This is starting to look a lot like a scam.
Kim Kardashian has found herself on the naughty list as her SKIMS advent calendar faces backlash online.
Social media users have called the $148 accessory Advent calendar “junk” following a TikTok video in which the creator unboxed all 12 days of the apparently coveted item, which has since sold out and is now on a waiting list.
In the viral video, which has garnered over 45 million views at the time of writing, the designer becomes increasingly “edgy” as she unboxes the various items, including SKIMS branded key chains, silk hair ties, bobby pins, a SKIMS squishy and Christmas decorations.
“Kimberly, you’re really about to piss me off,” the designer said in the clip. “It’s way too expensive.”
Others echoed the creator’s sentiments in the comments, with one social media user saying the Advent calendar “should deserve a lawsuit, and I’m not kidding.”
Another fumed: “$150 is WILD for maybe $20 worth of stuff,” while a third added that the items were “basically anything that falls between my car seats.”
One said they looked like they were “cleaning Kim’s nightstand”, while another wrote that they “played in your face girl but you just saved so many people money”, and a third called the posts “Temu smut”.
Page Six reached out to Kardashian’s representatives for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
This isn’t the first time Kardashian, 46, has sparked online debate about SKIMS, which she launched in 2019.
Last year, the brand raised eyebrows with the launch of its “Ultimate Bush” collection, featuring flip-flops with faux hair in a variety of textures and tones attached to the front.
One social media user joked that he was “calling 911,” while another wrote: “I just Googled the date to make sure it’s not April 1st.” »
In 2024, the reality star also faced backlash for “mocking” religion after posing “half-naked” while wearing rosary beads for a SKIMS collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana.
“I don’t feel good with a rosary 📿 and this type of photo shoot ☹️,” one social media user wrote at the time.
Another added: “Nothing about you is sacred,” urging Kardashian to “take off the rosaries.”
