Kim Kardashian is putting her new acting career to good use, but some internet users are not buying it.
The reality star revealed that she would be auctioning off outfits she wore in Ryan Murphy’s legal drama, All’s Fair, to fundraise for a charity. The charity provides legal aid to women in need, a cause close to Kim’s heart. However, numerous internet users found the auction to be unnecessary, given how much money she makes on her own.

Kim Kardashian Announces She's Auctioning Her 'All's Fair' Wardrobe For A Women's Charity
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians icon has been causing a stir with her acting career, one of her most recent projects being All's Fair, the legal drama created by Ryan Murphy, with whom she's worked in the past.
In the series, Kim plays Aurora, a high-power female attorney who not only sticks to representing women but also wears an impressive designer wardrobe. Now, she's letting go of some of those wardrobe pieces to help others in need. On Instagram, she shared several pictures of herself in costume and shared the news of an exciting charity project she has in the works, an auction for her character's wardrobe pieces.
"In All's Fair, I play a lawyer who sees firsthand how the legal system can either empower women or leave them behind," she wrote. "But in the real world, the 'price of justice' is a barrier that many women simply cannot afford...100% of net sales will go directly to the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA) to fund their free legal services for women who are fighting for their safety, their children, and their futures."
Internet Users Slam Kim For Her Auction On Social Media
The auction, which will be taking place today, will include numerous custom designer pieces created specifically for the mom-of-four's character. Some of those outfits were created by major designers like Roberto Cavalli, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, and more.
Many of the SKIMS founder's loyal fans praised her for the auction, especially knowing her background of going to law school and wanting to become a lawyer like her dad. She was praised for acknowledging those who live completely different lives from her, but there was still a large number of internet users who weren't buying it.
Numerous users on platforms like Instagram criticized the celebrity, writing that they found it strange and unnecessary to fundraise for a charity when she makes enough money to donate straight from her earnings.
"What a joke," commented a user, as another asked, "Why not donate the money herself?"
"Only other rich people can afford this," added a user.
"Why [are you] raising money when you're a billionaire?" asked another. "Just give some."
"Sounds nice, but why [is it] when these celebrities have millions, [they] don't just donate money instead, since the average person can't afford to buy anything?" added a user.
