Anger over 'wasteful, entitled' Hollywood stars including Kim Kardashian who broke water-saving rules to tend to their huge gardens - before fire hydrants ran dry as inferno struck LA

Fury against ‘wasteful, entitled’ celebrities grew last night as stars including Kim Kardashian, were accused of squandering vital water resources that could have been used to save homes.

Strict water-conserving measures have been in place since 2022, with ‘ordinary’ residents restricted to watering their gardens twice a week for eight minutes at a time.

Ms Kardashian, who lives in a $60 million house in The Oaks – an exclusive gated community near the epicentre of one of this week’s fires – was fined by city authorities that year for using 232,000 gallons of water more than her allocation.

Other celebrities including Sylvester Stallone and comedian Kevin Hart were also fined.

There is no need for anyone not to water their gardens or lawn.

It’s now filling ups reservoirs and not worry about some stupid fish.

Kardashian attacked the mayor.

This is a ‘shot across the bow’ telling her to shut up... or else. Kim is being told to shut up with this story. Same day she attacked Mayor Bass this story.

Maybe that actor publicist from IT ENDS WITH US was hired by the mayor?

Keep in mind that as each house and business burned down, their intake supply line would then be open and releasing uncontrolled water flow.

I don’t think I’ve used 232000 gallons in the last 5 years.

But the size of Kim’s ass I guess that’s 50 gallons per flush.

People don’t realize that those people have commercial size meters for their water, gas, and electric, they consume at extraordinary rates, and that goes for all of their homes and all of their accommodations when they travel.

They have oversize water pipes, gas pipes, and electric wiring, and if you are curious, yes, they will talk about their environmental concerns if you ask them, even while you are doing the work.

You may be surprised.

But it’s still California’s fault for diverting all the water into the sea. I remember during a conservation push in Tucson there were many comments in the online newspaper that since the City of Tucson wasted so much water (which everyone could see) they were going to water as much as they wanted!

From my observations, the wealthy leftist are the most wasteful people in the world...I’ve see it close up...They’re a bunch of hypocrite posers!

They only want YOU to do without.

Two old retired folks here.
We use about 1,500 gallons per month.
(less than 20,000 gallons per year)

Ms Kardashian, who lives in a $60 million house

So that fat-ass's house is worth more than three times that of Mar-a-Lago according to Biden's klan?

I think it just gets funnier and funnier as the blame game starts. They all created this mess and nobody is owning up. It’s hilarious. A comedian could have a field day.

Hey, the fire hydrants don’t have water but we cool because Kim Kardashian’s daisies and hydrangea flowers are looking so pretty this time of year.......LOL! It’s the biggest S@#$ show we could ever hope for......and now we find out Pacific Palisades voted over 70% blue when California was 59% blue. Meaning.......Pacific Palisades millionaires and billionaries are dumber than most Californians.

The jokes write themselves......and wait till the fires are out.....then the real fingerpointing begins....we could even see violence but they like Antifa and BLM violence...so they asked for it...they may get it.

Kim Kardashian who broke water-saving rules to tend to their huge gardens

Kim Kardashian lives in the richest city, in the richest, state, in the wealthiest country in the world.

She should be able to water her f'ing garden.

The hydrants didn't run dry because of Kim Kardashian's illegal Mexican landscaper sprinkling water on her azaleas.

HOUSES WITH INTERNAL FIRE SPRINKLERS==a problem, also.

THEY KEEP ON RUNNING water as the house is totally gone.

RE: KIM K: THAT is almost 800 gallons a day over usage.

Usually they watch from their gilded enclaves as others suffer due to the policies and politicians that they supported.

It's going to be different this time.

Yeah, this is a game changer. California may never be the same and is ripe for Trump to turn red now.

I probably haven’t used 232,000 gallons during the last 20 plus years, I monitor that sort of thing.
