Former employees sue Kim Kardashian: How is Twitter reacting?
Are we ready for our daily dose of Kardashian tea, folks? The royal family can’t go a half-day without tearing up headlines, and today is no different. Today, the spinning Kardashian-Jenner wheel of misfortune lands on the crown jewel (at least for millennials), Kim. Like last week’s drama surrounding Kourtney’s nanny, this week’s news has to do with the Kardashian employees.
Twitter is lighting up this week with rumors saying one of Kim Kardashian’s former employees is suing her. Vanity Fair says Kardashian is being sued by seven of her former employees for unpaid wages, and along with a plethora of other publications piping up, Twitter is full of voices putting in their two cents on Kim’s alleged Scrooging. Here’s what we found.

Just a headline
These days, most people get their news from headlines, without even reading the article (unlike you, dear reader). Outlets lit up Twitter about the Kim Kardashian situation, and TMZ unsurprisingly chimed in. They say Kim blames the lawsuit on a third-party vendor. What’s the truth?

Legal advice
Other news outlets harped on Kim’s former legal training, as HuffPost tweeted about Kim failing the bar exam by a few points. Guess she’ll need some help if the lawsuit goes through.

Public opinion
News outlets certainly had plenty to say about Kim’s reported lawsuit, but what about the common folk? For some Twitter users like this one, this Kardashian headline is one too many.
If I was Kim Kardashian my gardeners would be getting random $10,000 bonuses for no reason. The billions went to the wrong people.

Others took to Twitter to underscore Kim’s massive wealth, and tell the world how well they’d treat their employees if they had that Kardashian dough. Whatever you say, Yodizzle.
