Another day, another scandal for the Kim Kardashian and her family. Star magazine is reporting that the Kardashian clan is using “slave labor” in China to produce their many products that they endorse.
ShoeDazzle, the monthly membership site that Kim co-founded is one of the companies that is being scrutinized as well as K-Dash by Kardashian and the Kris Jenner Kollection.
According to Star’s investigation, workers earn just under $1 an hour as they make the products that have helped make the Kardashian’s millions in the Guangdong region of China which is described as “like minimum-security prisons.”
According to Charles Kernaghan, the executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, “You can’t listen to music; you can’t stand up and stretch. You can’t even put your head up and look around, or you will be screamed at. If you get permission to use the toilet, you get four minutes. If you’re highly specialized, you cannot even go to the bathroom.”
Kris Jenner has responded to these allegations saying, “As far as I know the factories that are used to manufacture the Kardashian clothing and shoes have nothing terrible going on at all and the factories are very well policed and meet factory standards.”
