Each time there is a huge disaster the magnitude of the LA fires, celebs often make mistakes that leave them on the wrong side of people. And this time it is Khloe Kardashian’s turn. On Friday, January 10, she took to Instagram to share a clip of Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley calling out Mayor Karen Bass’ alleged budget cuts for the department ahead of the fires.

During an interview, Crowley claimed to have asked Bass for more money to repair fire engines and hydrants around the city. But no move was made to provide it.

“I stand by YOU, Chief Crowley!!!! You spoke the truth, and you had tears in your eyes because I can tell you didn’t even want to say that, but it was THE TRUTH!!!!” Khloé captioned the video. “Thank you for being honest,” she continued. “Mayor Bass, you are a joke!!!!”

To be fair, it was her genuine response to learning that the Democratic politician allegedly cut the city fire department’s budget months before the wildfires. Nevertheless, some critics took to X to call out the Kardashian sister.

Many claimed Khloe Kardashian was quick to judge Bass but had not addressed other controversial politicians and public figures. Here’s all we know about the backlash the reality star faced.

What’s Causing the Public Backlash Against Khloe Kardashian?

Khloe Kardashian is being chewed out on social media for going after some politicians while blissfully ignoring others. Many believe she is being partial and have said as much.

“It’s interesting how Khloe Elon Musk Kardashian has been very quick to call Mayor Karen Bass ‘A JOKE’ but had no smoke for [Donald] Trump, JD Vance or Elon [Musk] during this past [presidential] election,” one user wrote.

The sentiment was echoed by another tweep who wrote: “It’s something about the way Khloe Kardashian has been on IG reposting nothing but right-wing MAGA influencers’ content denigrating Mayor Bass in light of these devastating fires that don’t sit right with me.”

“I never once saw her call out former Mayor [Eric] Garcetti similarly…,” another critic chipped in, referring to the retired mayor, who was in office in LA from 2013 to 2022. “I’m tired of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass getting demolished out here,” a commentator also said.

“Let’s get something clear. If you are from LA, you know Los Angeles is a specific area. Khloe K needs to talk to HER own Mayor Alicia Weintraub. Yeah the Mayor of Calabasas.”

Some Rose To Her Defence

The heat on Khloe Kardashian because of her statement was a lot. But there were also some people in the comment section and quotes defending her. 

One fan wrote, “What Khloé Kardashian said about the mayor is so right. I don’t know why y’all are hitting on. The woman [and] the Kardashians out of touch, yes. However, we need to stick together and have Bass and other California officials to resign because our city is mostly gone.” 

Another praised Khloe for “saying the truth” about Bass, 71. However, not many people were in the mood for her righteous anger. Many were quick to highlight how the Kardashians have played their part by wasting water over the years. 

Indeed, several critics called out some of the Kardashians for allegedly going over their water usage in June 2022 amid the ongoing state drought. 

Reports claimed that Kourtney exceeded her water usage by 101,000 gallons in June 2022. Similarly, her sister Kim Kardashian exceeded her water usage by 232,000 gallons. However, Khloé was not named in the article.

Did Khloe Kardashian Evacuate?

Khloé Kardashian and her family had to evacuate their homes after receiving a warning about the nearby Kenneth Fire northeast of Calabasas, California. According to reports, the evacuation order has been lifted. But it’s unclear if the family has returned to their mansions, which are still standing. 

Many other celebrities have not been so fortunate. The raging LA fires have burned down the homes of stars like Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Mandy Moore and Miles Teller, and Keleigh Teller.
