Kim Kardashian’s return to social media a week ago has been met with mixed reactions from fans: some are just happy to have Kim back in their Instagram feeds, but others have criticised the reality star for trying to “look poor” in her posts.
Kim’s return has been dominated by Polaroid-style images, and look more like throwback family photos from the 70s than the glamorous, jewellery-filled posts we’re used to seeing.
“Stop trying to look poor for the aesthetic,” wrote one fan on a photo of Kanye West sitting on an old green couch with his one-year-old son, Saint.
“Enjoying the middle class life?” wrote another.
Many wondered whose house the famous couple were ‘borrowing’ to “play poor” in the images, since it was clear the images weren’t taken in their multi-million dollar mansion.
The home is sparsely furnished, and Kanye and his famous family have been staying there on-and-off during the holiday period.
It turns out, hiding out in a fellow celebrity’s home to escape the public eye and paparazzi in times of stress is nothing new for famous faces.
Glee star Lea Michele revealed that Kate Hudson offered her a place to stay in the days after her boyfriend Cory Monteith died from an overdose in 2013.
“I called her and said, I don’t know where I’m going to go because my house is swarmed [with reporters],” the star told Elle magazine.
“She was like, “Oh, you’re going to stay at my house.” Like it was nothing.”
Here’s hoping Kim and Kanye are getting the rest, relaxation and privacy they need after what was a pretty traumatic 2016.

They will never "look poor" or even attempt to "look poor". Basically these people are saying that there is a standard look for homes that poor people and the middle class live in. If you're coming up with theories that they're attempting to portray poor from taking photos that feature a tiny fragment of a house, you have too much time on your hands. Not to mention, the large slab of marble in the kitchen shows that this has to be the home of someone considerably wealthily.
Geez well considering you took the time to review the house's material and come up with a theory about who owns the house, I guess - to use your phrase - you have too much time on your hands.
