# Get Your Fucking Ass Up And Work Kim Kardashian offered the blunt career tip during a March 2022 Variety roundtable interview promoting Hulu's The Kardashians, and the clip triggered immediate backlash over her out-of-touch framing. Within 24 hours the quote was a catchphrase, and by mid-March Instagram meme accounts were pasting it over screenshots of her 2003 sex tape and jokes about her famous family. ## Origin On March 9th, 2022, Variety posted a sit-down interview with the Kardashian family to YouTube to promote their incoming Hulu show, The Kardashians. Around the 5:11 mark, Kim said, "I have the best advice for women in business: get your fucking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days," and Kourtney Kardashian agreed on camera[1]. Variety clipped the moment into a tweet the same day, which drew more than 14,500 likes and over 46,000 quote-retweets inside a week as users piled on with context about the family's wealth[5]. The earliest wave of backlash came within hours of that tweet going up. Actress Jameela Jamil quote-tweeted Variety with a critical reply that passed 44,000 likes in a week[2], and former Kardashian app contributor Jessica DeFino quote-tweeted on the same day with claims about the pay she got working for the family, drawing over 640,000 likes[3]. - **Platform:** YouTube (Variety interview) / Twitter and TikTok (viral spread) - **Creator:** Kim Kardashian (originator of the quote) - **Date:** 2022 ## Overview Get Your Fucking Ass Up And Work is a catchphrase lifted from Kim Kardashian's March 2022 Variety roundtable, where she offered it as blanket advice for women in business before adding that nobody seems to want to work anymore[1]. Online reactions pointed to the Kardashian family's billion-dollar inheritance and Kim's own launch via a leaked sex tape, so the quote became ammunition against the idea that she pulled herself up by sheer effort[2]. Meme versions typically pair the sentence with a damning visual: a paparazzi shot of Kim with Ray J, or a photo of Kris, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian captioned to point out the family money[3]. TikTok edits often loop the audio clip of Kim saying the line over footage of actual workers or exaggerated comedy skits, with the joke sitting in the gap between her phrasing and the reality of her come-up[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Get Your Fucking Ass Up And Work?
