Kim Kardashian is no stranger to social media backlash, but this time her critics have come out for her in droves. Why? Because she tweeted out a message in support of Ariana Grande after the Manchester terror attack that followed her concert on Monday — and the tweet featured a photo of Kardashian in it.
“Concerts are supposed to be a place where u can let loose & have fun. So scary not to feel safe in this world. @arianagrande I love you,” the reality star wrote along with a picture of herself, sister Kendall Jenner, and Grande, which was taken at Kanye West’s September concert at Madison Square Garden. The three look like they’re having the time of their lives, seemingly suggesting that Kardashian was sending love and support to help Grande through this difficult time. But the Internet was not having it and took the post to mean she was making the tragedy about herself.
Another user chimed in, saying, “The malfunction of @KimKardashian with her Narcissistic personality disorder is disgusting.”
But that wasn’t the only tweet Kardashian, 36, posted about the tragedy. She also expressed deep sorrow at the attacks in two other posts, writing, “I’m praying for everyone in Manchester. This is truly so senseless & heart breaking,” and, “I can’t imagine the fear and agony these parents must be going through searching for their kids.”
Millions have been expressing their shock and despair over the attack, where a suicide bomber detonated a device that killed 22 people and injured 59 following Grande’s concert in Manchester, England, which was part of her “Dangerous Woman” tour. Grande, 23, tweeted that she was heartbroken over the attack, and postponed the remainder of her tour dates in the wake of the bombing.
Of course, Kardashian wasn’t the only celebrity to take to social media about the attack. Other celebs expressing their grief and support of Grande include Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, and Demi Lovato. All shared messages of love and support in the wake of the tragedy, and some included pictures of themselves with Grande too.
But for whatever reason, when Kardashian did the same, it was seen as tasteless narcissism. The backlash was so intense that she deleted the photo, which was posted on both her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
