Kylie Jenner is no stranger to controversy or a scandal or two. However, her latest Instagram Story has deeply upset Australian fans, with many claiming the world’s youngest billionaire is “insensitive” and “out of touch with reality”.

It started last night when the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shared a photo showing off her Louis Vuitton real mink fur slippers, just moments after lamenting the deaths of over half a billion animals who’ve died in the devastating wildfires currently consuming our country. Kylie coupled the photo of a koala being rescued by a firefighter with the caption, “this breaks my heart”.
Understandably and not surprisingly, the makeup mogul’s decision to wear animal fur after expressing her heartbreak about the bushfire crisis left fans raging at the hypocrisy.
“Kylie Jenner was really on her story crying about animals dying in australia and then proceeded to post a pic of mink fur slippers i- idk about that one,” one confused Twitter user wrote while another added, “Seeing Kylie Jenner post about the koalas being killed by the fires in Australia followed by a picture of her wearing mink sandals on her Instagram story really made me realize the extent to which the Kardashian family’s stupidity reaches.”
“Kylie posting her mink fur sandals right after her koalas dying post is peak fake woke behavior I f*****g hate to see it,” a different fan Tweeted.
Take a look at some other reactions below:
The backlash comes days after Kylie’s half-sister, Kim Kardashian West, lashed out at a fan who said her wealthy family had done little to help those suffering in Australia while also suggesting they were yet to donate to the disaster relief.
“nothing gets me more heated than to see the Kardashians/Jenners talk about climate change/wildfires & not donate even a penny. @KimKardashian @khloekardashian @KylieJenner @KendallJenner m@kourtneykardashian,” someone Tweeted.
The mum-of-four swiftly responded, writing: “nothing gets me more heated than to see people think they know what we donated to and to think we have to publicize everything.”
