Is Kim Kardashian’s IMDB page an unfair hatchet job?

Should IMDB pages have "some semblance of neutrality"?

In just five short years, Kim Kardashian has gone from being a relative unknown to an E! Entertainment Television star with her own clothing store and perfume line.

But according to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), she’s also “emblematic of the shallowness of American culture.”

And that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Kardashian’s rather unflattering profile highlights her X-rated past after a four-year-old sex-tape with then-boyfriend Ray J was leaked on the Internet. The author of her profile, Jon Hopwood, also calls the 31-year-old a “faux celebrity” who possesses “photogenic good looks but is short of any other discernible talents outside of the bedroom.”

The profile reached the top of Reddit’s r/entertainment group where more than 50 people argued whether Hopwood’s description was fair.

“I guess I’m going to be downvoted to Hades for saying that this is biased and unprofessional?” sje46 commented. “I don’t like the woman, but I think imdb bios should have some semblance of neutrality.”

“What else is she known for? That encompasses everything I know about her,” responded xsideick409.

Despite the criticism, Kardashian can at least claim that she’s one of the most popular personalities on Twitter where she has more than 14 million followers. And her IMDb page isn’t all negative.

Her trade mark is listed as “her curvaceous figure.”
