Kim Kardashian hit headlines last week when it was revealed that just 10 percent of the proceeds from her eBay wardrobe auction were being donated to the International Medical Corps’ relief fund for the victims of the Philippines Typhoon disaster.

The reality star, whose net worth is estimated at $40 million, was widely slammed for not donating at least a little more than the minimal amount required by Giving Works, eBay’s charitable arm. But now Kardashian is addressing the controversy on her personal website with a blog post entitled, “Giving Comes From the Heart.”

...sigh...

Human Trash.

Sperm receptacle.

Take you pick

[subterfuge]

So what were your charitable contributions this year Hollie?

[CaptainK]

I blame E Entertainment, Ryan Seacrest and everyone who has watched even one minute of their show for making multimillionaires out of this trash heap family.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

All of the above.

[cripplecreek]

Its better than nothing.

[Nevadan]

I too think that is cheap. On the other hand, what she gave (10%) is way more than most Democrat politicians, including Algore and Mr. Heinz gave to charitable causes during their presidential runs.

This America 2013. Where someone is famous for.......being famous. And we wonder why we’re circling the drain?

It’s her money and she can do what she wants with it.

[Uncle Chip]

TMZ showed video of the wardrobe auction and remarked that it looked like a poorly attended garage sale.

[bramps]

I obviously have way too much time on my hands because I read her explanation and have no problem with it and credit her for at least this effort.

Be angry at the morons who have enabled her to be so wealthy. Your friends and neighbors.

[McGruff]

I’ve never seen her on my TV. 10%? Guess she never was a waitress.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

She’s mostly disgraced her family name... which is a tall order considering her father was part of OJ Simpson’s defense team.

[Gay State Conservative]

Be angry at the morons who have enabled her to be so wealthy. Your friends and neighbors.

Speak for yourself there.The median IQ of *my* family,friends and neighbors is at least 110...and maybe even just a tad higher.

[The Antiyuppie]

On a percentage basis, it’s a lot more than CERTAIN DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH contribute...

[riri]

Well, a whole lotta somebodies are watching her shows, buying her crap and making her, not even a little wealthy, filthy stinking rich. And with that giant ass of hers to boot.

[Vigilanteman]

If 10 per cent is good enough for Jesus, then it ought to be enough for Uncle Sam (and the morality police).

[libstripper]

She is what you say she is, but the money is legitimately hers and she pays massive taxes. Slimy, parasitic busybodies have no business criticizing what she does with her own, legally earned money.
