Kylie Jenner has faced a backlash on social media after she was seen wearing real mink fur slippers just hours after posting about the half a billion animals killed in the Australian wildfires. The 22-year-old reality star shared a picture of her £1,080 Louis Vuitton homey flat mule slippers on Instagram, shortly after posting a photo of a rescued koala with the caption 'this breaks my heart.'
Fans quickly accused Jenner of hypocrisy, with one writing: 'Rich people are so disconnected it's unreal.' Another commented: 'seeing kylie jenner post about the koalas being killed by the fires in australia followed by a picture of her wearing mink sandals on her instagram story really made me realize the extent to which the kardashian family’s stupidity reaches.'
Some followers questioned whether Jenner had donated to disaster relief, while others criticised her for what they saw as performative activism. One user wrote: 'Kylie posting her mink fur sandals right after her koalas dying post is peak fake woke behavior.'
Jenner has not yet responded to the criticism. However, her sister Kim Kardashian, 39, hit back at a follower who claimed the family had not donated, saying: 'nothing gets me more heated than to see people think they know what we donated to and to think we have to publicize everything.'
