People Are Absolutely Furious at Kourtney Kardashian After 'KUWTK' Ending Announcement
Emily Puckering
It turns out that in the wake of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians announcement, fans are furious with Kourtney Kardashian... but why, exactly?
Well, keep on reading to find out...
The heartbreaking news reached us this week that Keeping Up With The Kardashians is coming to an end.
Understandably, fans across the globe were left devastated by the announcement... but many have been channeling their frustrations on eldest sister, Kourtney Kardashian.
Now, the Kardashians are undoubtedly a media force.
They've all starred in one of the most successful realities shows of all time and each of the sisters has a massive influence on social media.
The Kardashian-Jenners are more than just influencers, though.
They're truly impressive entrepreneurs and businesswomen. Whatever you think about them, you can't deny that they've done well for themselves.
Especially coming from pretty humble beginnings.
Sure, they've always had an element of wealth and fame - but back when Keeping Up With The Kardashians started, the sisters certainly weren't the biggest Hollywood success story.
They've come a long way...
And more and more, the family are being respected as major players, particularly in the realms of fashion and beauty.
Now, they're one of the most famous families on the planet.
And let's be honest, they have the lavish life to show for it - inviting viewers to watch every scandal, drama, and luxury holiday unfold on screen.
But just like many famous people...
The Kardashians are never far away from controversy.
There are just some things that they can't seem to get right.
The Kardashian clan can't seem to avoid controversy at every turn, and skeptics might even suspect they actually court it.
The sisters have been called out time and time again over the years.
One classic reason? The family seems to have a pretty relaxed stance on the rather serious issue of cultural appropriation.
Oh, and who can forget the allegations of blackfacing?
When you let Kim's cultural appropriation slide for years, and now she feels comfortable in blackface. https://t.co/e38irQRBHW

This particular photoshoot from Kim certainly caused a stir.
But that hasn't been their only issue.
Many like to point at youngest sister, Kylie as a really poor example for young girls to look up to, thanks to her propensity for surgery and money-grabbing ways.
Kylie in particular is known for having absolutely no transparency...
And her dishonesty about the numerous surgical procedures she has undergone to achieve her unrealistic body shape isn't at all a good example for the millions of young girls who follow her every move.
In fact, this is something all the sisters have faced criticism for.
They've all been under fire for their shilling of sketchy diet products... And the fact that they all have so much money that they enjoy flaunting regularly consistently lands them in hot water.
But despite all of the negativity...
The Kardashians continue to be one of the most famous, and the most loved, families in the world.
They've been in our lives (or should we say screens) for quite some time now...
So the announcement that KUWTK was coming to an end came as a huge shock.
Kim was the one to make the announcement.
Posting a retro KUWTK poster, she started by writing: "To our amazing fans - It is with heavy hearts that we've made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. After what will be fourteen years, twenty seasons, hundreds of episodes, and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who've watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children."
She concluded:
"We'll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we've met along the way. Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who've spent countless hours documenting our lives. Our last season will air early next year in 2021."
Love them or hate them...

Fans seem to be fixating their anger onto one person in particular - and that's the eldest sister, Kourtney Kardashian.
Despite Kim claiming that the decision to pull the plug was made by the full family...
Many seem to be thinking that Kourtney is actually the one to blame for the end of the iconic show.
When the North West parody Instagram, Norisblackbook, posted their own statement on the matter...
And they ended the message with "With love, gratitude, and the feeling that this is all Auntie Kourt's fault," fans went OFF.
