Kim Kardashian Finally Bends To Pressure From Social Media, Drops Kimono Name

Kim Kardashian spent a huge chunk of last week ruffling feathers and annoying everyone, especially the Japanese. This is after the reality TV star chose a very unlikely name for her new shape line, Kimono. We all know that ‘Kimono’ is a traditional dress worn by the Japanese, but Kardashian was adamant to drop it, even when she received a open letter from the mayor of Kyoto urging her to reconsider the name.

Well, this morning, she finally bent to pressure and decided to drop the name. See full statement below.

Being an entrepreneur and my own boss has been one of the most rewarding challenges I’ve been blessed with in my life. What’s made it possible for me after all of these years has been the direct line of communication with my fans and the public.

I am always listening, learning and growing — I so appreciate the passion and varied perspectives that people bring to me. When I announced the name of my shapewear line, I did so with the best intentions in mind.

My brands and products are built with inclusivity and diversity at their core and after careful thought and consideration, I will be launching my Solutionwear brand under a new name. I will be in touch soon. Thank you for your understanding and support always.”

Isn’t this one of those Kardashian PR stunts? Clearly we all saw this coming. What do you think?
