Kim Kardashian has found herself in hot water after a TikTok user claimed she ‘pulled strings’ to secure her daughter, North West, a role in The Lion King. This accusation has ignited a flurry of criticism on social media, with many fans expressing their displeasure over what they perceive as nepotism.
A video shared by a TikTok user alleged that Kim paid to get North the part, even though other children, including the TikTok user’s daughter, were more suitable. This claim sparked a wave of negative comments directed at the Kardashian family.
One Twitter user commented, “This family has never been told ‘no,’ and it’s sad.” Another criticized on Reddit, “Pimp mama Kim. How gross and entitled the KarJenners are…it’s disgusting.”
Despite the backlash, some users were skeptical about the video’s authenticity. One pointed out that the TikTok post might have been a joke, as the original poster is a comedian known for her satirical content.
North West made her stage debut as Simba in The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl, receiving a standing ovation for her performance. The ten-year-old impressed the audience at the 30th anniversary concert celebrating the Disney classic. Her family, including her proud parents, grandmother Kris Jenner, and aunt Kourtney Kardashian with her husband Travis Barker, were present to support her.
The concert was a live-to-film event featuring other notable performers like Jennifer Hudson, Jeremy Irons, Billy Eichner, and Nathan Lane. North’s performance showcased her talent and potential to succeed on stage, despite the surrounding controversy.
