Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is facing a wave of criticism following her daughter North West’s recent performance in a school rendition of “The Lion King.” The performance, which was intended to showcase young talent, has instead sparked a social media backlash due to what many are calling a “horrible” portrayal.
Videos of North’s performance quickly circulated online, suggested that North may not have been adequately prepared for the role. Some commenters accused Kardashian of using her influence to secure her daughter, dubbed a “nepobaby” due to her famous lineage, a prominent role, potentially at the expense of other, more deserving students.
Fans of the Kardashian family have defended North, emphasizing that she is just a child and that the harsh critiques are unwarranted. Many supporters argue that the backlash highlights the undue pressure placed on celebrity children and the unrealistic expectations they face.
Kardashian has not yet publicly responded to the criticism. This incident has reignited debates about the impact of fame on children and the responsibilities of celebrity parents in managing public scrutiny.
