Kim Kardashian’s pal La La Anthony shrugs off backlash from the star’s lavish 40th birthday trip: ‘People are gonna have something to say about everything’
La La Anthony shrugged off the social media backlash that ensued after Kim Kardashian’s lavish 40th birthday celebrations.
The reality TV maven flew a group of friends including La La out to a private island in Tahiti for an extravagant six-day trip that was criticized on Twitter for being insensitive amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the economic fallout of the lockdowns.
‘I don’t really think too much about it. I just know we live in a world where people are gonna have something to say about everything,’ La La told Entertainment Tonight.

‘There’s something that’s gonna be said about everything. You wear a black top, you shoulda wore a red one. You wore a blue top, why didn’t you wear the black one?’ she added.
La La, who is the estranged wife of NBA star Carmelo Anthony, said: ‘It’s just the world we live in and I don’t really get too caught up in that.’
She added: ‘I know what we’re all doing individually when it comes to charities, when it comes to using our platforms, when it comes to voting, when it comes to prison reform, when it come to the millions of things that we’re doing.’
The bombshell stated: ‘We try to just help the world in general, and that’s what matters to me. It’s not just about going on an island and taking a beautiful picture. I mean, there’s a lot more to what all of us do in our day-to-day lives than that. That’s what matters. I’d rather amplify that side of what we’re doing.’

All four of Kim’s full siblings were on the trip – her sisters Kourtney and Khloe and brother Rob – as well as her younger half-sister Kendall.
Their mother Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the reality TV clan, was in attendance with her much younger boyfriend Corey Gamble.
Scott Disick and Tristan Thompson, who are respectively the fathers of Kourtney and Khloe’s children, were seen on the trip as well.

Friends including La La, Tracy Romulus and Chris Appleton could also be spotted enjoying Kim’s company for her big milestone.
‘After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time,’ Kim wrote on Instagram.
However Kendall’s younger sister Kylie was noticeably not glimpsed in the social media posts that have surfaced from the getaway.

Neither was Kim’s husband Kanye West – although Page Six reports that in the vacation’s final two days he did make an appearance.
Kanye is currently running for President Of The United States and revealed this week that he has cast his first-ever vote, naturally giving it to himself.
Meanwhile on Election Day La La encouraged her Instagram followers to vote by posting a video of former U.S. President Barack Obama whose vice president Joe Biden is running for the top job this year against incumbent Donald Trump.
