Kim Kardashian West promoting appetite-suppressing lollipops

Twitter users have slammed the reality star. - by Julie Mazziotta
  • 20 Apr 2017

Kim Kardashian West is under fire from celebrities and fans for promoting appetite-suppressing lollipops on Instagram.

 

The megamogul, 37, posted the ad for Flat Tummy’s lollipops on Tuesday, and by early Wednesday morning, the photo had been deleted. (Although it was initially thought that Kardashian West deleted the image, which has since been restored, a rep for Instagram said in a statement to BuzzFeed News that the app accidentally removed the image: “We mistakenly removed content we shouldn’t have and apologized to Kim for the inconvenience caused.”)

“#ad You guys… @flattummyco just dropped a new product. They’re Appetite Suppressant Lollipops and they’re literally unreal. They’re giving the first 500 people on their website 15 percent OFF so if you want to get your hands on some… you need to do it quick! #suckit,” Kardashian West wrote.

The mom of three immediately started getting backlash on Instagram and Twitter. The Good Place‘s Jameela Jamil, who has previously questioned a blog post from Kardashian West’s sister Khloé on ways to “look thin AF,” called her out.

I can't stand anything to do with the Kardashian's in the first place. They literally bring nothing to society yet they are one of the wealthiest families on the planet. Their fame hungry lifestyles are beyond pathetic. - But this. THIS. This made my blood boil. For reasons I cannot understand, many young people follow and worship the ground KK walks on with her ridiculous designers heels that cost more than my mortgage. What kind of message is this sending to girls, boys, men AND women out there who suffer daily with their crippling self image? Promoting unhealthy ways to suppress your appetite... with a sodding lollipop?? - Unfortunately there are people in this world who would literally do anything to lose weight and sadly these fad diets or quick fixes are shadowing the real ways of having a healthy and happy lifestyle. - As sad as it is, these sort of "celebrities" influence a lot of people in our world and this is just completely irresponsible. - Want to suppress your appetite? Do it the only way you can and eat a healthy and sensible diet. Exercise regularly and drink fluids. Yes, it takes time if you want to lose weight and it won't happen overnight. BUT the results stay for longer and you will be HAPPIER for it. - Please do me a favour and don't believe these utter bullshit fixes.

“No. F— off. No. [You’re a] terrible and toxic influence on young girls. I admire their mother’s branding capabilities, she is an exploitative but innovative genius, however this family makes me feel actual despair over what women are reduced to,” Jamil, 32, tweeted.

“MAYBE don’t take appetite suppressors and eat enough to fuel your BRAIN and work hard and be successful. And to play with your kids. And to have fun with your friends. And to have something to say about your life at the end, other than ‘I had a flat stomach.’ ”

And Kardashian West also got plenty of criticism from her followers, who accused her of promoting eating disorders.

“Wow I have lost all respect for Kim Kardashian. Promoting appetite suppressants when it’s mental health awareness week?? There are so many people who battle or who have battled with an eating disorder and she is making not eating look like it is ‘trendy.’ Disgusting and selfish,” wrote one Twitter user.

“I actually can’t BELIEVE the nerve of Kim Kardashian promoting ‘appetite suppressant lollipops’. Her audience is made up of mostly impressionable young people who already have so much pressure on them to look and be perfect, we all deserve so much better,” added another.

Others questioned why she needed the money from this ad.

“I think Kim Kardashian is so bloody irresponsible posting about appetite suppressant lollipops. What’s next Kim, gambling? Drugs? Yes I get influencers get paid for adverts, but surely it’s better to be ethical about what your paid to post about?” asked one.

Jessica Cunningham on Twitter

“How desperate are you for the money @KimKardashian? I refuse to believe that some tin-pot lollipop making company is paying you THAT MUCH that you lose all common sense to think about the message that this sends your fans and followers. It’s outrageously irresponsible,” asked another.

Appetite suppressing lollipops? @flattummyco thank you! They just launched these new pops and I am already obsessed! They've brought together my need for sweets while still curbing my cravings. I try to eat healthy normally, but that doesn't mean I still don't get urges for candy - these will help me stay on track. You guys should check them out while they still have stock! #ad #mamasgotasweettooth 🍭

Kardashian frequently promotes products from Flat Tummy’s line, including teas and meal-replacement shakes. Tori Spelling also shared a sponsored post about the appetite-suppressant lollipops on Tuesday, and her followers similarly called her out. Spelling’s post is still up at the time of this writing.
