Kim Kardashian is facing criticism online once again over her parenting—but this time, it has nothing to do with North West. She’s being criticized after photos from a family dinner showed her children in “dirty” and stained clothes. See the photos here!
The reality TV star was recently spotted attending Scott Disick’s 43rd birthday celebration at Nobu Malibu. The family gathering included Kim and her children, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm, along with Kris Jenner, Scott Disick and his children Mason, Penelope, and Reign. Kim’s boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, and his mother, Carmen Larbalestier, were also reportedly in attendance.

Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash Over Her Kids’ ‘Stained’ Shirts
While the star-studded guest list drew attention, it was a photo of the 45-year-old walking hand-in-hand with some of her children that sparked a wave of commentary online.
For the outing, the Skims mogul wore one of her signature high-fashion-meets-athleisure looks: a black windbreaker-style jacket with reflective detailing tucked into a skin-tight gray skirt. She completed the ensemble with strappy heels, oversized sunglasses, and her dark hair pulled back into a sleek bun.
However, some social media users focused less on Kim’s outfit and more on what her children were wearing. In photos from the event, Saint appeared to have a stain on the front of his shirt, while Psalm’s dark gray sweater appeared to have visible wet marks across the chest.
The images quickly made their way to Reddit, where commenters shared strong opinions about the boys’ appearance.
“Why are the kids’ clothing dirty? You can see the two boys especially have stains on their shirts. Not dissing the kids but that is the fault of the parent in charge,” one user wrote. “She no doubt spent hours on her look with a team of hair and makeup people but her own kids look like they slept in their clothes.”
Another commenter added, “I’m sure she has the nannies wake them from their rooms approximately 20 minutes before leaving.”
Others were even more critical. “Poor kids,” one person wrote. Another claimed, “Took the pic for the paps then sent the kids away in a separate car while she hopped in the car with her boyfriend, probably to go to their child-free Malibu house. This is probably the 30 minutes a day that she brags about spending with her kids.”
One commenter went as far as to say, “Her kids are just accessories like Paris’ little dogs. It’s very sad.”
The criticism comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Kim’s parenting, particularly as her children continue to spend more time in the public eye. While some fans defended her and pointed out that stains on children’s clothing are hardly unusual and might’ve been because they ate right before the photos were taken, others viewed the images as evidence that Kim prioritizes her own image over her children’s appearance.

Kim Kardashian Says Homework Should ‘Stay At School’
The actress has previously spoken about how important family time is to her, even arguing that children should spend less time on schoolwork once they get home.
During an appearance on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 livestream in 2025, Kardashian shared her controversial views on homework, explaining that she doesn’t think kids should have to bring school assignments home with them.
“I don’t believe in homework,” she said. “Kids are in school for eight hours a day.”
She went on to argue that after a full day in the classroom, children should be focusing on other aspects of their lives.
“When they come home, they should be doing sports, having a life, and spending time with their family,” Kim explained. “I think homework should stay at school.”
Her comments sparked debate at the time, with some parents agreeing that children need more downtime and family interaction, while others felt homework remains an important part of reinforcing what students learn in class.
