Wendy Williams calls out Kim Kardashian for Jack in the Box complaint: 'Who does she think she is?'
Wendy Williams took Kim Kardashian down a few pegs on Tuesday with her scathing criticism of one of her recent tweets. Kardashian cryptically tweeted at fast food chain Jack in the Box:
Hey, Jack In The Box I have a serious complaint but I won’t fully put you on blast, check your corporate email inbox or send me a DM with direct person for my team to contact. Pronto!
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) May 20, 2019
Williams wasn’t thrilled with Kardashian’s apparent demand to be contacted “pronto.” “Who does she think she is?” asked the outspoken talk show host.
She also took issue with Kardashian’s vague complaint. “Don’t string people along. What this sounds like is you’re using your celebrity and your new-found business head for pomposity and bullying,” said Williams.
“There’s not a bone in me that believes she’s complaining because they left cheese off of a burger. It’s not like that,” the host added. “Maybe they saw a worker being mistreated or a worker do something wrong or something wasn’t right in the restaurant so she was pissed. She wanted to do good for the people, that’s what I believe in my mind. But the way she went about it just makes her sound like an a**,” continued Williams.
Viewers on Twitter were firmly on Williams’s side, also wondering why Kardashian felt it was appropriate to address her mysterious issue in public:
How is this tweet not putting them on blast? Pronto? A private email to their corporate communications team would have sufficed.

Unless there was like, a finger in her hamburger, I feel like it can’t be that urgent.

Kardashian later tweeted a clarification to her first post after the Twitter backlash:
I would like to add that this is not about me or a wrong order. Nobody recognized me and it’s something that I observed that affected other customers at this particular location that was concerning.

Though this didn’t do much to quell the negative comments, and left some shocked Kardashian eats fast food:
But really, why go to corporate unless it was the manager doing something? Is that it? If not, why not go to the store manager?
