Kim Kardashian West took to Instagram on
Thursday to reveal a brand new addition to her Kimoji collection: a candle of
herself as the Virgin Mary.
While many of her kimojis exist solely on her
messaging app, the “Kim candle” is available in real, tangible, candle form —
and will ship in one week for the price of $18.
Though the mother of two touted her candle on
social media, some of her fans weren’t so receptive to her new merchandise,
calling the candle sacrilegious, distasteful, disrespectful of Christian
culture and appropriating the veladoras of Latinx culture.
“Disgusting! As a Christian I’m truly
offended. If you knew who the Virgin Mary was and represented, you would
actually be embarrassed,” one follower wrote to Kardashian West on Twitter;
while another said they were “disappointed” with her decision to release the
product.
Kardashian West, who has yet to address the
controversy, hasn’t stayed off social media.
The Keeping up with the Kardashians star took
to Snapchat on Thursday night to share sexy videos of herself posing in a
bedazzled bikini.
