Kourtney Kardashian has sparked anger after sharing a snap of a birthday cake on social media on election day that appears to reference a controversial quote by former Queen of France, Marie Antoinette. The reality TV star is the latest of the Kardashian clan to come under fire after she gave Simon Huck, 41, who co-founded her wellness brand Lemme, a cake bearing the words, "Lemme Eat Cake". The words on the cake appear to reference to the Queen's “Let them eat cake" remarks in the 18th Century - in response to being told that peasants were starving due to a lack of bread.

Fans found the message to be tone deaf due to anxiety felt by Americans on election day and because many of the population are struggling to afford basic necessities because of the cost of living crisis and high inflation. Reddit users labelled Kourtney's comments "out of touch", and accused her of poor timing.
One fumed: "Wow. Just a big f**k you to the rest of us. Can’t wait to see them fall.
" Another raged: "Oh the reference is definitely intentional. Beyond tasteless and gross. Fits them all perfectly.
" A third furios fan said: "Glad to know no matter how the election goes this family will still be grossly protected by their disgusting amount of wealth while the rest of us scramble to vote to save our livelihoods." "I low key hate these people," a fourth added. The cake post was made on as the the Kardashian's celebrated the birthday of their momanger Kris Jenner, which also takes place today.
