In the early hours of October 3, masked gunmen held Kim Kardashian at gunpoint in her Paris hotel and stole more than $10 million in jewelry. Her husband, Kanye West, ended his concert in NYC as soon as he heard the news, and Kim made plans to fly home via private jet. Even though more horrifying details emerged as the night went on—she was bound and gagged; she begged for her life—plenty of Kardashian haters used the opportunity to mock Kim and her ostentatious lifestyle. Thankfully, Kim’s friend, Chrissy Teigen, is here to tell all those people to kindly shut up.
Some shit just isn't funny. I see you trying, but it isn't.

Fame is interesting. Celebs are supposed to love you guys while also knowing you'd make a meme of our dead bodies to get retweets

I dunno. It's hard to explain because everyone thinks money and fame is pure awesome, so it just sounds whiny. I get it, trust me. Go off.

It is just a weird little world that I cannot expect anyone to get. I know it seems super awesome and laughable. I know.

I myself think it is bonkers.

No one is begging you for sympathy. I know the game plan is to naturally hate celebrities https://t.co/EMHRslQKu6

I'm not trying to be condescending. I really do get it. I would be the same way if I didn't have the random opportunity to see both sides.

Please do not think that I think celebrities are special snowflakes. I just miss empathy, in general, for everyone.

“Some shit just isn’t funny,” she wrote. “I see you trying, but it isn’t.” She also pointed out the contradiction inherent in the idea that celebrities are supposed to love their fans, but not complain when those fans “make a meme of our dead bodies to get retweets.” Chrissy’s always vocal follower base immediately responded by asking her why they should feel sorry for people rich enough to own $10 million in jewelry, but she had a response for that as well. “Please do not think that I think celebrities are special snowflakes,” she continued. “I just miss empathy, in general, for everyone.”
Late Late Show host James Corden also chimed in to chide jokesters for mocking Kim’s harrowing experience, as did noted Kardashian hater Piers Morgan. Kim herself has not yet commented, but her representatives have said she’s “badly shaken” but uninjured. “She will be OK,” Kris Jenner told E! News.
People making jokes about @KimKardashian tonight would do well to remember that she's a mother,a daughter,a wife,a friend.Be nice or shut up
