Kardashian slammed for ‘tone deaf’ 40th b’day tropical getaway

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian faced a backlash after chartering a private jet to fly her entourage to a remote tropical island for lavish 40th birthday celebrations during the Covid pandemic. Kardashian and her ‘closest inner circle’ spent last week dancing, kayaking and swimming with whales on a private isle where they could “pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time,” she tweeted. The trip took the celebrities, including sisters Khloe and Kourtney and half-sister Kendall Jenner, some 4,000 miles from Los Angeles to Tahiti on board a Boeing 777. Husband Kanye West reportedly joined the party midway through the week.
