American Media Personality, socialite, and Businesswoman, Kim Kardashian has come under attack on social media for advising women in business to work hard.

Kim who gave the advice in an interview with Variety ahead of the release of her family’s new show, ‘The Kardashians’, also enjoined women to surround themselves with people that are willing to work in a good work environment where everyone loves what they do.

She said “I have the best advice for women in business, get up and work, it seems like nobody wants to work these days. You have to surround yourself with people that want to work.

“Have a good work environment where everyone loves what they do because you have one life. No toxic work environments’’.
