The Kardashians care way too much about their products to abuse their workers!
As reported by Radar Online, a human rights advocacy group claimed that Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's merchandise was produced under horrible conditions in China. According to the nonprofit, a clothing manufacturer once used to produce the Kardashians' apparel paid its workers only 8 cents per garment.

Star magazine and Radar went so far as to claim that the factory employees manufacturing K-Dash by Kardashian label, the Kris Jenner Kollection and ShoeDazzle, which was cofounded by Kim, worked up to 84 hours a week in non-air-conditioned facilities earning $1 per hour.

Before determining the report was wrong, the family told E! Online they were taking the accusations "very seriously."

Later on Wednesday, the sisters' rep Jill Fritzo confirmed to E! that "the story is not true."
Tell Us What You Think
18they got were they are cuz of there last name.. They will stop at nothing to make money, And they need to be tooken of tv and stop given money!!! Everything about then is fake
What a bunch of disgusting plastic fake people. complete trash. Famous for nothing, only in America!
Yesterday they didn't know about it, today they're slamming the rumour.
Items in the family’s high-end K-Dash by Kardashian are all manufactured in areas of China where government regulations are often ignored and workers are subject to inhumane conditions. Kardashians are shame less family ..... Boycott the kardashians and stop defending them people....
f *** them! they are so fake
hahaha. boycott them,
If I read one more headline blasting the Kardashians I will just boycott these sites all together. I refuse to believe. Anything that Usmagazine posts isn't true! Don't people know that. Usmagazine can't even edit. They're just has bad as Star, Life and Style etc. the only entertainment magazine that is reputable is People Magazine.
ok first this fam never does charity work.and 2nd we all know kim has proven time and time again theres nothing she wont do for a buck from porn to making a mockery out of marriage.her price 16 million dollar fake wedding.now princess kate and prince william,so beautiful and she has such grace and class.how nice they attended the charity ball for the homeless.
It makes me laugh out loud that you lemmings think they really give the sweatshops in China a thought at all. Have any of you seen the crap at Sears under their name? Shoddy workmanship, bad construction - high price tag...when you are really looking to make a profit, one might think the obvious doesn't occur to you. Oh and by the way, just because they say it isn't true - doesn't make it so. Ladies - this is the Kardashians and Kris Jenner's signature move is making a buck. We will never know the truth but you ladies who believe they are pure of heart...that just cracks me up.
thir all so very fake and shallow...just like kim and mom kris to haiti,please,they've never done any charity work prior to kim's bad publicity.hmmmm they're very money motivated,so do i believe a sweatshop could be true...well look at the fam,especially kim,there isn't much she wont sell.whole fam like that...shallow and fake
they love to exploit people...their mom does it to them...sot hey do it to others
So what! They're use to spending money. That's their life. ...........Not a HUGE fan, but I know how they operated, they're sweet!
I would NEVER buy anything they make anyhow. They are probably sitting at home counting their money, when some poor schlub is working 16 hour days in China with probably 1 bathroom break, making about $.10 cents an hour, so these A**holes can live the high life in their $20 Million dollar mansions and their fancy schmancy little bubble. I think ALL Of the Kardashians are a bunch of A** holes, and I wouldn't own anything they design or make if someone gave it to me for free. I would simply throw it where it belongs, IN THE RUBBISH BIN ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE TRASH. AND SHAME ON ANYONE FOR BUYING ANYTHING OF THEIRS AFTER READING THIS STORY, because OF COURSE THE KARDASHIANS ARE GONNA DENY ANY KNOWLEDGE OF IT- GOD FORBID THEIR IMPECABLE REPUTATION BE TARNISHED (SARCASM).
hooka's working FULL TIME right now..........make that $$$
This is soooooo awkward, I thought Kim Kardashian was a good person who would ful-fill her promise.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ B O Y C O T T everything and anything KARDASHIAN. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Mindless low life KARDASHIANS have mastered the art of "stupidity". The mass of STUPIDS follow the KARDASHIANS for what purpose?...oh yes, to create of flood of CASH for undeserving KARDASHIANS and to be LAUGHED AT by them for their stupid following. ------------------------------------------------------------ If you are young enough to "find your voice and have control over your spending" B O Y C O T T everything and anything KARDASHIAN. B O Y C O T T SEARS, OPI nail polish,RYAN SEACREST productions etc. ------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let KARDASHIANS make multi millions off SLAVE LABOR! If KARDASHIANS think it's OK to have children make their SH*T clothing, bags, shoes etc. then maybe MASON (Kourtney's son) should be the next hired hand? ------------------------------------------------------------ KENDAL AND KYLIE should also be hired hands?...if they know their right hand from their left hand.
I'm no fan of the Kardashians by any means...but the guy who is making these claims told TMZ earlier today that he's never been to the factory and is ASSUMING it's a sweatshop...he should have proof before kicking out serious accusations like he has.
That sucks that an organization which has tons of REAL businesses to charge with slave labor and low wages decides to get press by falsely accusing a business. Something tells me it might be because the name would get someone to read it. Pathetic. The organization should lose their nonprofit status since that was clearly just a publicity stunt.
