Now there have been many controversies surrounding Kim and her immediate family all of which are relevant to her life but none of which define her as a person. I understand that many have their issues with Kim, whether that be that she came to fame because of a sex tape, that she posts revealing pictures (it's her body she can do what she wants with it) or that she flaunts her money. However, since she shot to international stardom I would argue that most of her actions have actually been admirable. She seems to have grounded and humbled herself, she has many successful businesses, she works with charities, has two adorable children all the while keeping up her public appearance. Now I know you are probably all thinking something to the likes of, “Poor Kim she has mounds of money and all she does is travel and do photoshoots for a living” and yeah that may be partially true but I don’t think anyone realizes how much work goes into those things. I myself am obviously not an expert but she always seems to be on the go. She definitely has a lot of money but how do you all think she acquired that money? She must be doing something right and I bet you a million dollars (that I do not have) that she works extremely hard for what she has.

I have to say, I am a fan of the Kardashians and have been for many years, I think they are all hilarious and beautiful but that’s besides the point. I’m talking about Kim specifically and the fact that she has just been the victim of an armed robbery. This was not just any armed robbery. Allegedly she was tied up, maybe even gagged, and locked in a bathroom with a gun to her head. Now if this had happened to your neighbor or a family friend you would be very upset and extremely sympathetic. But oh, wait, this is Kim Kardashian we are talking about so apparently this armed robbery is actually funny. I can not even count the number of times in the last couple days since this event happened that someone has said that she deserved it, that she brought it on herself or even that it was comical. Do you know how disgusting of a statement that is to make? Apparently not. This just baffles me because these sorts of things would never be wished on the “average” person but when you think about it that’s all Kim is, an average person. And yes she is in the public eye and is surrounded by circumstances that most people would never even dream of, but underneath all that she is human. Her fame may benefit her in many ways but I don’t think anyone ever thinks about how hard it must be so always be in the spotlight. She is scrutinized for everything she does, it doesn’t matter how much of a good deed she performs someone will always find issue with it. In her case thousands, maybe even millions will find issue with it and not a single person sitting on their couch laughing at the situation Kim just went through has experienced that, i’m quite sure of it. I need everyone to remember that whether you love Kim and feel some type of weird ownership over her or you hate her and think she’s overrated, that above all she is just a human. Like you and like me and like the other 7 billion people in this world. And wow, look at that, humans have feelings AKA Kim has feelings so to blatantly disregard that fact is just plain ignorant. I feel so horrible for her, not because she had millions of dollars worth of jewelry stolen but because she had to go through such a horrifying thing. I wouldn’t wish something like that on my worst enemy so I don’t understand why some people feel the need to wish that on Kim, someone who certainly has not done anything to directly affect them.

So give Kim a break. And if you are one of the people who thinks she deserved to be robbed by armed men or that it’s funny that she had to endure that then all I can say is you need to be taught about respecting others, no matter who that “other” may be. Maybe if unconditional respect was something that our society practiced there wouldn’t be as many issues in our country and our world today. I don’t mean that you respect someone when they actually are a questionable person with even more questionable morals. I mean respect someone until they give you a VIABLE reason to lose that respect for them. It’s pretty easy actually and you may find that you have more friends. :)
