Kim K dropped this pearl of wisdom during her new interview with Variety, alongside her sisters Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian and their mother, Kris Jenner. “I have the best advice for women in business,” she told the magazine during the cover photo shoot. “Get your fucking ass up and work.” Kim, I’m a writer, I literally have to sit my ass down to work. But then it got worse when she added, “It seems like nobody wants to these days.” I’ll pause for laughter now.
Besides being a thoroughly unhelpful piece of advice, the declaration that “nobody wants” to work coming from a multi-millionaire who got famous on a reality TV show and was born into a life of privilege is pretty, well, pretty rich. That’s not to say that Kim isn’t a hard worker — as you can see on her Instagram, she has many businesses, four kids, and wakes up early to work out every day so that she can keep her famous figure.
Then there was her sister, Kourtney’s reaction to Kim’s statement — “That’s so true.” So. True. This coming from the woman who tearfully declared on national television, “Working is just not my top priority. It’s never going to be.” This from the woman who got into a physical fight with Kim because she was accused of not working hard enough.
Kim continued to wax poetic about all the work she seems to think we are not doing. “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,” she said. “No toxic work environments, and show up and do the work.” In Kim’s defense, these are all nice ideals.
