Kardashian Family's Water Waste Resurfaces After Khloe Criticizes LA Mayor Amid Fires
HuffPost
The reality star was called a hypocrite as people reminded the world about her family's excesses during Southern California's 2022 drought.
Khloe Kardashian is facing backlash for criticizing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass amid the forest fires that are currently ravaging Southern California.
The reality star and her famous family got called out after Kardashian posted on her Instagram story Friday to voice her support for Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley, who has been outspoken about how the city’s budget cuts for 2024-2025 left her teams struggling to respond to the crisis effectively.
Included in those cuts were $17 million from the fire department. However, according to the Los Angeles Times, the department’s operating budget had actually increased once additional funds were approved later in 2024, raising its annual budget by more than $50 million when compared to its 2023-2024 budget.
“I stand by YOU Chief Crowley!!!!” Kardashian wrote atop a screenshot of an interview between Crowley and Fox 11 Los Angeles. “You spoke the truth and you had tears in your eyes because I can tell you didn’t even want to say that but it was THE TRUTH.”
“Thank you for being honest,” she added. “Mayor Bass, you are a joke!!!!”
