KHLOE Kardashian has faced backlash for her follow-up social media post after she slammed Kanye West’s antisemitic rants on Monday.
She and other members of her family including Kim Kardashian, Kris, Kylie, and Kendall Jenner have shared their support for the Jewish community in light of 45-year-old Ye’s comments.
The famous family, including Khloe, shared a post to their Instagram Stories that read: “I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.”
However, Khloe, 38, followed that post eight hours later with a video of a gas fireplace at her $17m mansion.
Some fans associated the image of the fireplace with the Holocaust and criticized Khloe’s timing.
“How did she not realize how bad this looks?” asked one on social media.

“The thing is they’re so dumb and thoughtless I bet they don’t even get the correlation,” wrote another.
A third shared: “I really doubt they know anything about history, certainly know nothing about the holocaust.”
One fan took a slightly different view, proposing: “I don’t think she meant any malice but oh my god, optics.”
Khloe’s post and the subsequent conversation come following the recent antisemitic outbursts from Kanye.

A petition started on Change.org for the brand to end their partnership has amassed over 150,000 signatures.
