I don't see how being seen to give (in relative terms) pocket change does anything to forestall those criticisms. We all know the Kardashians are entirely about self-promotion and this is just another aspect of that for them and no doubt nicely tax-deductible.

It's hard for me to get annoyed at someone doing a good thing, even if I generally dislike them.

I also have to wonder how many of the people criticising them for doing this as a publicity stunt have themselves done anything similar out of nobler motives.

Heaven forbid I get called cynical, but "chef-prepared" meals says to me that they were planning a party and it got called off at the last minute.
Perhaps they never cook ![]()

"We're told the menu had it all -- white truffle mac and cheese, sweet potato soufflé, turkey, ham, braised short ribs, and mashed potatoes. For dessert -- pies and cookies." according to TMZ.

They must have found a way of claiming it back on their tax returns.
I doubt they ever do anything that doesn't benefit themselves primarily and most significantly.

Neither do a lot of people. That's exactly why there are tax breaks on charitable giving the first place.
Doubt anyone in the Kartrashian mob would even have heard of it though. |

Can't believe I'm standing up for them here, but most major supermarket chains would rather throw away unused food than give it to the homeless, but some (admittedly horrendous, but easily avoided) reality TV people are the bad guys for NOT doing that?

And either get shouted down as liars or defeat the whole point of quietly getting on doing something for the right reasons.
So much bitter hostility on here. Really sad. |

Perhaps they shouldn't have catered for such ridiculous numbers of people who clearly did not need or want so much food and they could instead have donated the money to help even more people and not give it away simply to get rid of the leftovers that their over-privileged guests did not wish to eat.

Lying, probably yes. As I can't believe that anyone with a generous and kind heart would spend so much time resentfully sniping at others for doing something decent.

Donald Trump once donated a meal to a homeless guy.
He sent him the bill a few days later. |

A very nasty vibe if I'm honest.

It always amazes me that TGBP always assume, based on absolutely sweet FA and no knowledge whatsoever, that the rich and famous don't contribute large amounts to charity and appear to bitterly resent all the famous people who appear on CIN, Red Nose, Sport Relief etc etc and trot out the same old "if he/she cares so much why don't they give some of their own millions to charity?" What makes them think they don't?
If nothing else, let's hope the knowledge we now have of George Michael's charitable work and donations at least gives them pause for thought. |

After Paul Walker died it came out that he and his wife had done MASSES of work to help others, but just kept quiet about it. I mean, think about it. Ask anyone- just normal plebs like you or I- what they'd do with a huge lottery win. I'd say *most* people would include a sizeable donation to a charity or cause they believe in in their answer. Why wouldn't celebrities be the same? |

True. But i wouldn't be surprised if they did this for publicity purposes only.
Sure, nice to give out hundreds of meals but that is really a very very small amount compared to their income. People with much less money do the same frequently. And quietly. Supporting charities or having your name connected to them, doesn't mean you are doing the leg work. It can mean getting lots of perks (invitations to big dinners and galas). |

As their game was called off due to fog, Brighton and Hove Albion have donated all the food that would have been sold to the homeless.
Smug bastards. Shooting is too good for them. |
