Reality legend Kim Kardashian-West will be donating $1 million [£766,398] from her SKIMS shapewear brand in order to help mums and children who are in need during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is the latest star to donate to relief funds helping those affected by Covid-19.
Despite her generous donation, some were left unimpressed claiming it wasn’t generous enough.
Several of her 164 million Instagram followers also questioned why she had chosen to re-launch and sell her bodywear products in order to make a donation to the causes.
Taking to Instagram, the trainee-lawyer announced that she would be restocking the underwear collection to bring relief to those who may be in need.

Sharing a snap wearing the neutral-toned pieces, Kim posed alongside a group of women saying: “To support Mothers and Children in need during this time, I’m proud to announce @SKIMS is committed to donating $1M to families affected by COVID-19.
“On Monday, we will restock the collection we first launched with, and in doing so, be able to help bring relief to those affected by this pandemic. Shop the Solutionwear restock on March 30 at 9AM PST / 12PM EST.”
Close friend and PR guru Simon Huck commented: “Unbelievable” and several love hearts supporting his pal.

While supermodel Winnie Harlow went on to say: “Amazing Kim.”
However, multiple fans were less pleased and accused the mum-of-four of attempting to profit from the pandemic which has taken thousands of lives.
“So confused by this. Why are you needing to launch a product in order to donate?” penned one follower.

A third follower went on to say: “Rihanna donates 5 million without us having to buy her products.”
