Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/kimkardashian/?hl=en-gb She wrote at the time, “Pub hopping on this St. Paddy’s day,” before following up with a picture of her “baby Guinness” shot, which is made using coffee liqueur and
Irish cream.

Twitter: @iwan They posted the photo to their Instagram story alongside the caption: “thanks for the pint @KimKardashian.” One of their
Friends shared the post to Twitter, and wrote: “How’s my mate just bumped into Kim K at the boozer???” iwan @iwan How’s my mate just bumped into Kim K at the boozer??? 11:07 PM - 17 Mar 2023 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @iwan The candid snap immediately resonated with people because of how natural Kim looked in the everyday

Twitter: @katie_0305 This is a particularly interesting take as it follows what was arguably Kim’s worst PR year yet . Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue In fact, 2022 was largely regarded as the year that Kim became more out of touch than ever before to her fanbase after she made a series of wild claims about work ethic and body image while simultaneously flaunting her extreme wealth with tours of her private jet . Hulu Which could be why she is testing out a more relatable rebrand for 2023. View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @kimkardashian But some still leaped to Kim’s defense as they insisted that she definitely didn’t have an ulterior motive with her casual pub outing. One person argued: “Girl she is just at a bar getting a drink….. bffr.” Twitter: @alex_da_great98 “This is so stupid.. she’s having fun with her childhood friends in London..” someone else wrote. Twitter: @besweetpea216 But now a behind-the-scenes insight into how that viral photo came to be has highlighted the stark difference between Instagram and reality as it proved just how far removed Kim really is from everyday life. View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @kimkardashian The second photo was taken by Dominic Turner, and shared to Twitter by his friend Dan Zetterström. Twitter: @TheZignal And while Kim may be able to exude the appearance of a regular person enjoying a pint in some posts, this new image paints a completely different picture. Dominic Turner Here you can see that Kim isn’t just enjoying a beer with her friends while on vacation as some fans argued, she’s actually filming content for what is assumed to be her family reality show, The Kardashians . Hulu In a wide shot photo of the pub, Kim and her pals are surrounded by a camera crew, with several people adorned with filming equipment — including lighting to ensure that the star looks nothing less than flawless at all times. View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @kimkardashian There is even a camera operator behind the bar to secure footage of Kim from every angle, making it obvious that this trip wasn’t the spontaneous St. Paddy’s Day celebration that it was initially made out to be. Dominic Turner Tweeting a side-by-side of Kim holding the drinks in the pub and the long shot image, one person admitted: “disappointed to learn that this was the insta vs reality of kim k in the pub.” leanne @fantasy_snack disappointed to learn that this was the insta vs reality of kim k in the pub 12:22 PM - 19 Mar 2023 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @fantasy_snack “A 4 cam production team following your every move seems terrible,” another user replied. Twitter: @willgriffintx “Kim is not going to a Pub to be around common folk,” someone else agreed. Twitter: @taterthot42069 “Their reality isn't our reality,” one more wrote. Twitter: @AZNightbreed And the replies to Dan’s original tweet garnered a similar response, with one person writing: “Imagine that being normal to you? I’d never go anywhere.” Twitter: @starland71 “I can’t believe how many camera people are there for a candid reality show,” another observed. Twitter: @SilvaRecord And while Kim’s pub crawl may have helped to convince some people that she’s just like us, she may need to leave the camera crew at home next time she tries to seem relatable.
