Kim Kardashian has hit back after Jon Hamm trashed her in a recent interview by accusing her of making "stupidity" cool.

The Mad Men star voiced his dismay at the public's fascination with the brunette beauty and her famous family, calling the socialite a "f**king idiot".

He told Elle magazine: "We're at a place where the idea of being 'elite' is somehow considered a negative. Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly."

Kim has now taken to her Twitter page to respond to Jon's comments and to list the reasons why she is a success.

She tweeted: "I just heard about the comment Jon Hamm made about me in an interview.

"I respect Jon and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone takes the same path in life.

"We're all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates 'stupid' is in my opinion careless."

The only time she'll be genuinely upset is when her name is no longer mentioned. I, for one, am going to upset her now.

PS: Pardon my typos/anything that doesn't make sense in my previous comment ... I hit post accidentally before editing; I joined here just last night and I don't see any "post-post" delete or edit options. Oops!

Dangit, where's my spin team?

Uh, the only reason people even care about people like Kim and Paris is because they'reighly-publicized mebubble-headed ainwrecks with hooters. Well, Paris, not so much (with the hooters).. Still, I expect her to buy some eventually when she can't stay so thin anymore due to, like, aging and stuff. Unless daddy buys her the Fouuntain of Youth or she "discovers" it by sheer accident while "designing" -- I mean sniff-testing her staff's work on -- a new addition to her personal fragrance line).

As for Kim's tweet to Hamm, she didn't get to do all those things because she's so smart and toiled her way to riches and fame. She got onto a reality TV show. She only continued to garner attention (and more wealth/publicity/undeserved "relevance" to society) because she's stacked. That, and because she Just. Won't. Go. Away. The only area in which she displays any true aptitude is in constant self-promotion.

By the way, I have some oceanfront property on the moon to sell, if anyone's interested.

She didn't write that response. That was a publicist or some other member of her team of caretakers.

She's not even smart enough to "fire back" that comment herself. Her handlers did! She's just not that articulate. The only reason she and her family is famous is because she did a sex tape that ...ooopss.. leaked out. The rode the wave of media attention that followed because her dad was one of OJ's lawyers. She promotes being self absorbed, shallow and deeply materialistic... the dumbed down people flock to that and it's a sad thing to see. Eh....

That is an assumption only on your part!!!

When you define someone and you do not know them, then you do not define the person,you define yourself.

She can't be that much of an idiot the money she has made. The family originated from Armenia and have done well for themselves. It's like the English when they first went to Australia, if you want to work hard you will get on and some did and did very well for themselves, but a lot remained whinging pommies. I am not a lover of Kim or her family, but they sure have done well for themselves.

Who is this dude?? Exactly! Kim has a right to stand up for herself and I am glad she finally is! People need to leave her be. This dude does not even know her so how can he judge whether she is intellegent or not? Words hurt and people need to think before they speak. Because once out the gate, you can't take them back. The bible says, the tongue is mightier than the sword! If you don't like the girl, then don't read articles about her or leave comments. I would love to be crazy stupid like her, especially with all of her loot. That is why that guy is pissed, her wallet is fatter than his! Now, I am going to call him a deserved name. Jerkl!
01:46 PM on 03/13/2012
Good for her! Who the heck is this dude anyway?? I never heard of him and who made him the intelligence police that he can talk about someone else. I bet Kim's bank account has more zeores than his!! He is just a hater and is using her to get his name in the press. Seems to be a lot of that going around. But, I am glad to see she is finally taking a stand for herself. Whether you love or hate her, no one deserves what he said about her.

I beg to differ Kim. Who the hell are you? Famous for being famous, you only do your 'work' coz the fame gives you easy access too.

Spot on Jon. These women deserve to be ridiculised. They do nothing for women's image, have nothing in common either with true artistic talent or hardship endured by billions. They are simply obscene.
11:49 AM on 03/13/2012
Good for her. If you don't like what she does that's your problem. You don't have to read her articles or look at her photo's. Those who continually mock her take the time to click on these posts and write comments. I wouldn't do that if I detested someone so much.
11:44 AM on 03/13/2012
I don't know who either of them are!
09:51 PM on 03/13/2012
WOW, I can't decide if you're lucky or have just been living under a rock. Kim K is all over the Hollywood news. She's the daughter of the man who was OJ Simpson's murder trial lawyer and stepdaughter of actor Bruce Jenner. Basically famous for being famous. He's an actor.
10:04 PM on 03/13/2012
Thanks for that. I must have been living under a rock. The name is vaguely familiar, but I still could pass her in the street and have no idea about it.
I've heard about the Hilton woman, but not this one.
I shall go for a ride tomorrow and try to clear my head of her.

Believe it or not, there are lots of people who don't watch TV or buy into the gossip culture of the grocerystore mag rack. Don't go to movie theaters.
They do lots of other things, read books and hang with friends, do gardening and ride bikes.

TV and that whole vortex of stupidity is just ignored.
