Kim Kardashian sparked a conversation after she posted a photo from her recent special screening of Wicked with none other than Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in attendance.
Numerous fans blasted Kim over her ‘privilege’ after she posted a snap from the screening to her Instagram on Sunday.
The reality star hosted a Wicked ‘slumber party’ at her LA mansion back in October, a month before the film was officially released.
Kim, 44, was joined by sisters Khloe, 40, Kourtney, 45, and Kylie, 27, along with their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and mom Kris Jenner, 68 for the screening – which came complete with gifted movie merchandise including shirts, pajamas, dolls, and a pink and green buffet, as well as a green carpet entrance. ‘Wicked pajama party,’ Kim wrote in the caption.
The family were slammed over the lavish event when Kris first posted snaps from the event last month – but fans couldn’t restrain themselves from reminding Kim of her wealth as they weighed in in the comments.
In a short comment summarizing their thoughts, one said: ‘The privilege is real.’

‘I hate being poor,’ one joked with a laughing crying emoji.
‘Lol the privilege,’ one wrote.
‘I mean, if I had the mula, I would do the same thing… us peasants will just live vicariously thru this pic…I do wonder how much money they spent to make this happen…’ one wrote.
Another offered this biting response: ‘How much did that cost? Pro𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 more than a homeless shelter.’
‘People actually get sick of you all flaunting your privilege during these times. Why not flaunt your giving back in some real and meaningful way?’ one remarked.
‘It’s KIM Kardashian Money..’ another posted.
‘This the type money you have to have to have the main characters at ur wicked themed sleep over,’ another wrote.
Wicked, starring Ariana and Cynthia, was released in theatres on November 22 – and the star hosted their star-studded extravaganza in late October.
Fans didn’t restrain themselves from reminding her of her wealth as they weighed in in the comments
Kris Jenner previously shared snaps from the bash to her Instagram back on October 23, prompting fans to weigh in with similar ‘privilege’ comments at the time.
The decision by Universal Pictures to allow the advance screening for celebrities as a marketing tool angered fans – who argued the film should have been seen first by 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren studying theater, rather than the reality star family.
One fan wrote at the time: ‘The level of obscene privilege is willlld’.
Others wrote: ‘It grosses me out how this family continuously gets things they shouldn’t be able to have but just because they’re rich the get a pass. You want Marilyn Monroe’s dress? Sure. You want the Wicked Movie an entire month before it’s officially out? Why not.
‘There is no marketing angle to wicked hosting a private movie night for the kard*shians other than showing the extreme wealth.’

‘THIS. the kardashians aren’t even remotely connected to theater and if they rlly wanted the kardashians to watch it, then they should’ve invited them to one of their influencer screening like they did with trisha. theater kids deserve the princess treatment, not icky billionaires.’
‘why didn’t they set up a private screening of wicked in a musical theatre school for kids in a low income neighborhood or something. like why the kardashians? that cannot have been the best PR move like truly i don’t get it.’
‘Not one person in your family deserved this.
‘Meanwhile, us common folk are working to keep the lights on….
