KIM Kardashian shared videos of herself going for a midnight swim during her lavish 40th birthday party on a private island.
The KUWTK star screamed as she splashed in the ocean with her pals in a series of clips – which she posted despite being slammed for the “tone-deaf” trip.
Kim has faced a slew of backlash for documenting her “disgusting display of wealth” on the island while the world is battling a pandemic.
But the mother-of-four cast the controversy aside as she shared videos of herself, sister Kourtney and two other pals going for a dip.
She threw her arms in the air and told the camera: “Alright guys, we’re going to go in the ocean! Middle of the night.”
Kim instructed her sister, “Kourtney, hold my hand!” as they waded in.
The swim didn’t last long however, as one of Kim’s friends started screaming that there was a “shark in the water” – prompting the group to run out.
“I swear to God!” the woman could be heard saying off-camera, as she dashed away.
In the next video, Kim pouted at the camera as she dried her long hair with a towel.
The KKW Beauty mogul sparked backlash after boasting about how “privileged” she is in a series of family photos from a private island.
She announced: “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.
“We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more.”
Fans were outraged by Kim’s “out of touch” post as many are still out of work or fighting for their lives due to the global pandemic.
One critic tweeted: “I don’t mind that they went on this trip but the audacity to post it for all to see is so out of touch with reality.
“The rich really don’t have sympathy for the poor and don’t have the common sense to see how shoving it in people’s faces is bad.”
Another raged: ”This conspicuous display of wealth is f**king disgusting, especially when so many are suffering. She can do these things because others live with so little. Redistribute her wealth now.”
TV presenter Piers Morgan also slammed Kim, calling her a “tone-deaf imbecile” following her luxury trip.
He reignited their feud by commenting on her holiday photos: “This thread is so repulsive it makes me want to vomit.
“Not that we needed confirmation but what a spoiled, tone-deaf imbecile.”
