Khloé Kardashian Slammed For Putting 8-Year-Old Daughter In Khloud Commercial
The mom-of-two is facing criticism for featuring her daughter in a commercial for her Khloud protein popcorn brand, as social media users think she – and all the other Kardashian/Jenner kids – are too young to be working. Some even suggested it could spark unhealthy competition between the cousins!
In the commercial, True plays the CEO of the company, sitting confidently in a chair while her mom pitches ideas. The Kardashians star asks her daughter: "Ok CEO, why don't you help me try some new popcorn flavors?"

True then delivers her own spin on one of the most iconic The Devil Wears Prada quotes, saying: "Butter for popcorn? Groundbreaking. We can do better." The video then cuts to a boardroom-style scene, where True presents her concept – a birthday-themed flavor. "Think cake," she says, before adding: "More sprinkles."
As the clip wraps up, the Good American founder says: "Ok True, I have some more flavors I want you to try," before True declares: "That's my birthday popcorn."
The final shot reveals the birthday cake popcorn packaging, alongside the tagline: "It's True's birthday. That's the concept."
Reddit Comments
While some people thought the commercial was cute and even called True the "best actor" in the entire family, most others slammed Khloé for putting her daughter to work like this and "cashing in," to quote one Reddit user, on her.
"So sad to see them doing this to their kids. I wish they would just let them be and come into this when and if they want to," noted a second user.
"Child labor," slammed a third, as a fourth exclaimed: "And that's how little cash cows are born!" "This is sad and bad. Khloe acting thirsty for any attention," criticized a fifth.
A sixth predicted: "All their kids are gonna compete for the spotlight now. I can't. Let them be kids!" "Attaching her kid to her proprietary bland [expletive] popcorn [is] a great way to guilt trip people into buying it," wrote a seventh, followed by the eye-rolling emoji.
"Kid seems to be the best actor in that family!" quipped an eighth, as a ninth echoed: "Ngl, it was a cute commercial (True carrying the entire thing.)"
