Take that! Kim took to her website to defend herself against haters who have slammed her for donating just 10 percent of her eBay Giving Works auction proceeds to victims of the typhoon in the Philippines.
Kim Kardashian has always been generous with her earnings, but after she announced that proceeds for her eBay auction last week would “go directly to the communities they’re serving in the Philippines and will help typhoon survivors get access to medical care and ultimately save lives,” critics accused her of giving the public the wrong impression about how much money would actually go to the victims. Kim, 33, was so “hurt” by the attacks that she penned a post aimed at her naysayers, called “Giving Comes From The Heart.”
Kim Kardashian Gives 10% Of ALL Earnings To Charity — Defends eBay Auction
Poor Kim! All she wants to do is help those who are less fortunate than her, but it seems she can’t win. Here’s what she had to say to her critics:
Kanye West Proposes to Kim Kardashian
I feel compelled to speak about something that is in my head and my heart. Over the years, I’ve had to grow a thick skin. Being in the public eye, there are times I feel like I get criticized for any and everything I do. I’m used to it now. I just choose not to feed into negativity or become consumed by it.
The problem comes in when I get attacked for giving and trying to help people. My dad always taught me the importance of giving back. I don’t publicize everything I do to help charities and people all over the world. I do it because I want to. I do it because my dad taught me to. I do it because it’s the right thing to do. So for people to attack me for giving 10% of my eBay auction sales to the people of the Philippines, that hurts.
