Kylie Jenner Had The Audacity To Ask People To Donate Money On GoFundMe For Her Former Makeup Artist, So Here’re 30 Of The Best Reactions
The 23-year-old entrepreneur with an estimated net worth of $900 million caused a stir on social media after seeking donations for makeup artist Samuel Rauda’s medical bills. Rauda got into a car accident last weekend, and Kylie Jenner took it to her Instagram to request that her fans contribute to Rauda’s GoFundMe account.
Meanwhile, an account under Jenner's name on GoFundMe shows a donation of $5,000. But Kylie’s fans were less than impressed. Critics decried Forbes' highest-paid celebrity of 2020, claiming that with all that net worth, it would have been only fair if Kylie covered Rauda’s expenses herself.
Later, the star addressed the backlash, explaining that Rauda was not her current MUA but “After learning in more detail about the accident it compelled [her] to visit his GoFundMe which was set at [$10,000]." Since they'd already raised 6k, she felt like adding another 5k to reach the initial goal, Kylie stated.
However, the outcry on social media was already up and rolling, so let’s see what precisely people didn’t like about this whole situation in their reactions below.

Kylie Jenner has an estimated net worth of $900 million, but this weekend encouraged her fans to donate to a GoFundMe account for makeup artist Samuel Rauda’s medical expenses.
People on social media immediately went into a frenzy escalated by the fact that Kylie herself added a “moderate” $5,000 to the initial $10,000 plea. After the story went viral, donations for Samuel’s GoFundMe rocketed up to $100,031 of its new $120,000 goal.
But critics felt that Kylie donating a mere sum of her billion-dollar fortune and asking her fans to add to the cause was just too much. They claimed that in turn, she could have easily paid the whole amount herself if she really cared about the cause as much as she claimed.
Maybe she should be the one to get brain surgery, anyone wanna start a GoFundMe
Shes a monumenta c**nt .Celebrities are a bane on society and are not worth following .A boycott would be good.
Take my 23 cents dude! You need my generosity in this dark time and I'm here for you.
My public-healthcare-country self isn’t defending her; I’m pointing out that you lot fall for and repeat lies about our systems ad nauseum and then come to me expecting me to validate your outrage about a celebrity this makeup artist used to work with. It’d be good if I’ve Forgotten Her Name Already Jenner would pay for all of it, but what about the brain surgery patients who DON’T know a billionaire? What are they supposed to do?
Better question is how much work hours has it cost her? Say she got that "from nothing" in 6years that's $150M/Y or $3M/week = $3000K/40h = $75K/h ---- DONATING $5K IS 4MIN WORK TIME'S WORTH!?! Literally going over there, donating, and posting a request for money (10min? so $12.5K?) costs her more than the 5+5K in the fund after her donation. Please double-check my numbers (and no I cannot be bothered to look up if 6y is fair)
Ah other post suggests $450K/day = $56K/hour "only"

Hold on to that money, honey., live the lavish lifestyle, raise your daughter without proper values, because we all secretly know, you CAN take it with you when you die!
Poorer people give a greater percentage of their income to charities than wealthier people.
I love people who are doing the maths. People can't argue with logic.
Don't forget though that people will donate because that's the sheeple effect of our country.
Yeah but she donated like $2 out of her net... very generous... especially when her makeup artist needs brain surgery... maybe Kylie needs it to...
Load More Replies...On Monday, Kylie took to her Instagram to address the backlash. "I saw my current makeup artist and friend Ariel post about Sam's accident and his family's GoFundMe... it compelled me to visit his GoFundMe which was set at 10K."
The 23-year-old entrepreneur also wrote that she "thought I'd post on my stories to gain more awareness if anyone also felt compelled to share or donate. I don't know how all of this got so twisted but his family has reached out through Ariel and are very appreciative..."
But for many, Kylie’s attempt to defend herself in the controversy felt like it was too late. Charlotte Clymer, director of communications and strategy at Catholics for Choice, tweeted in response that "Folks are defending Kylie Jenner by pointing out she donated $5,000 to her makeup artist's medical GoFundMe. Her net worth is $900M. So, that's 0.000006% of her net worth. If your net worth were, say, $100k, it would be like donating 56 cents." The tweet amassed 38.3k likes and went viral.
It’s just fair that Kylie’s controversy sparked a bigger debate on wealth’s effect on compassion. Is it true that as riches grow, empathy for others seems to decline? Are less affluent individuals more likely to feel compassion towards other human beings?
To find out, Bored Panda reached out to Jennifer Stellar, an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto and the director of the Health, Emotions, and Altruism Lab (HEAL). In 2011, she led a study that hooked participants up to heart rate monitors to measure physical reactions to an advertisement for St. Jude’s hospital of families coping with a cancer-stricken child.
Incredibly, the bodies of the lower class volunteers had a more compassionate response to the video, which she measured by heart rate deceleration. Jennifer told us that the results revealed that “lower social class is associated with greater compassion.”
“Other authors such as Dr. Piff have found a similar relationship with prosociality and I believe Dr. Kraus has found a similar relationship with empathy,” she said.
"Controversy"?! This is about as one-sided as a battle between a tiger and a peacock.
Social class is based on income, education, and occupation and varies from one person to another. However, Jennifer added that when it comes to “social status which is based more in respect and admiration from others, it's not clear to me that social status would have the same relationship to compassion, prosociality, and empathy as a social class has.”
Or Kylie and her friends could pay a living wage for him so he could pay his own bills.
OK I have got to ask this but who the heck is this "person" Kylie Jenner
You see if you do not raise enough money YOU will put on my makeup. For no pay, kay?
News insight of the week, truly. Just when I thought they were humanitarians.

You know, the problem is not with Kilie Jenner or any other douche millionaire / billionaire. The problem is with the society that makes them famous. STOP MAKING STUPID and GREEDY PEOPLE FAMOUS! There are hundreds of examples world-wide.
It's not like they even deserve the fame, either. Each and every one of them is a talentless hack.

These ultra rich people that start any GoFundMe is crazy, but what is even crazier is the fans that donate to them! These celebrities are probably sitting back laughing like "look at these morons, they buy all our merch, they know how rich we are, and STILL donate"
She didn’t start the gofundme though. He did. And she gave him the entire remainder of his $11,000 goal. He changed his goal after he got her money.

Okay can we talk about the fact a go fund me is required at all. This is what is truly awful.
I viscerally hate this kind of people. They care only about themselves. It's insulting to see that 'donation'. God, if I had so much money, I'd use it for things people can benefit from. I'm not just saying: we, 'the poor', in comparison to these botched up dolls, know what life is like and have the sense and conscience to help eachother. And, helping is natural and making others happy, makes us happy, it gives life a meaning... This billionaire family are just the lowest of the lowest and anyone who buys their products, is complicit. I hope that makeup artist gets better and tells K-whatever, to bugger off. Good on everyone to call her out on her rubbish!
Remember when she was approaching 1billion dollars and her fans started a gofundme so she can reach that figure? I remember and it was utterly ridiculous to see her lower/middle class fans donate to someone who has over 900million dollars just so she can become a billionaire. That's messed up.
Are you serious? Madness. That's perfect brainwashing

Disgusting. Please people, STOP following these tipe of people. STOP liking their posts. STOP buying their s**t. STOP giving them money. They give a f**k only about themselves and and have nothing useful to teach you. They only see their followers as stupid chickens to fleck. You can do better with your time and your money. Please STOP.
I read an article, where she tried to defend her actions by saying that he wasn't her personal makeup artist and they no longer worked together, and she was just trying to help and raise awareness.
He isn’t, he only worked with her a few years ago like once. He’s a stylist to many other stars who refused to help at all. Kylie gave him enough money to meet his goal of $11,000. The stylist changed the goal once he met it because he kept receiving donations.

It still baffles me how people sell literally hot air so expensive and other people just buy it! They are very clever and cunning con-artists if you ask me
What am I missing here? The problem is that someone, anyone, in the United States has to resort to a GoFundMe to get needed medical care.
What shocks me the most is that she has fans. Why? What are they fans of? What does she do? I mean, she exists but that's it. What DOES she do?
Is it Kylie Jenner's fault that she is utter scumbag, or is it American people's fault for consistently voting for political parties that don't believe in providing medical care for all their citizens or have the guts to fairly tax the 1 percent of society who can afford it? It's a tricky one... They always say in a democracy, you get the outcomes you deserve.
So, who the heck is Kylie Jenner? Which book did she or he write? What are his or her best song? Did she or he paint a famous portrait? Did she or he or whatever the hell that creature’s gender is design something? Contributed something to science, art, politics? Does it even rap? No? Then why the hell is anyone paying attention to that stupid creature?
Despite all this, tomorrow BF and BP will be doing stories about how great she is, and commenters will be gushing about how much they love her. Isn't it long past time we cancel these vapid, talentless morons? Exactly what the f**k are they contributing to the culture or public discourse that's worth billions of dollars? Exactly nothing.
I think, I am saddened that she and her sisters were raised in the lap of luxury, and without any moral compass, ethics, compassion, empathy, or any trait of value, as a human being. Worse, their children will be raised and are being raised in that same way. Another generation who will never amount to anything of value. My only hope is that one of the kids, turns out to be different, leaves the herd, and makes their own way in the world, and does wonderful things!
The Kardashians and Jenners (and all they sycophants that service their massive egos) are a bunch of total oxygen wasting c**k heads. Every one of them should be pushed into crocodile infested water and their vast wealth donated to charity.
you see now we know that *turns caps lock on* KYLIE JENNER MUST BURN IN H3LL FOREVER
I hate kylie jenner. Is it real that theyr fans made a gofoundme to make her the youngest millionaire?
I really want her to be humbled. LIke hard. Really learn a lesson about humility in a deep impact kind of way with true struggle
This is stupid. Imagine how heartless someone has to be to brag about buying their toddler a $15K bag and then ask fans for money to fund a SURGERY. Even stupider: imagine what that money could do... imagine how much she could help by donating literally 0.01% of her fortune to an homeless shelter, or perhaps even give a shout-out to saving animals like the vaquita. Just wow. I’m really disappointed in our society. Especially ones that are fans of people like Kylie Jenner... because they still think she’s “pretty” There’s nothing pretty about a spoiled brat that can’t take one minute to fund a surgery for her FRIEND and has the nerve to ask people for money in the middle of a pandemic. While being a billionaire.
This is beyond inhuman. I am so far below the poverty line, I can barely see daylight. And yet I still find a way to donate a little bit to some of my favorite farm sanctuaries every month. I can't even begin to imagine the kind of good I could do in the world if I had Kardashian level wealth, and this spoiled brat can't even help out her own friend!? When I daydream about winning the lottery, helping friends I know are struggling is the FIRST thing I think of when I start mentally spending my winnings. But having this kind of mindset is probably why I'm (comfortably) living in poverty in the first place. The accumulation of wealth isn't one of my top priorities in life.
This chick and all the Kartrashians are disgusting!!! I love her little back peddle though. And even IF he doesn't work for her she thinks "he's just the sweetest" then f*****g help him good Lord, it literally is a drop in the bucket for you. Disgusting.
Ugh, people! I would be the first to admit that I don't give a damn about the Kardashians or Kylie Jenner, but this article is pure clickbait. Actually, let's call it what it really is: Outrage Bait. The injured man is not Kylie Jenner's current makeup artist, in fact she hasn't worked with the guy for years. She heard that he'd been injured and had launched a gofundme page asking for $10k. They'd already collected $6000, so Ms Jenner added $5k to put it over the top. She didn't have to do that - the man doesn't even work for her anymore. The mistake she made was in telling others about the man's plight and asking them to donate so some people (and publications) took this as a signal to vent their rage. "She should pay all his medical bills! She can afford it!" True, but she was under no obligation to do so. BTW - the gofundme in question has already raised more than $100 000. So I ask: would that have happened if Ms Jenner hadn't asked her massive fanbase to help?
I read somewhere (at time of article) the goal was 60k. They doubled it once donations reached 60k. Is it legit so expensive or im just genuinely curious at what point is line drawn between raising $ for legit expenses of a goal &...exploitation? Im sure his case is really serious & deserves every cent but this just a more general question
Just a publicity stunt. Kylie "I'm going to set up a GoFundMe page so people see I'm s good person" Anyone else with her net worth "here is $15000, $10000 for your operation and $5000 to go towards your recovery" A better publicity statement that would potentially get a positive result.
Let’s be real - she wanted to look good so people would see she’s donated $5000 she could have paid for it all since it’s peanuts to her & not told a soul then I’d be like cool she did a good deed & didn’t seek a pat on the back for it.
Love her of hate her the fact is that her career. If you can call it that. Is dying. She has the talent and depth and intellegence of a teaspoon. And guess what else. She is totally average looking. Besides her plastic tits and ass she is totally forgettabke with out the makeup and filters. Her time will come to an end and those people do not know how to live realistically and she will be working at target by the time she is 35. Let the rich eat themselves.
So we got another insight into the mindset of a rich influenza and it's not surprising nor beautiful or compassionate. But it won't stop idiots of following and admiring her and handing over their money to her. Don't be upset with the influenza, be furious at the morons who follow and admire these toxic people.
The pepsi to solve racism girl is the center of poor optics again. Shocked.
We need to get rid of these people. The only person who should be a billionaire is keanu❤️
Didn't she get all her money by sponging off fans in the first place?
I do not like this family or this woman. But a small fact which was emitted is that he had only worked with her twice, a few years ago. Still, she could have easily funded him herself if it mean so much to her.
She could have done it in secret with her money if she really cared. Not knowing him isn't an issue, when you donate you don't personally know to which people your money will go.You do it because you think is fair. She wanted to spend the less amount of money to be seen as a "good person who cares for others". Just publicity for her.

She just wanted to be seen as a "good person that care for other" spending the less amount of money possible. She didn't know him, well, when someone donate usually don't know to who the money go. You donate because you believe it's for a good cause, the best that you can. She could have donate the full sum (that for her is like nothing), but instead she prefered to make it public so people could see that she has done something good. Do you think that this is a correct behaviour?
