KOURTNEY Kardashian has been labeled “lavish” after overusing water in her $8 million mansion.
An official report cited that she went DOUBLE her district’s monthly water budget “for four months” despite the Los Angeles drought.
California is facing its worst drought in nearly 1,200 years.
Nearly six million people in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Ventura counties have been asked to adhere to water restrictions.
SoCal was recently called upon to immediately reduce water use by limiting residents to watering outdoor plants once a week — one of several recent conservation strategies.
Though apparently that’s all a sham for Kourtney, 43.
The famous figure was one of the few celebrities singled out in a new CBS report.
They wrote that in Kourtney’s “$8 million Calabasas home,” Las Virgenes Water District water records show the home used 245% of its allotted water budget in May.
“That was the fourth month over budget since strict drought restrictions were introduced in December.”
Fans furious at news that Kourtney is seemingly ignoring conservation measures for her Tuscan-style residence of 11,500 square meters with children, Mason Disick12, Penelope, nine, and Reign, seven.
‘SO BAD!’
A Redditor shared the news: “She should be ashamed and she should be fined heavily.
“Whoever buys her ‘I’m an ecological girl’ shtick needs to wake up.”
Another wrote: “Exactly! It’s fucking disgusting. These people should be ashamed of themselves!”
A third wrote: “Then jump on a private jet to Italy, lmao. No more contact.”
A fourth wrote: “Citizens there have to ration their water consumption to drink, shower and eat.
“This family is abusing substances and it has little to no effect on them.
Another user added: “When a seemingly unavoidable wildfire threatens (again) the region, they can simply pay for private firefighters to protect their homes while others lose theirs.
But at least they drink from reusable water bottles.”
The mansion has a lush, unusually green backyard and pool – one of the months she went over the limit she was even out of town for her Portofino Italy marriage with Travis Barker.
SLACKTIVISM?
Kourtney took to her Instagram Stories in April to share a fact sheet about carbon emissions on our planet.
The reality star posted a “CO2 tracker” explaining how harmful pollution has become on Earth.
The post ended with a call to action, reading: “Time to get our s**t together.”
A follower re-shared the post on Reddit, where several shared their thoughts on the matter even before her water report arrived.
One lamented: “It’s so frustrating to see them posting stuff like this while living a wasteful life, even though they have all the resources to try and be as sustainable as possible.”
Another wrote: “Celebrities piss me off when they try to do eco stuff. Infographics don’t mean anything if you don’t work in them.”
“Wealthy people always try to preach, but they are the ones doing the damage.”
JET THEM EAT CAKE
The TV personality flew to and from Mexico with now-husband Travis — as well as Las Vegas for their “just for fun wedding” — and her entire family uses private jets so casually.
Kourtney’s sister Kylie Jenner, 24, bought her pink private plane in early 2020 for a whopping $72.8 millionand the family all enjoyed their individual time on the plane.
Last month Kylier . took her $72 million private jet for a 15 minute flight.
According to flight tracking websites, Kylie flew from Camarillo to Van Nuys.
That’s a distance of only 45 miles. And a flight time of less than 15 minutes – It’s also a total of 127 gallons of jet fuel used, and a full ton of CO2 emissions.
The outcry came just weeks after Kim went for a… similar flight pattern.
On April 30, the founder of SKIMS was charged with taking her multi-million dollar private jet on a 17-minute flight, covering just 35 miles, while reportedly producing 2 tons of CO2 emissions.
“From Camarillo to Van Nuys is a 40-60 minute drive,” wrote one Redditor. “If she really needed to save that time, a helicopter would have been more than enough.”
While another agreed: “Environmental destruction > 40 minutes drive I think?”
One follower asked how the whole family is not banned for their behavior: “The environmental destruction of the Kardashian family is unfathomable.”
The Kardashians star is now the stepmother to Travis’ teenage children: Alabama and Landon.
