Kim Kardashian is clearing up the confusion around her latest vacation post on social media after some fans questioned the timing.
The Skims founder, 45, posted a carousel of family happy snaps via her Instagram on Thursday, July 16, which showed her and her loved ones enjoying a fun getaway. “Lake life,” she captioned the image.
The post went live around the same time that Kris Jenner announced the death of her mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, at 91.
The timing left fans scratching their heads, with some accusing Kardashian of being insensitive.
“Didn’t your grandmama just pass? This couldn’t wait to the weekend 😕,” one follower wrote, while another chimed in to add, “I’m so confused.”
Others threw their support behind Kardashian however, with one person commenting, “Do you guys really think she would post this intentionally at the same time as the news of her grandma passing? It’s clearly a scheduled post. Get a grip.”
In response to the confusion, Kardashian took to the comments section to clarify what had occurred, confirming it was in fact a scheduled post.
“This post was scheduled a few days ago before we lost MJ, so its timing came right alongside her passing,” she explained. “I’ve been by my mom and grandma’s side this past week, and my heart is completely with my family right now. We love and miss her so deeply, and in the days ahead, we’ll be focusing on celebrating her beautiful life 🕊️🤍.”
An hour after the scheduled vacation post dropped, Kardashian shared a heartfelt tribute to her late grandmother.
“My sweet Grandma MJ, my best friend, my gossip buddy, my forever twin… You taught all of us the importance of family, and those values are something we’ll carry with us forever!!!!! You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman. You gave me my very first job at your store in San Diego and taught me lessons about work ethic, strength, and confidence that I’ve carried with me ever since,” Kardashian wrote.
The caption continued, “You always believed in me, championed me, and were my safe place. You truly were the matriarch of our family, and your love is woven into all of us. I know you’re at peace now. Give Papa Harry, Aunt Karen, and my dad a hug for me. You will always be a part of me, I love you soooooo much and I will miss you forever and ever. 🤍 YOU ARE THE BEST OF US!!!”
