Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash After Letting 11-Year-Old North Attend Coachella Without Supervision
Kim Kardashian has found herself at the center of a heated parenting debate — again. This time, it’s after her 11-year-old daughter, North West, was spotted at Coachella without her famous mom in sight.
North, the eldest child of Kim and Kanye West, took to TikTok with a now-viral video showing her dancing at the iconic music festival alongside friends. In the clip, North is wearing a full face of glam makeup, a designer Balenciaga bag, a hoodie-and-mini-skirt combo, and enough confidence to command a crowd. But while the young starlet seemed to be having fun, the internet wasn’t amused.
“Why is an 11-year-old at Coachella without her mom?” one Reddit user asked. Others didn’t hold back: “Kim’s parenting is just a long PR campaign,” someone wrote, while another chimed in, “North is a child, not an influencer-in-training. Let her be a kid.”
What really riled fans was North’s grown-up look — especially the heavy makeup and high-end fashion choices. For many, it raised concerns about boundaries, social media exposure, and the pressure on celebrity kids to grow up way too fast.
Adding fuel to the fire, some critics brought up past comments North has made about her mom’s parenting. In an old interview, North joked that Kim hadn’t cooked a meal in two years. “You made mac and cheese for Halloween two years ago,” North teased — to which Kim admitted, “I’m a one-trick pony.”
The conversation around Kim’s parenting choices is nothing new, but this latest incident has reignited debate on how far is too far when it comes to kids and fame. With millions of followers watching North’s every move online, fans are asking: where do you draw the line between letting your child express themselves and protecting their childhood?
Whether you think it’s harmless fun or a red flag, one thing is certain — the internet is watching.
