Kim Kardashian seriously needs to check her language. Just a few months after she used “anorexic” as a compliment, the star is back in trouble for using the r-word to insult Halloween party-goers who didn’t know her costume.
The reality TV star dressed up as Pamela Anderson from the 1999 VMAs for little sis Kendall Jenner’s party — but the 38-year-old was MAD that people didn’t realize who she was.
In a video that Kim posted (and then quickly deleted) to her 120 million Instagram followers, Kim was heard saying, “Nobody knows who I am. Yeah! R****d.”
Not cool Kim. Not only is she old enough to know that she shouldn’t be using that language, but she’s also raising three kids, who should be taught the same.
Twitter users weren’t afraid to call Kim out for her use of the slur.
“A mother using the r word?. My 8 month old son has down syndrome and knowing your children is being exposed to that language angers me. Try being kind,” wrote @KatieCH1983.
@arkandove wrote, “@KimKardashian using the R word on her IG story from yesterday is disgusting. And I really liked her. Watched, followed, bought sh*t, spent like 3 grand on her game. My brother is an ANGEL sent from Heaven and if you use it generally, you use it ALL THE TIME. Done.”
“@KimKardashian using the “R” word on her insta stories. As a special needs parent, I’m sad and disgusted to hear a woman of your age and influence use that word. Please educate yourself,” wrote @karahefflefing1.
Actor Mason Cook added, “SO. NOT. COOL! When you have millions of people's attention why not promote inclusivity instead of feeding the hate-exclusivity machine? The ‘R word’ is unacceptable!”
“Why are you so oblivious to what is widely known to be offensive, or do you think those types of things don’t apply to you?” wrote !gufsfan.
“Why should we let people off the hook for using th "R" word just because they're famous? She is 40 and should know better, esp. Since she is famous. It just shows her disregard for people,” wrote @awesomelove7.
Kim did say she was sorry, telling TMZ, “I want to apologize for what I said in a recent video post that is inappropriate and insensitive to the special needs community. I try to learn from my mistakes and this is one of those times. Please know that my intention is always pure, and in this case, it was a mistake. I’m sorry.”
To break it down, using a slur never has a pure intention, and fans weren’t letting her off the hook that easily.
“I just want to remind people that Kim Kardashian has a history of making fun of people with mental disabilities, so her apology for saying the R word doesn’t mean sh*t,” wrote @StephanieSidley.
The Twitter user also shared an old clip from Keeping Up with the Kardashians, where Kim could be seen saying about a man, “No, he’s so crazy Mom. I think he’s bipolar.”
According to some insiders, Pamela herself was horrified by Kim’s word choice.
“Pam is upset that Kim used the R word while dressed as her for Halloween. Pam was flattered that Kim dressed as her for Halloween, she thought she looked hot, but was also really disappointed by her insensitivity,” one source told Hollywood Life.
“Pam works hard to be a force for good in the world, and works hard to protect animal rights too, and using a word like that is simply something she would never do,” the snitch continued. While Pam thought Kim looked great, she feels it is too bad that she ruined the sexy look by using a word that is so unsexy.”
Kim and her sisters previously sparked controversy with their free wielding use of the word anorexic. Kim had been recording Snapchat videos where she prompted sisters Kendall and Khloe Kardashian to comment on her weight and figure.
“Your hair extensions, your a**, your tits, everything, they’re heavy, cause she’s f**king voluptuous. But she’s anorexic here," Khloé said, gesturing to her waist. "Her arms are like pin thin, they’re like my pinky.”
Many fans were concerned about the language that the sisters were using, and the way they celebrated their thin physiques.
“Kim Kardashian being obsessed with her sisters telling her she’s so skinny she looks anorexic on her Instagram story makes me want to throw my phone into outer space,” one person commented.
