Óhætt er að segja að Kim Kardashian sé einn stærsti áhrifavaldur heims. Á dögunum birti raunveruleikastjarnan mynd á Instagram-síðu sinni en þar sást hún auglýsa sleikipinna frá vörumerkinu Flat Tummy sem gegna því hlutverki að minnka matarlyst.
Kynningin sló á taugar hjá fjölmörgum fylgjendum athafnakonunnar og streymdu ummælin á Twitter-síðu hennar. Þótti þessi vörukynning fyrir neðan allar hellur og tillitslaus gagnvart fólki með átröskun.
Einn tiltekinn notandi var sérlega ósáttur og birti:
„Ég hef misst alla virðingu fyrir Kim Kardashian. Að kynna lystminnkandi vöru þegar það er alþjóðleg vika vitundarvakningar um geðheilsu?? Það er svo margt til af fólki sem hefur glímt við átröskun og hún er að gera einhverja tísku úr því að borða ekki.“

No. Fuck off. No. You terrible and toxic influence on young girls. I admire their mother’s branding capabilities, she is an exploitative but innovative genius, however this family makes me feel actual despair over what women are reduced to. ☹️ pic.twitter.com/zDPN1T8sBM

MAYBE don’t take appetite suppressors and eat enough to fuel your BRAIN and work hard and be successful. And to play with your kids. And to have fun with your friends. And to have something to say about your life at the end, other than “I had a flat stomach.” ? pic.twitter.com/XsBM3aFtAQ

Saw @KimKardashian‘s stupid appetite suppressing lollipop ad, and TBH it really made me want a god damn strawberry Chupa Chup.
wow i have lost all respect for Kim Kardashian. promoting appetite suppressants when it’s mental health awareness week?? there are so many people who battle or who have battled with an eating disorder and she is making not eating look like it is “trendy”. disgusting and selfish.
