Khloé Kardashian Slammed Over Son Video

Footage of Khloé Kardashian and her son has caused controversy on social media, with the video described as a "f****** joke."

In the clip shared to Instagram on December 17, the reality star got down on her hands and knees to show her 1-year-old Tatum how to wipe the floor.

"Good job papa," Kardashian tells her son before the toddler stumbles to his feet and wanders off.

"We are never too young to start cleaning," the 39-year-old wrote alongside the video. "My little man will know how to do it all."

However, the post divided fans, with user @badcalls dubbing Kardashian a "Lazy [b****]."

"This is such a f****** joke," said @awgallego. "She doesn't cook, clean, do laundry, or watch her kids most of the time thanks to nannies," they claimed.

"What do you know about cleaning??" asked @azconner3. "Maids I'm sure did it all."

"As if you don't have a housekeeper to clean, stop the c***," wrote @thelord183, while @sazzygram said: "House cleaner in the background having a good chuckle."

Others defended the socialite, with @dianneluvterrriers calling Kardashian "a great mom."

"Just because someone has a staff or 'cleaner' doesn't mean they don't also clean," wrote @raeryco.

"She's just sharing something cute with her boy," said @ansyluv. "I'm sure she doesn't wait for someone to just wipe up a spill."

"Why is everyone so nasty at every single thing she does," asked black.diamondd22.

"Khloe normally cleans her house and she's OCD, she definitely knows how to clean," commented @nella_godsent.

Newsweek has reached out to Khloé Kardashian for comment via email.

Alongside Tatum, Kardashian shares 5-year-old True Thompson with her ex, Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson.

The Good American founder isn't the only Kardashian to have her parenting skills questioned on social media. Her sister Kim Kardashian was criticized in October, after sharing a photo of her son Saint West's Halloween costume to Instagram.

The snap showed the 7-year-old—whose father is Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West—dressed as a zombified version of soccer star Neymar, complete with fake blood, phony cuts and scratches, and a pal dressed as a zombified Lionel Messi.

However, fans said the costumes were in "poor taste," comparing the image to injured children in Gaza.

On October 7, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,200 people, according to the Associated Press. Israel subsequently fired airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, followed by a ground offensive on October 26.

As of December 18, at least 18,700 Palestinians have been killed according to the AP, with roughly 85 percent of Gaza's population losing their homes.

Youngest sister Kylie Jenner also came under fire in January after renaming her baby son.

The 26-year-old and ex-boyfriend Travis Scott changed their second child's name from Wolf Webster to Aire, not realizing it had a regrettable meaning in Arabic.

According to the beauty mogul's Middle Eastern fans, Aire is very close to "Ayre"—slang for "my penis" in Arabic.

"God help her if she comes to the Middle East," joked one Instagram follower, while another wrote "all my Lebanese people [are] wheezing right now."
