Fame is interesting. Celebs are supposed to love you guys while also knowing you’d make a meme of our dead bodies to get retweets

I dunno. It’s hard to explain because everyone thinks money and fame is pure awesome, so it just sounds whiny. I get it, trust me. Go off.

It is just a weird little world that I cannot expect anyone to get. I know it seems super awesome and laughable. I know.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model never hesitates to kick up a Twitter storm. She got into several back-and-forth arguments with random fans after news broke of the robbery in which Kardashian lost millions of dollars worth of jewelry.
No one is begging you for sympathy. I know the game plan is to naturally hate celebrities https://t.co/EMHRslQKu6

I’m not trying to be condescending. I really do get it. I would be the same way if I didn’t have the random opportunity to see both sides.

Please do not think that I think celebrities are special snowflakes. I just miss empathy, in general, for everyone.

James Corden also defended the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star on Twitter, reminding fans that she is more than just a celebrity.
People making jokes about @KimKardashian tonight would do well to remember that she’s a mother,a daughter,a wife,a friend.Be nice or shut up

Kardashian was reportedly not harmed in the robbery, but very shaken up. She left Paris in a private jet after speaking to police about the incident.
