'Money can buy happiness': Kim Kardashian faces backlash as son Saint walks out with Lionel Messi at soccer game

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian sparked controversy after her eight-year-old son, Saint, had the privilege of walking out with soccer legend Lionel Messi ahead of Inter Miami's MLS clash against LA Galaxy.

While Kardashian shared the proud moment on social media, it quickly drew criticism from some quarters, with accusations that Saint's opportunity deprived less fortunate children of similar experiences.

The reality TV star's post on X, formerly known as Twitter, showcasing Saint walking onto the field with Messi garnered mixed reactions. While Kardashian expressed joy over her son's dream coming true, some social media users condemned the act, suggesting that Kardashian may have paid for the opportunity, leading to debates about wealth and privilege.

Critics questioned the fairness of Saint's participation, with comments like "Money can buy happiness. Debate closed," and "Whoever said money is not everything was lying. Even Messi can be bought."

Others echoed similar sentiments, implying that Saint's access to such experiences was a result of his family's wealth.

Another user wrote, "Tell the truth how much that cost."

However, defenders of Saint quickly came to his aid saying, "The jealousy in the comments, he is a KID! That’s AMAZING, @KimKardashian

!! He’s definitely living his best life as he should!"

Another added "I love when rich people use thier resources to make their kids happy."

Kim Kardashian faces criticism for advising Kanye West on Bianca Censori's attire

Kim Kardashian finds herself under scrutiny once again, this time for reportedly advising her ex-husband Kanye West to encourage his new wife, Bianca Censori, to dress more modestly around their children.

This latest controversy adds to the ongoing media attention surrounding Kardashian and her interactions with West.

Recent reports indicate that Kardashian received backlash for allegedly suggesting to West that Censori should refrain from wearing revealing attire in the presence of their shared children.

This advice comes in the wake of West facing criticism for sharing explicit images of Censori on his Instagram, a move he defended by expressing his enjoyment in showcasing his wife's pictures.

According to sources cited by the Daily Mail, Kardashian, while maintaining an amicable relationship with Censori, reportedly disapproves of her choice to wear scandalous outfits around their children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

Insiders revealed that Kardashian instructed West to ensure Censori adopts a more modest wardrobe when in the presence of their kids.

The Daily Mail reports that Kardashian herself faced similar circumstances during her marriage to West, albeit with roles reversed, as she was purportedly encouraged by West to cover up and modify her attire if he deemed it too revealing.
