Kim Kardashian is under fire after customers blasted her $148 SKIMS Advent Calendar as a rip-off, with one viral TikTok video exposing the disappointing contents—ranging from branded keychains to a repurposed bra strap hair tie.
The controversy erupted when a buyer posted a video unpacking the calendar, which has since sold out with a waitlist. The clip, viewed over 65 million times, shows the customer growing increasingly frustrated as she reveals items like silk hair ties, foam squishies, and Christmas ornaments, calling the purchase ‘way too expensive.’
‘Should Be Lawsuit-Worthy’
Social media erupted in outrage, with commenters dubbing the calendar a ‘box full of pranks’ and joking, ‘Did she say SKIMS or scams?’ One user even suggested the product was ‘lawsuit-worthy.’
SKIMS responded to the backlash, telling Page Six that they’ve reached out to all buyers with refund or credit options. ‘We understand that for some, the calendar didn’t meet expectations,’ a spokesperson said.
Not SKIMS’ First Flop
This isn’t the first time the brand has faced ridicule. Last year, SKIMS drew widespread mockery for its ‘Ultimate Bush’ underwear line, featuring thongs with faux pubic hair in shades like ‘Clay Ginger Straight.’ Social media users joked they were ‘calling 911’ and double-checking the date to ensure it wasn’t an April Fool’s prank.
Despite the missteps, SKIMS remains a powerhouse in Kardashian’s business empire. But with customers now questioning whether the brand delivers value—or just hype—this latest scandal could leave a lasting dent.
