We’re living in very frightening times, people.
Due to the threat of nuclear war, terrorism and Donald Trump as President? Yes, but that’s not really applicable in this case.
Instead, we’re referring at the moment to a culture that has embraced Kim Kardashian and her family to such an extent that they make millions and millions of dollars per year.
Many big names have spoken out against the famous family in recent times, including President Barack Obama, but Naomi Watts summed up our feelings very well in a May 2015 interview with Australian InStyle.
“There’s so much focus on celebrity these days; we’re in the Kardashian era and it’s slightly scary,” said the Oscar nominee.
Do you agree? Scroll down for a look at Watts and other celebrities who won’t be sending the Kardashians a Christmas card any time soon…
