Kim Kardashian has found herself at the receiving end of backlash yet again — this time for her coveted SKIMS advent calendar.
Social media users slammed the $148 Accessories Advent Calendar and called it "junk" after a TikTok video showed the creator unbox all 12 days of the item. The viral video shows the creator "pissed off" at the various items in the advent calendar, including SKIMS-branded keychains, silk hair ties, hair pins, a SKIMS squishy and Christmas ornaments.
“Kimberly, you’re genuinely about to piss me off,” the creator said. “This is way too expensive.” The video shared by @wetsloppyswollen has since garnered over 6 million likes on the platform.

It begins with the creator showing off a little teddy bear keychain, to which the user quips, "it's cute." She goes on to show off another item, some plain brown hair ties. This is followed by some plain silk hair ties, SKIMS branded bobby pins, a little squishy that says SKIMS, and two small SKIMS clips.
The creator then opens something that she doesn't recognize. "What is this?" she quips. "A bra strap made into a hair tie?"
Viewers rushed to the comments to slam the billionaire SKIMS mogul. A user wrote, "They played in your face girl but you just saved so many people money," with a crying emoji.

Someone else chimed in, "Worst calendar i've seen in my life that I had to comment 3 diff times in disbelief."
And a fourth person said, "I wouldn't pay $15 dollars for that."
Yet another user wrote, "actually temu JUNKK BRO [crying face emoji]."
This isn't the first time Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand has been slammed on the internet. Earlier this year, the brand was mixed in controversy after one of her clothing and underwear shipments had almost $10 million worth of cocaine being smuggled in it.

Authorities announced on Monday, May 18, that a British court had sentenced a truck driver to prison for smuggling $9.4 million worth of cocaine in an underwear and clothing shipment for SKIMS, which is Kim's shape wear brand.
According to the National Crime Agency, Jakub Jan Konkel, 40, drove a truck that had 28 pallets of SKIMS clothing from the Netherlands when border officials stopped him at a port in Essex in September.
Jakub reportedly stopped ahead of going to pick up 198 pounds of cocaine, and his truck was transformed so he was able to hide the drugs, which were wrapped up in 2.2-pound packages that were in a compartment of the truck's back doors.

According to the agency, the clothing shipment was authentic, with neither the exporter nor the importer being connected to the smuggled load.
Although Jakub initially denied any knowledge about the cocaine, he eventually revealed he agreed to move the drugs for a $4,500 euros ($5, 243), according to what the agency reported. The Chelmsford Crown Court sentenced Jakub to 13 1/2 years in prison.
