Kim Kardashian’s $148 SKIMS advent calendar brutally slammed for being ‘junk’ rip-off: ‘This should be lawsuit-worthy’

It’s beginning to look a lot like a rip-off.

Kim Kardashian has found herself on the naughty list as her SKIMS advent calendar faces backlash online.

Social media users have branded the $148 Accessories Advent Calendar “junk” following a TikTok video in which the creator unboxed all 12 days of the seemingly highly coveted item, which has since sold out and is now on a waitlist.

In the viral video, which has garnered more than 45 million views at the time of writing, the creator becomes increasingly “pissed off” as she unwraps the various items, including SKIMS-branded keychains, silk hair ties, hair pins, a SKIMS squishy and Christmas ornaments.

“Kimberly, you’re genuinely about to piss me off,” the creator said in the clip. “This is way too expensive.”

Others echoed the creator’s sentiments in the comments, with one social media user claiming the advent calendar “should be lawsuit-worthy, and I’m not joking.”

Another fumed, “$150 is WILD for maaaaybe $20 worth of stuff,” while a third added that the items were “basically everything that falls between my car seats.”

One said it looked like they were “cleaning out Kim’s nightstand,” while another wrote that they “played in your face, girl, but you just saved so many people money,” and a third branded the items “Temu junk.”

Page Six has reached out to Kardashian’s representatives for comment but did not immediately hear back.

It’s not the first time Kardashian, 46, has sparked online debate over SKIMS, which she launched back in 2019.

Just last year, the brand raised eyebrows with the launch of its “Ultimate Bush” collection, featuring thongs with faux hair in a variety of textures and tones attached to the front.

One social media user joked they were “calling 911,” while another wrote, “I just googled the date to make sure it’s not April 1.”

In 2024, the reality TV star also faced backlash for making a “mockery” of religion after posing “half-naked” while wearing a rosary for a SKIMS collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana.

“I don’t feel right with a rosary 📿 and this type of photo shoot ☹️,” one social media user wrote at the time.

Another added, “Nothing about you is holy,” urging Kardashian to “take the rosaries off.”
