Kim Kardashian’s new mobile game, Kim Kardashian Hollywood, has been getting some coverage due to its ‘so bad, it’s good‘ style of gameplay, but one disgruntled mother is not seeing the funny side of the game.
Ayelet Waldman is the mother of Abe, who apparently spent $120 on in-game items by accident, so Ayelet (an author of the book Bad Mother) took her rant to Twitter.
Check out some of the tweets that followed.
Abe, age 11: Sobbing. “I hate those goddamn Kardashians.” Also? “I thought I was smarter than this.”

Evil, vile Kardashian Hollywood tricked my 11 yr old into spending $120 in 2 days. He’s crying hysterically. Pox on those fuckers. — Ayelet Waldman (@ayeletw) August 4, 2014
Why does Kim Kardashian’s Hollywood game make $700K a day? BC it preys on children who don’t know better. https://t.co/o6YpSqIyCf

My husband is incredibly sophisticated on Macs. Was sure he’d blocked in-app purchases. Just by chance we noticed our son’s account.

We are removing all credit card information for our children’s itunes accounts, and I highly recommend you do the same.

We’d set up what we thought were restricted allowances, but bc there was a card attached, I’m now funding Kim Kardashian’s lip gloss.
