We could put any of the Kardashian family on this list (and who knows? We might include all of them!), and they'd all be here for the same reason. People don't like them because they're spoiled, rich, famous for nothing but reality television, and seemingly absorbed with their own looks. The public's general opinion of the Kardashians is that they're vacuous, and represent the world of the media's infatuation with celebrity culture. It's difficult to argue against that stance in the case of most of them.
Khloe Kardashian is a little different to her sisters, though. For a start, she's thought to be a little more modest because of her strong Christian convictions; she provides spiritual readings for her friends on a daily basis. She's also spent much of her time away from the cameras campaigning to raise awareness of the Armenian genocide; a massacre which took place in her ancestral homeland during the days of the Ottoman Empire.
