Kim Kardashian is facing backlash from fans who are calling for her to apologize for an insensitive post she made about Kate Middleton last week. The post, which has since been deemed inappropriate, came amidst speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding Middleton’s absence from the public eye, which was later revealed to be due to her cancer diagnosis.

On March 17th, Kim posted a photo of herself on Instagram with the caption, “On my way to go find Kate,” referencing the speculation about Middleton’s whereabouts. However, after Middleton’s cancer diagnosis was revealed, many criticized Kim for making light of the situation. Despite the backlash, Kim has not yet addressed the post or issued an apology, leaving the post still up on her Instagram.

Fans have flooded the comments section of Kim’s post, calling for her to apologize and take the post down. Some comments have been more personal, bringing up Kim’s father, who died of cancer. However, Kim has remained silent on the matter, even when asked by a reporter about Kate’s diagnosis.

While Kim is not the only one who made light of the situation, with other celebrities and media personalities also facing criticism, fans are particularly upset with her for not acknowledging the post or the situation. Many believe that a simple apology and the removal of the post would be a reasonable response, considering the circumstances.

As of now, Kim has not made any public statement regarding the post, leaving fans disappointed and calling for her to take responsibility for her actions.
