“Someone must have not paid attention at the family meeting,” a fan joked after Kim trolled her mom on Instagram.
Kim Kardashian caught Kris Jenner red-handed after her mom supported another athletic apparel brand on the same day she announced SKIMS’ partnership with Nike.
On Tuesday, the SKIMS founder shared the exciting news her shapewear and clothing brand is partnering with Nike to create a new activewear brand, NikeSKIMS, which will launch this spring.
“Introducing NikeSKIMS. A new brand coming this spring for the body obsessed,” Kim, 41, wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the official logo. “Designed to sculpt and engineered to perform.”

However, only a few hours later, her mom, Kris, posted an ad on Instagram of herself rocking a head-to-toe look from the competition — as she was pictured wearing a black sweatsuit set, white socks, and white sneakers from athletic apparel brand, Alo.
“Cozy days in my @alo,” the momager captioned the photo of her posing on the stairs.
It didn’t take long for Kim to notice — and publicly call out her mom in the comments section of Kris’ post. “Did you really have to post this on the same day as my NikeSKIMS announcement?!?!?!” Kim jokingly wrote.

The Kardashians star’s response was posted on the Instagram account, Comments By Celebs, with many fans taking to the comment section to react to Kim calling out her mom.
“Someone must have not paid attention at the family meeting. đ,” a fan joked.
“Kris Jenner works HARD,” a second person added, while another commented, “My mom does the same s–t tbh.”
Meanwhile, another user suggested that Kris sharing an ad for a competing athleisure brand was intentional, writing, “Everything is orchestrated with this family. Clearly a way to raise more awareness of skims collab, and it worked.”
However, it’s worth noting that Kris did post about Kim’s exciting news before she posted her Alo ad.
