Kim Kardashian slammed for ‘icky’ and ‘gross’ parenting decision for daughter North West, 9, in new post
KIM Kardashian fans have slammed the famous mom for her seeming lack of parenting for her nine-year-old daughter North West in a new post.
In an Instagram Story, Kim, 42, promoted her preteen daughter as an influencer.
Recently, named North one of the most influential creators on its Top 20 list.
The publication stated: "While she shares the account with her uber-famous mom, North’s innate star power screams through her haphazardly edited videos — suggesting that the ability to influence might just be genetic."
The Kardashians star shared an image of her daughter from the listicle and captioned the post: "Thank you, Rolling Stone, for picking North."
In , critics ranted how the Hulu star is pushing her young child to "grow up fast" and become "mature for adults."
THE BACKLASH
One person said: "This is icky. North is just nine years old.
"Is anyone actually watching her on social media besides adults?"
Another critic agreed and added: "So gross."
A third mentioned: "It's profit over children. Kim, let your girl be a child!"

A fourth person chimed in: "Is North really an influential creator? I’m sure she will be when she is older, but what is she creating besides dancing TikToks with Kim?"
This is not the first time the reality star ruffled fan feathers over her preteen.
THE FOUR TRADEMARKS
In March, The U.S. Sun revealed that the Skims founder filed four new trademarks in her daughter's name.
The first trademark filed is for North's beauty line and her "non-medicated skin preparations, skin moisturizers, skin lotions, skin creams, skin cleansers."
The second trademark is for North to build her own toy business empire, with "toy figures, doll accessories, dolls, drawing toys, infant toys, mechanical action toys, play sets for action figures, soft sculpture toys, bath toys," and more.
The third trademark promised advertising services, and the last one included: "entertainment in the nature of providing information in means of a global computer network in the fields of entertainment and pop culture."
Critics slammed the former E! star for attempting to make North a mini-version of herself.
One critic judged: "Poor North. At nine, she should have the freedom to want to grow up to be an artist, a singer, an astronaut, a firewoman, an actress, anything."
Another critic raged: "Honestly sickening - just let her do what she wants she's a human being with her own life."
THE BIG APPLE
Recently, the TV personality brought her daughter and sister Kourtney Kardashian's daughter, Penelope Disick, 10, on her trip to New York.
