On social media, Khloé Kardashian was criticized over water usage amid the LA fires. This incident sparked concern among viewers.
She has come under fire from actress Yvette Nicole Brown for her excessive water usage during the 2022 LA drought. This backlash follows the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, where water conservation is critical.
Khloe’s water usage sparks controversy
She was criticized for using over 100,000 gallons of water above her allocated limit in one month during the 2022 drought.
The issue became more prominent after Brown shared a Rolling Stone article highlighting the reality star’s water consumption.
The article highlights ‘Kardashians Among L.A.’s Worst Water Wasters’, Brown wrote: ‘This is from 2022 when Los Angeles was in the midst of a drought.
‘Every citizen was asked to conserve for the good of everyone else. Y’know because of fires? This is how some citizens responded to the ask.
‘Is THIS a joke @khloekardashian?’
Brown condemned Kardashian’s actions, reminding her followers about the need to conserve water during such crises.
Fans and social media react to Khloe’s actions
The revelation of Khloe’s water usage stirred a wave of online criticism.
On social media, many fans expressed their disbelief, calling out the Kardashian family for their disregard for water-saving measures.
While, others questioned her priorities, suggesting she was more focused on her pool and hot tub than on the environment.
One commenter said: I can’t believe Khloe would waste this much water during a crisis.
A second wrote: Well I guess that’s a perfect sample of the entitled ones.
While a third commented: Typical of people who think there above everyone else.
Another added: Did her home get written off.
Someone else said: They can get false grass that looks like real grass don’t have to water
The Kardashian family’s history of water wastage
Previously, Khloe’s sister, Kim Kardashian, also faced backlash in 2022 for using 232,000 gallons of water beyond her allowance during the drought.
Kim was later fined by authorities, and it’s been reported that she installed water-saving measures on her property afterward.
However, her actions, alongside Khloe’s, sparked outrage among the public, especially as they continued to water their gardens while the city faced a severe water shortage.
Amid the ongoing fires, wealthy LA residents, including the Kardashians, have also been criticized for hiring private firefighters.
These services, costing up to $2,000 an hour, were seen as a way for the rich to protect their properties while ordinary citizens rely on public safety efforts.
Chris Dunn, a provider of these services, shared that demand has never been higher, as many are taking matters into their own hands.
Khloe Kardashian criticizes LA Mayor Karen Bass
Khloe recently took to social media to criticize Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, calling her “a joke.”
She supported a claim by LAFD Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, who said budget cuts had affected the fire department’s ability to manage the fires.
However, Khloe’s comments about Mayor Bass were met with backlash, as many pointed out her family’s history of wasting water during a drought.
While Khloe Kardashian has been vocal about supporting the fire department, her own actions regarding water usage have sparked significant criticism.
As California battles wildfires and a water crisis, the Kardashian family’s behavior continues to be a subject of public scrutiny.
