Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner on a family vacation boat trip
Kim Kardashian defends the timing of her recent vacation post after facing public criticism.
A Collision of Timing
Kim Kardashian is pushing back against online criticism after posting party photos on Instagram shortly after her grandmother’s death. The SKIMS founder claims a simple scheduling overlap is to blame.
On Thursday, Kardashian shared vacation photos featuring herself, Khloe Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner. The images captured the sisters enjoying a boat party, with Kendall seen drinking tequila.
The post went live just minutes before Kris Jenner announced the passing of her mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell.
Public Backlash Mounts
Fans quickly condemned the timing, feeling the celebratory post was insensitive during a family tragedy.
One commenter bluntly questioned the decision: “Didn’t your grandmama just pass? This couldn’t wait to the weekend.”
Kardashian Clears the Air
Facing mounting pressure, Kardashian provided a logistical explanation for the social media misstep. She stated the post was fully automated and had been scheduled several days before her grandmother passed.
According to her response, the content was already queued up, “so its timing came right alongside her passing.”
Remembering Mary Jo
Kardashian emphasized her deep love for MJ, noting the family will celebrate her life together in the coming days. To properly honor her grandmother, she later uploaded a touching carousel of throwback photos.
