Another day, another Kardashian scandal.
This week, the latest member of the family to face the heat of the internet is Kim, who has unintentionally been turned into a meme after she decided to share the snaps from her lavish "private island" birthday party.

Learn to read a room, Kim.
While millions of people still remain affected - both physically and financially - by the coronavirus pandemic, the infamous reality star decided it was a good time to share the details from her fortieth birthday celebrations in a lengthy Twitter thread.As you'd expect, her birthday bash was ludicrously over-the-top...
Let's just say a private island, dozens of her close friends and a maddeningly patronizing message to those "less fortunate" than her were involved.Of course, people were quick to slam the reality star as "tone-deaf" and "insensitive."
@KimKardashian Are you that insensitive you don’t realise this is not what the majority of people during the worst… https://t.co/KWEh0cJcV6— Peter Frampton (@Peter Frampton)1603839875.0

Now, throughout the last few months, millions of us have been required to self-isolate at home away from our friends and families...
Celebrities included. And, while some of these famous faces used the time to do some good - whether it be sending encouraging messages or providing some much-needed aid for those less fortunate than them - others went for a slightly different approach.For example...
And we all cringed in horror when Ellen DeGeneres gave an insight into her quarantine.
The TV host compared her self-isolation to "being in jail." I don't know about you, but I can't think of any jails with twelve lavish bedrooms, can you?And let's not forget Gal Gadot's horrifying attempt at solidarity with the rest of the world's population.
The actress gathered an army of her A-list pals and put together a rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine." "We are in this together, we will get through it together. Let’s imagine together. Sing with us. All love to you, from me and my dear friends."Of course, her plan of solidarity was a total flop...

Kim Kardashian is the latest celebrity to face the wrath of the internet for her sheer tactlessness.You may have heard, but the reality star recently celebrated her fortieth birthday...
And, regardless of the ongoing pandemic, she decided to celebrate it in style.But when I say "in style"...
