Fan, Kaelynn Abner thanked Khloe Kardashian for sending her Good American clothes after the reality star received huge backlash for calling her “cute.”
The mother-of-one sparked controversy online when she responded to Kaelynn’s tweet, which said: “So I realized I have to work 20 hours in order to afford @khloekardashian jeans…and I’m in love with them…catch me picking up extra shifts.”
Khloe’s reply outraged fans, as she simply replied: “Awwwwww this is so cute!!!! I’m so happy you enjoy them”.
Awwwwww this is so cute!!!! I’m so happy you enjoy them

Many fans criticised Khloe for her response and one even tweeted: “not to sound like a hater but this actually upsets me!! someone had to work a stupid amount of hours to afford ONE pair of jeans.”
“A millionaire thinks it’s “cute” that ppl have to calculate & think how many hours they have to work to afford little things.”
Some fans also suggested that Khloe should send Kaelynn the jeans from her clothing line, and Kaelynn has since revealed that the KUWTK star did just that.
The Kardashian fan took to Twitter to thank Khloe for sending her a number of Good American clothing items: “I still can’t believe my tweet got so much attention. I have adored @khloekardashian for so long and am so thankful she took the time out of her day to send me some AMAZING clothes.”

“I never once took her tweet to be anything other than positive. My bulletin board says it all!!” she added.
“I am so happy you received your Good American goodies!!! Keep working hard and being such a positive soul,” Khloe replied.
While Khloe had previously ignored the backlash from fans, the reality star opened up about the situation after Kaelynn received the package and said that she always intended to send her the clothes.
“Sadly, the negative things spread like wild fire. I was so honored this young woman spent her hard earned money on GA, I was sending her GA out of pure gratitude/appreciation as soon as I saw her tweet. I was surprising her. Never did I think my tweet would be taken so negatively.”
