I think it's safe to say Khloé Kardashian has been having a pretty rough time on the internet in recent weeks.
And last week, she faced backlash for her response to a fan who tweeted that she had to work extra hours to be able to afford a pair of Khloé's Good American jeans.
When the fan, Kaelynn, said she had to work 20 hours to afford a single pair of the jeans and that she'd be "picking up extra shifts", Khloé replied saying it was "so cute".
Khloé immediately came under fire for the tweet, which people said was "tone deaf" coming from someone who has an approximate net worth of $40 million.
@khloekardashian @K_Abner_ not to sound like a hater but this actually upsets me!! someone had to work a stupid amount of hours to afford ONE pair of jeans. A millionaire thinks it’s “cute” that ppl have to calculate & think how many hours they have to work to afford little things.
@zoesnxder @khloekardashian @K_Abner_ Sick. She doesn’t even realize how tone deaf this is bc she’s been rich her whole life lol. “Being poor is so cute! lol”
Fan: I had to work 85 hours this week and take out a second mortgage on my house in order to afford a single pant leg from your new Jean collection Khloe Kardashian: omg awwww aren't you just the cutest ❤❤! Enjoy them queen!❤
Some people said she should send Kaelynn a whole box of free clothes, or at least slip her a Good American coupon code.
@khloekardashian @K_Abner_ Khloe I think its nice she likes your jeans but picking up extra shifts to be able to afford them isnt cute. You should send her a whole box for even wanting to do that.
She could’ve at least slipped sis a little coupon code I- https://t.co/9wmAwhczvv
Well, the whole situation took a turn on Tuesday when Kaelynn tweeted again, revealing Khloé did more than slip her a coupon code and, in fact, sent her a huge care package of Good American clothes.
I still can’t believe my tweet got so much attention. I have adored @khloekardashian for so long and am so thankful she took the time out of her day to send me some AMAZING clothes. I never once took her tweet to be anything other than positive. My bulletin board says it all!!
"I have adored @khloekardashian for so long and am so thankful she took the time out of her day to send me some AMAZING clothes," she wrote. "I never once took her tweet to be anything other than positive."
Khloé herself popped up again in the replies, thanking her for being "such a positive soul".
@K_Abner_ I am so happy you received your Good American goodies!!! Keep working hard and being such a positive soul 💕💜💕
But it didn't end there — Khloé also replied to another fan, revealing how she felt about the backlash to her original tweet.
Khloé said she had always intended on surprising Kaelynn with the package, and added she "never thought her tweet would be taken so negatively".
@Khlocaine_ Sadly, the negative things spread like wild fire. I was so honored this young woman spent her hard earned money on GA, I was sending her GA out of pure gratitude/appreciation as soon as I saw her tweet. I was surprising her. Never did I think my tweet would be taken so negatively
"Sadly, the negative things spread like wild fire," she wrote.
And, in another tweet, she suggested the whole situation had been "toxic" and made her want to distance herself from social media.
@narcicismo I know Ive been distant. A rough month for me emotionally. But I never want you to think for second that I don’t love/appreciate you. All of you! I try to come on when I can cuz one of my favorite things to do is have sweet tweet chats. But at times it’s been toxic 4me. Balance
Well, I guess that's one situation handled, at least.
