One person told the star to 'get real.'
"Yeah, me living in poverty is my fault thanks, Kourtney Kardashian," another person scoffed, while one added: "Sounds like a 'what if' of privilege tbh."
"I know what you’re saying, and also… do you know how many humans know their deep worth (spoiler: it’s the same as yours), yet live in extreme poverty or the Holocaust or Iran? I’d say your perspective is more about gratitude for your riches and safety and place, and not bc you willed this life for yourself and it abracadabra, manifest for you. Get real," the commenter continued.
