I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year."by Kristen HarrisBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLink Sometimes, celebrities give quotes that are inspirational to us non-famous folks. Other times, however, they open their mouths and say something so out-of-touch that it almost doesn't seem real. Here are 16 wildly out-of-touch things celebs actually said: 1. In 2019, a fan tweeted that she'd be picking up extra shifts at work because she'd need to work 20 hours to afford jeans from Khloé Kardashian's brand, Good American. Kardashian replied, "Awwwwww this is so cute!!!! I'm so happy you enjoy them." George Pimentel / Getty Images 2. In the midst of inflation and public discourse about the heavy toll private jets take on the environment, Kylie Jenner posted a since-deleted Instagram picture of herself and her then-partner, Travis Scott, with their personal (individual!) private jets. She captioned it, "You wanna take mine or yours?" Axelle / Getty Images / Via Getty 3. Kim Kardashian, who was born into a wealthy family, faced backlash when she shared her "advice for women in business" with Variety. She said, "Get your fucking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days. Variety / Via youtube.com In response, she claimed the quote was taken out of context, but Variety refuted this. 4. During the early onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vanessa Hudgens went on Instagram Live and said, "But like, it's a virus. I get it, I respect it. But at the same time, like, even if everyone gets it, like yeah, people are gonna die, which is terrible, but like, inevitable? I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be doing this right now." Vanessa Hudgens / Via youtube.com After initially claiming her words were taken out of context, she later apologized.
On Twitter, she wrote, "This has been a huge wake up call about the significance my words have, now more than ever. I'm sending safe wishes to everyone to stay safe and healthy during this crazy time." 5. During public discourse about nepotism and privilege, Jennifer Aniston, whose parents were successful actors, told Variety's Actors on Actors, "This thing of people becoming famous for basically doing nothing...I feel so lucky that we got a little taste of the industry before it became what it is today. More streaming services... you're famous from TikTok... you're famous from YouTube... you're famous from Instagram... it's almost like it's diluting the actor's job." Variety / Via youtube.com 6. Similarly, Lily-Rose Depp, whose first two film roles were alongside her famous father, told Elle, "The internet cares a lot more about who your family is than the people who are casting you in things. Maybe you get your foot in the door, but you still just have your foot in the door. There's a lot of work that comes after that." Emma Mcintyre / Getty Images 7. Discussing her son's experiences with moving into his own apartment in Brooklyn, Kelly Ripa jokingly told Jimmy Kimmel Live, "I think he loves the freedom. He hates paying his own rent, and he's chronically poor. I don't think he ever really experienced extreme poverty like now." ABC / Via youtube.com 8. Love Island contestant-turned-PrettyLittleThing creative director Molly Mae Hague (who's paid a six-figure salary from a company that's been accused of illegally underpaying garment workers) told the The Diary of a CEO podcast, "Beyoncé has the same 24 hours in the day that we do and I just think, like, you're given one life, and it's up to you what you do with it, you can literally go in any direction." The Diary of a CEO / Via youtube.com In response to backlash, her team released this statement: "Molly is not commenting on anyone else's life or personal situation. She can only speak of her own experience." 9. During a 2015 episode of The View, Kelly Osbourne attempted to call out then-presidential candidate Donald Trump by saying, "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?" ABC / Via youtube.com Her co-host, Rosie Perez, immediately called her out, saying, "Latinos are not the only people to do that."Afterward, in a Facebook post, Osbourne wrote, "I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. In this particular case I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words but I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT. I whole-hearted fucked up today. I don't want to bullshit anyone with lame excuses. Although, I was stopped mid-sentence by Rosie and couldn't finish my point, I will not let Rosie take responsibility for my words.
