On Monday, Kardashian posteda carouselof seemingly innocuous photos toher Instagram. However,one picture stirred up a lot of controversy.
“All that food in the bathroom,” wrote one ofThe Kardashiansstar’s followers alongside two face-palm emojis in reference to a photo showing off her light-blue-colored bathroom floor littered with a buffet of plates piled high with chicken wings, strawberries, cheesecake and champagne.
“Sigh. You used to be [so] classy. What happened?” another follower wrote in the comment section.
Others were more concerned about the placement of the dishes, writing, “Food on the toilet 😮 that’s nasty,” in reference to the half eaten sandwich resting on the toilet seat.

Hoda Kotband Jenna Bush Hagerdebated the merits of eating in the bathroomon a Wednesday segment ofToday— so Lakshmi made sure to tag them in her post as well.
“There are certain rooms called dining rooms, kitchens, and they were named that way, because the bathroom — one or two activities are supposed to happen there. Eating is not one of them,” Bush Hager said in response to Kardashian’s bathroom setup.
Kotb, who stated she was playing “devil’s advocate,” countered: “But having a nice drink in the tub is ok?”
“I don’t really do that either,” Bush Hager responded. “I’ll have some tea, maybe, yes. But eating food? Eating a burger?”
