Fans came at her for using the offensive word and called her out on it. One person on Twitter said, “Why is it still acceptable that @KimKardashian uses this kind of disrespectful rhetoric in 2018?”
Khloe Kardashian once uttered the word back in July as well on an IG Livestream. After followers called her out, she also apologized. "Ugh I hate that word! Why did I even say that?" she replied at the time. "You are a million percent right and I actually greatly dislike when people use that word! I will do better! I am sorry!"
