Kim Kardashian criticised for tweet saying flu 'can be an amazing diet'
- Published
Kim Kardashian is being criticised after posting a message saying that getting the flu "can be an amazing diet".
The reality TV star said she'd lost 6lb after getting ill but that she was "so happy it came in time for the Met lol".
She's talking about her illness being good for losing weight before attending New York's Met Gala on 1 May.
Many Twitter users said her comment was insensitive but others replied saying she was just being sarcastic.
She's now deleted the tweet.
Kira said the star should think before she tweets.
Kevin said flu does have more serious consequences than losing weight.
And Nicholas also said some people couldn't afford to buy medicine to stop the flu becoming more serious.
Mel says getting the flu could kill her.
Carmen said she influences young people, so shouldn't be advocating weight loss through getting ill.
But Staci thinks Kim Kardashian was joking and people need to lighten up on Twitter.
Aiesha also thinks people don't get sarcasm.
