Kim Kardashian Wants Everyone to Know How She Feels About Those Kanye West ‘Get Out’ Memes

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Kim Kardashian isn’t mincing words when it comes to her feelings about those hilarious “Get Out” memes featuring her and her husband Kanye West.

In an interview with Elle magazine, the reality starlet opened up about how her family is portrayed in the media. She slammed the “so f—ing dumb” people who have put her and Ye as the face of the meme.

“Another dumb f—ing Kanye ‘Get Out’ reference,” she says. “It’s like, people are so f—ing dumb and stupid.”

The Oscar-nominated film, released Feb. 2017, was blasted into pop culture thanks to its racial satirical plot. It follows the first time Chris, a Black man, meets his white girlfriend’s parents, which leads him to be trapped in the sunken place so that his artistic eye can be used by a white person. Meanwhile, Chris retains his consciousness but he’s unable to use it.

Immediately following the film’s release, countless memes and Twitter collages were launched and Kim K is clearly not a fan of them.

A year after the film’s debut, the “Get Out” memes persist.

Even still, Kardashian found herself to be the one mocked after her interview.

“Looool Awww Kim hates people saying that Kanye is in the sunken place,” someone tweeted.

“Lmfao Kim K really mad over the Kanye sunken place comments s— is hilarious,” said another.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
