Khloe Kardashian Ignites Outrage By Posing Under A ‘Fidel’ Sign In Cuba


Khloe Kardashian is causing some controversy. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star sparked outrage when she recently posted a photo on Instagram in which she’s posing against a wall inscribed with a quote by Fidel Castro.

As Us Weekly notes, the comment section of the photo was soon filled with opinions that were very critical of Khloe.

“It’s one thing to go to another country to attend and support a fashion show but another to exploit their people and post this atrocious picture with the name of the man who tortured and killed thousands of people and continues to do so,” @michele_n_jason commented. “You’re right, if I went to North Korea and posed in a picture supporting their leader and people starving people would just be offended, right?”

Some compared Fidel Castro’s record in Cuba to the Armenian genocide.

“Wow… before you take a picture glorifying Fidel how about you get informed… Fidel is just like the dictators in Armenia that killed so many Armenians,” @sutrera0612 wrote.

“You and your sister talk about the Armenian genocide and want to bring awareness to it, yet you do something like this. With all the money you have, you should invest a little and educate yourself,” @aariddannee added.

As Us Weekly notes, Khloe did receive some support from her fans.

“She’s more successful and hardworking than most people,” one person commented. “It’s actually work to become a world wide known brand….”

Kardashian was in Cuba along with her sisters, Kim and Kourtney. Kim Kardashian’s husband, Kanye West, and her daughter North West also came along for the trip. Hollywood Life reports that as soon as the Kardashian clan landed in Havana, they jumped into hot pink convertibles and were chauffeured through the city streets. According to Hollywood Life, the E! cameras were on hand to capture every moment of the trip, so we can expect to see more of it in an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

In the meantime, fans of the Kardashians can satisfy their curiosity by checking out their Instagram pages.

Khloe Kardashian doesn’t seem to have been too affected by the backlash. She recently tweeted that the trip encouraged her to work on her Spanish.

One notable absence from the family trip was Lamar Odom’s, especially as he’s been seen out and about with the Kardashians ever since he recovered from his health crisis.

There have been reports, however, that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom plan to move forward with the divorce but Odom is refusing to accept the terms of the settlement.

According to a recent article in In Touch Weekly, the terms of the $15 million dollar divorce were previously agreed on by both parties, but now Lamar has an issue with them.

“Their prior settlement, which they signed off on last summer, was very clear-cut: The only asset they were splitting was the sale price of their Tarzana [Calif.] mansion,” an alleged family source explains. “But now Lamar wants to get as much money as he can out of her because the majority of his own wealth is gone.”

According to the alleged source, Khloe was shocked by Lamar’s refusal to accept the terms of the divorce.

“She plans to ask the judge to approve the same financial settlement she and Lamar previously signed off on,” the reported source adds.”Khloé was stunned beyond words.”
