Khloe Kardashian under fire for fur coat in the wake of Aussie fires


It's no secret that the Kardashian clan are one of the most influential families in the world. Apart from fame garnered through their reality tv show, they are also known for their philanthropic deeds in the wake of natural disasters.

They recently came under fire for encouraging people through their social media to make donations towards the fire devastation in Australia, and made a plea for people to help the animals. 

Kim Kardashian West shared a since deleted Instagram story stating "Over a billion animals have been killed in Australia" to which her younger sister, Kylie Jenner responded "this breaks my heart." Many social media users labeled them 'hypocrites' and questioned their concern for animals especially because Kylie Jenner posted fur slippers on her Instagram the very same day.

It did not end there - Khloe Kardashian, tweeted that the world needs to "wake" up and "save animals" . but came under fire by one Instagram user who said "Oh my God, 500 million animals have died!' Which is what, a few less than for your fur coats and accessories, @khloekardashian?" the user said, referring to the post below.

Replying to the post, Khloe slammed the user, saying: "I am wearing a Halloween costume. It's not real fur. But keep spreading your vile hate instead of focusing on real issues."

But the user soon recalled a 2019 post from an account named Daniel's Leather, where the designer of Khloe's outfit claimed that fox and mink fur had been used in the garment.

The post read: "@khloekardashian came to me with this vision i knew it will not be an easy task but i am so glad that the final product came out perfect," they posted alongside a photograph of the outfit.

"Also wanna thank @janellermiller for her help in this imp project. I am so proud of the fact that anytime it's a huge project people always approach daniels leather."

They added the hashtags, "#Fox #Mink #Sheep."
