00:00Now let's jump into it with Kim Kardashian because today it's really all about Kim.
00:05Recall during an interview from March 9th with Variety, the Skims founder was trying to give some advice to women who want to be as successful as she is.
00:13At least she thought she was giving that advice when she said get your effing ass up and work.
00:18Well it seems people didn't really appreciate that statement and it caused some widespread criticism due to her privilege that in turn helped with her success.
00:26Now during an interview with Good Morning America Kim directly addressed the backlash and said her comments were quote taken out of context.
00:34She offered a sincere apology and explained what she meant by that saying having a social media presence and being on a reality TV show does not actually mean overnight success.
00:44You really have to work hard to get there even if it might seem like it's easy and that you can build a really successful business on social media.
00:51And you can if you put in the hard work. It wasn't a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don't respect the work or think that they don't work hard.
01:00I know that they do. It was taken out of context and I'm really sorry if it was received that way.
