This incident is not the first time Kim Kardashian has been criticized for cultural appropriation
Kim Kardashian recently faced significant backlash after using a Lord Ganesha idol as a prop in a photoshoot, which many found disrespectful and offensive. The photo, posted on Instagram, featured Kardashian in a revealing outfit with the idol placed behind her.
This sparked outrage among her followers, particularly from the Hindu community, who accused her of cultural insensitivity and disrespect towards a revered religious figure.
Critics took to social media to express their disapproval, calling the photoshoot “trashy” and accusing Kardashian of using sacred symbols merely as decorative props. The backlash was swift and widespread, prompting Kardashian to delete the controversial image from her Instagram account.
This incident is not the first time Kardashian has been criticized for cultural appropriation. She has previously been called out for wearing traditional African hairstyles and appropriating Japanese culture. The repeated nature of these incidents has led to increased scrutiny over her use of cultural symbols without proper understanding or respect for their significance.
Kardashian has yet to issue a public apology or statement addressing the controversy surrounding the Lord Ganesha idol photoshoot. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about cultural appropriation in the fashion and entertainment industries and the importance of respecting cultural and religious symbols.
