Kim Kardashian

Influencer

The former wife of hip hop star Kanye “Ye” West, celebrity icon Kim Kardashian found herself dragged into a controversy over antisemitism in 2022 with her estranged ex-husband’s antisemitic outbursts. After West revived a range of antisemitic tropes about Jewish money and power and threatened to go “death con 3 on Jewish people”, Kardashian joined other celebrity influencers in rejecting his words. “Hate speech is never OK or excusable,” Kardashian tweeted. “I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.” (Photo: Wikimedia / Creative Commons License)
