International celebrity Kim Kardashian is facing criticism and backlash on social media after posting a carousel of photos featuring her children dressed as "Zombie Neymar JR." While Kim may have intended the photos as a Halloween-themed costume for her kids, many of her followers did not share the same sentiment.
In the photos, Kim's children are depicted with bloodied faces, smeared jerseys that are written in Arabic, and fake cuts on their faces, resembling the appearance of individuals affected by conflict in places like Gaza. Currently, Gaza is experiencing a genocide, and people there are enduring immense suffering.
Upon sharing these images, Kim's Instagram comments quickly filled with expressions of shock and disgust from her followers. Many of them felt that the images were highly inappropriate, given the real-world suffering experienced by children in regions of conflict. They urged Kim to "read the room" and criticized her for being tone-deaf in her choice of costumes.
As a prominent public figure with millions of followers, Kim's actions and posts have a significant impact, and many are calling for her to be more conscious of the messages she sends to her audience.
It remains to be seen how Kim Kardashian will respond to the criticism, and whether she will acknowledge the concerns raised by her followers regarding her recent Instagram post.
