13 Times Celebs Tried To Be Like Us, But Were Actually Super Out Of Touch
Recently, Kylie and Kris Jenner went grocery shopping because they wanted to do "normal" things. This obviously led to backlash, considering people are struggling to even afford groceries.
One user wrote, "Kylie and Kris calling going to the grocery store and checking out and filling their cart an experience is the most white rich privileged thing I’ve seen." It definitely didn't land well, given the state of the economy and how people are struggling just to afford groceries.
This led me to find other times celebs tried to do normal stuff, but ultimately fell flat and came across out-of-touch. Here are 12 other examples:
1.Besides grocery shopping, when Kylie and Kris treated a car wash like it was an actual amusement park ride:

4.When Kathy Hilton tried to sweep up a mess she made during Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (Season 11, Episode 10) — and used a grill cleaner!
After her sister Kyle kept spilling glass containers of spices, Kathy offered to help clean. She literally thought this grill cleaner was a BROOM. YUP.
5.When Gwyneth Paltrow participated in a $29 food stamps weekly budget challenge:
This is what $29 gets you at the grocery store—what families on SNAP (i.e. food stamps) have to live on for a week.
6.When Nene Leakes rode the subway on Real Housewives of Atlanta (Season 5, Episode 6) — but wore six-inch Louboutin heels!

They had a full-blown glamorous camper with hundreds of dollars worth of groceries for one night and a luxurious charcuterie board.
10.When E|len and Oprah went grocery shopping and brought "to-go bags" — aka Louis Vuitton bags that are like $5,000:
11.When Erika Girardi deposited a check at the bank for the first time at 50. "I learned how to go into a bank in March. I didn't know how to deposit; I never had a debit."
Erika said her husband Tom was in charge of all her finances, and that she handed over every paycheck to her husband.
12.And lastly, when Justin Bieber wanted to do a date night with Selena Gomez — so he rented out Staples Center:
