Attention, all my business ladies: Kim Kardashian is sorry (sort of) for telling you to “get your fucking ass up and work.”
“Get your fucking ass up and work.” Photo: Arturo Holmes/FilmMagic Attention, all my business ladies: Kim Kardashian is sorry for telling you to “get your fucking ass up and work.” In an ABC interview that aired Monday, the almost-billionaire insisted her comments — on a perceived lapse in the public’s work ethic — were taken out of context.
“It wasn’t a blanket statement toward women or to feel like I don’t respect their work or think that they don’t work hard. I know that they do,” she said. “But I’m really sorry if it was received that way.” Which it definitely was. To recap: Earlier this month, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris Jenner sat down with Variety to do a little press for their upcoming show, The Kardashians, which is just Keeping Up With the Kardashians on Hulu. During the course of the interview, Kim told the magazine: “I have the best advice for women in business. Get your fucking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
In one respect, Kim is not wrong: I do not want to work. I would prefer to simply exist without worrying about how I will pay for medical bills and a place to live and food. Sadly, though, not all of us can be born into wealth that we then leverage into reality-TV empires. But if Kim has recognized a rise in resentment among workers who are increasingly unwilling to do more for less money and fewer benefits, she did not account for the reasons behind that trend.
Yet according to Kim, Variety fed us “a sound bite really with no context.” She told ABC that her interviewer had just asked her a question like, “‘After 20 years of being in the business, you’re famous for being famous,’” which triggered a change in her “whole tone and attitude.
