Khloé Kardashian Calls Out Los Angeles Mayor
Last Friday, Khloé courted controversy when she labeled Mayor Karen Bass “a joke” in a post on her Instagram Stories.
Khloé slammed Bass after the city’s Fire Chief, Kristin Crowley, told Fox 11 that the mayor reduced the city’s ability to combat the fire by pushing for significant budget cuts months before the wildfires began.
Crowley also claimed she requested more money over a month ago because some firetrucks were due for immediate repairs, and hydrants needed fixing. However, her pleas fell on deaf ears.
Khloé shared a screenshot from Crowley’s interview on her Instagram Stories and expressed support for the fire chief.

Khloé Kardashian Slammed For Calling Out Mayor Karen Bass
Following Khloé’s post, many liberals took to social media to blast her for quickly calling out Bass but not doing the same to other controversial politicians and public figures.
One person on X wrote, “It’s interesting how Khloe Elon Musk Kardashian has been very quick to call Mayor Karen Bass “A JOKE” but had no smoke for Trump, JD Vance or Elon during this past election.”
A second person on X observed, “It’s something about the way Khloe Kardashian has been on IG reposting nothing but right-wing MAGA influencers’ content denigrating Mayor Bass in light of these devastating fires that don’t sit right with me. I never once saw her call out former Mayor Garcetti similarly…”

A third X user wrote, “I’m tired of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass getting demolished out here. And Khloe K needs to STFU. Let’s get something clear. If you are from LA, you know Los Angeles is a specific area. Khloe K needs to talk to HER own Mayor Alicia Weintraub. Yeah the Mayor of Calabasas. Dummy.”
Amid the criticism, Khloé, who shares two kids with NBA star Tristan Thompson, also received some support from people who felt she did the right thing, calling out Bass, who they felt should resign.
Kim Kardashian Blasted For Promoting SKIMS Wear Brand Amid Wildfires
Khloé isn’t the only Kardashian to have received criticism amid the wildfires. Her sister, Kim Kardashian, also got slammed after she promoted SKIMS’ winter sale.
After Kim shared the sale on Instagram Stories, Los Angeles writer and comedian Meredith Lynch called her out, accusing her of prioritizing her brand over the devastating wildfires.
A frustrated Lynch said, “Kim Kardashian, who has these huge reaches, who has such a base in Los Angeles, it is wild to me that they’re not like, ‘hey let me use my platform to put out as much resources as possible.'”
She added, “No, instead, she’s like ‘buy SKIMS.'”
Fans joined Lynch in blasting Kim, calling the latter’s post insensitive and accusing her of not caring about others.
