Kim Kardashian thought she was promoting The Kardashians along with a strong work ethic but, in the process, managed to infuriate millions of people, including some former employees. Audiences frequently criticize the Kardashians for being out of touch with reality. From wasteful food fights, the original branding of SKIMS as Kimono, to Kendall Jenner's infamous Pepsi ad, it's evident that the famous family needs to step down from their ivory tower more often despite good intentions.
Kim joined Variety to spill details on her family's new show and delivered a stern message for women in business.
