While she's studying to become a lawyer, it's apparent that people still think that reality television star and beauty mogul, Kim Kardashian West, isn't the smartest cookie around.
The mother-of-three has started a four-year apprenticeship to become a criminal justice lawyer, which was inspired by her trip to the White House, and her influence in releasing 63-year-old Alice Marie Johnson from jail - who was serving a life sentence for a one-time, non-violent drug trafficking charge.
Now, during an interview for Vogue's 73 questions series, Kim gave a tour of her house with her rapper husband, Kanye West. In it, she was asked to describe herself in three words. Her reply? "I hate describing myself".
Then she proffers: "I would say… sweet and smart," which is of course one word short. Finally, she added that she thought that she was "kind" too.
Obviously, the irony wasn't lost on the people of the internet, who were quick to point out that saying you're "smart", while getting the answer wrong isn't the best look.
In other, not-so-smart news, Kim was recently accused of cultural appropriation... again.
Earlier this month, the 38-year-old took to Instagram to post a photo where she's wearing a white dress, accessorised with a gold Indian headpiece and matching earrings. She wore the outfit to Kanye's exclusive Sunday Service gathering.
The headpiece is traditionally worn by Indian women for the first time on their wedding day. The "maang tikkaa" is placed on the bride's hairline, and it features a drop pendant which rests on the forehead.
It is one of 16 traditional Indian bridal adornments, known as the solah shringaar.
People were quick to slam the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star. "Of course, you have to disrespect the indian culture cause u think its a costume. I forgot u were shameless [sic]," wrote one Instagram user, while another corroborated "Nope, Kim. Definitely not here for it. This is Asian heritage, not your damn costume!!!"
"For those of you who don’t know, the maang tikka is a ceremonial head piece traditionally worn by the bride. Wearing white in India is traditionally reserved for funerals. On top of that she wore this to a Christain service. If she wore the maang tikka to a traditional Indian event I’d KINDA get it like oh she tried... but idk. She probably thought it was just jewelry, but when that piece has literally been used for centuries wouldn’t you kinda think there must be some sort of significant meaning held towards it?" wrote a third.
Kim has, however, defended herself in the past against accusations of cultural appropriation.
"I actually did that look because North said she wanted braids and asked if I would do them with her," she told Bustle regarding the fulani braids controversy.
"I [do] remember the backlash when I had the blonde hair and that I called them ‘Bo Derek braids.’ But I obviously know they’re called fulani braids and I know the origin of where they came from and I’m totally respectful of that. I’m not tone deaf to where I don’t get it. I do get it."
Of course, this isn't the first time Kim Kardashian has faced controversy. Here she is squealing with joy when her sisters call her "anorexic":
Oh Kim...
