, who has been checking in with area hospitals and police stations has also asked his Twitter followers to pray for his niece.
“Please pray if you believe….pray,” he tweeted, later referring to his niece as “a beautiful soul.”
Housley revealed that he was not allowed to search for his niece in the nearby Los Robles Hospital, as the facility was on a police lockdown.
He also tweeted that Alaina’s Apple Watch and iPhone revealed that her location as inside the bar at the time of the shooting.
“My gut is saying she’s inside the bar, dead,” he said.
“I’m hoping I’m wrong.”
This morning, Mowry updated fans with the sad news that Alaina still has not bee located.
“We haven’t found her yet,” the actress tweeted. “It’s been 7 hrs since the shooting.”
Our thoughts go out to Mowry and her entire family.
Here’s hoping that Alaina is found safe.

Thousand Oaks Shooting Kills 11 Bar Patrons, Police Sergeant
There has been another mass shooting in America.
Around 11:20 p.m. on Wednesday night, an unnamed assailant dressed entirely in black walked into the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California and opened fire with a handgun.
According to the latest information from Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean, 11 victims were found dead inside of the establishment, while a 12th victim has been identified as Ron Helus.
Helus was a Ventura sheriff’s sergeant who responded to 911 calls from the bar and who entered with the intention of stopping the shooter.
He was killed for his heroic effort.
Holden Harrah, a 21-year old who was was among the hundreds inside listening to music Wednesday night as a part of a college night event, spoke to The Los Angeles Times about what she witnessed.
She told the newspaper that the shooter walk in the front door wearing a black hat, glasses and a black shirt. He also had a beard, she said, adding:
“He just pulled out a gun and shot my friend that was working the front desk,” he said.
Harrah managed to run out a side door and made his way outside.
“I heard more gunshots behind me. I was freaking out,” he said.
Authorities have not yet released the name of the shooter, who was also found dead inside the bar.
However, a a law enforcement source told The Times that he was 29-year-old armed with a Glock .45 handgun and some knd of smoke device.
He is believed to be a resident of Newbury Park and he drove his mother’s car to the establishment.
Approximately 10 others were shot, but not killed, the Associated Press reports.
Dean told reporters in a press conference that the surviving victims inside the bar had “different levels of injury” and were transported to local hospitals.
“It’s a horrific scene in there,” Dean said. “There is blood everywhere and the suspect is part of that.”
He added that police think the suspect acted alone.
“It’s part of the horrors that are happening in our country and everywhere,” Dean also told reporters. “I think it’s impossible to put any logic or sense to the senseless,” he continued.
“This community in my 41 years had never experienced anything like this.”
Authorities report that the man was heavily tattooed, but apparently didn’t have identification on him.
His gun was purchased in Ventura County.
Helus died as a 29-year veteran of the department.
He was planning to retire next year and is survived by a son and his wife, whom he called before entering the bar, Dean said.
The attack was the deadliest mass shooting in the United States since 17 students and teachers were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February.
This tragedy came less than two weeks after a man killed 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
UPDATE:
The gunman has been identified as a 29-year old former U.S. Marine named Ian Long.
It is believed to have used a .45 caliber handgun with an “extended magazine,” authorities state, and that he shot himself.
