Kim Kardashian provoked a meme contest on Twitter after sharing photos from her birthday party on a private tropical island, as the celebrity admitted that she was “humbled and blessed” to have this “simple luxury” of travelling with her family and friends despite the COVID-19 crisis.
“There is not a single day that I take for granted, especially during these times when we are all reminded of the things that truly matter”, the KUWK star wrote.
Kim said the celebration “humbly reminded” her of how privileged her life was.

According to Kardashian, the trip was a surprise to her “closest inner circle” after she had asked them to quarantine for two weeks and undergo “multiple health screens”. And it was exactly this phrase that did not go unnoticed among social media users, who went on to offer their own interpretation of a “perfect” birthday bash during pandemic.
I love the idea that Kim Kardashian's closest friends quarantined for two weeks and THEN were surprised.

Commenting on Kim’s party snaps, The Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan called the model “a spoiled, tone-deaf imbecile”.
In the past Morgan has referred to the Kardashian clan as “a bunch of talentless narcissistic brain-dead bimbos”, and rejoiced in the family’s decision to stop production of their legendary show.
