On the episode featuring the Red Lobster moment, fans also saw Kim Kardashian having a heartbreaking conversation with inmate Brandon Bernard (via Bustle). Although the star has helped to overturn the sentences of more than a dozen prisoners, this accused murderer was ultimately killed via lethal injection.
“This is why I do what I do, because the system is so broken,” the star explained during the episode. She added her goal is to share the process and opined that the death penalty is “inhumane.” Kardashian also told viewers, “I have to fight harder to make sure this doesn’t happen to someone else.”
Fans on social media were largely impressed after seeing this side of the star we are more accustomed to associating with glam and undergarments. “Y’all can say what y’all wanna say about Kim Kardashian but at the end of the day you can see Kim genuinely cares about the people she is helping. She is most definitely going to change a lot of [people’s] lives and I am here for it!!” tweeted one person.
Someone else reminded us about her role in helping Julius Jones to be granted clemency in 2021 (via NPR). And as one person also tweeted, the star deserves more “recognition” for her work to help death row inmates, especially now that she’s officially a lawyer.
