Rolling Stone Slams Kardashian family -Calls Them Petty,Oblivious & Monstrous!-"The Egos That Ate America"

At the start of the essay, posted by Rolling Stone on Wednesday, Sept. 10, Sheffield marvels at the fact that the Kardashian-Jenner clan has been on the air for seven years, noting that most other reality TV sensations turned out to be just flashes in the proverbial pan.

"The Kardashians are the last ladies standing in reality TV because they've simply always believed they were celebrities — endlessly amused with themselves, endlessly oblivious to one another," he writes. "Their vanity is impervious to the outside world...Their gargantuan egos, their petty jealousies, their catty feuds, the effort-vs.-eye-roll they put into reciting their lines, their commitment to frivolity at all costs , these are seductive qualities in a reality TV star, however repugnant they might be in real life."

The essay goes on to mock some of the family's recent dramas  for example, Kourtney's third pregnancy, Khloe's split from Lamar Odom, and Kim's relationship with Kanye West. "They do not learn, grow, mature, suffer, any of that HBO Sunday-night business," Sheffield writes. "They do, however, take pole-dancing classes. And get mad when Mom crashes the pole-dancing classes." (That was, in fact, a real storyline on KUWTK's most recent season.)

It doesn't stop there. Sheffield continues to slam the Kardashian klan for their actions both on- and off-screen.

"You might loathe the Kardashians, and that's more than understandable," he concludes. "But there are hardly any ex-fans of the Kardashians, because all they ever promised is what they keep delivering: a journey into the American ego at its most luridly monstrous, with lots of shopping."
