The Kardashian-Jenner family had the opportunity to watch Wicked before it was actually released, and some people are tired of seeing the family flaunt their wealth. On December 1, about a week after the film’s official premiere, Kim posted a family photo of the Wicked-themed pajama party on Instagram. While some people simply thought it was cool that the stars of the movie, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, joined them for the advance screening, others saw it as an example of how the Kardashians seem out of touch.

Fans reacted to Kim's black-and-white photo from the 'Wicked' pajama party.
Kim simply captioned the photo with, “Wicked pajama party.” Not everyone loves the post, and some people called the Kardashians out for their privilege.
“People actually get sick of you all flaunting your privilege during these times. Why not flaunt your giving back in some real and meaningful way?” one person wrote.
Another person speculated that the Kardashians are “the only family that can get the movie to come to them.”
Some fans focused more on Kim's dating history.
Other people who commented on the post were more entertained by the fact that Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande have dated the same man: comedian Pete Davidson. Ariana and Pete started dating, got engaged, and ended their engagement in 2018. Then, in 2021, Kim and Pete sparked dating rumors before confirming their relationship in 2022. They split up later that year.
Because Ariana and Kim were at the same pajama party, some commenters made jokes about Pete.
“Was Pete there?” one person wondered.
Another wrote, “I just realized Kim and Ariana dated the same man.”

At the pajama party, the Kardashians had pink and green treats, decor, and pajamas.
In addition to having the stars of the movie at the party, the Kardashians’ party had other extravagant features. During the October advance screening, Kim shared several photos from the pajama party to her Instagram Stories. In her posts, she showcased her home, which was decorated with Wicked signage, pink flowers, green carpet, and pink balloons. The family sported matching green and pink pajamas and enjoyed Wicked-inspired treats.
“I just came home. Look what we’re watching tonight,” Kim said at the time, adding that the special screening was something that “Cynthia and Ariana set up for us.”
'These kids are going to be so bored by the time they’re 12,' one Redditor pointed out.
On Reddit, some fans and critics pointed out that the Kardashian-Jenner family seems to have extravagant events like this one quite frequently. They also wondered how it might impact the children in the family.
“I’m not mad about their theme parties but the way something huge with a theme party or vacation happens basically every two weeks in their family I’m sure on some level they’re desensitized to it by now,” one person wrote.
“These kids are going to be so bored by the time they’re 12,” another person speculated.
Another Redditor described the pajama party as “a grotesque display of waste.” Ouch!
Some 'Wicked' fans questioned the marketing strategy.
On a separate subreddit dedicated to Wicked, fans of the musical wondered why the Kardashians were part of the movie’s marketing strategy.
“Why exactly does this family warrant their own private screening a month before the movie comes out???” one person wondered.
Another Redditor pointed out the irony of the Kardashian pajama party. “Wicked is a critique of the very oligarchical structures that the Kardashians represent,” the commenter wrote.
But others insisted that the Kardashian family’s exclusive Wicked party was not that deep. “At the end of the day the film is a product that must make enough money to be successful,” one person pointed out.
