While claiming by hashtag that her recent Instagram post was #NotAnAd, Kim Kardashian is being called out by fans after promoting a super-expensive "full-body scan."

Kardashian shared a photo of herself in scrubs posing with a Prenuvo machine and listing its benefits:

"I recently did this @prenuvo scan and had to tell you all about this life saving machine."
"The Prenuvo full-body scan has the ability to detect cancer and diseases such as aneurysms in its earliest stages, before symptoms arise."
"It was like getting a MRI for an hour with no radiation. It has really saved some of my friends lives and I just wanted to share #NotAnAd."

While—per the reality star's caption—the machine performs an incredible task, the $2,500 per scan price tag makes this "life saving machine" inaccessible to many of Kardashian's fans.

And they let her know in the comments.

Kyle Rittenhouse Blasted Over Sociopathic Post Following ICE Shooting In Minneapolis

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.” But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushed back against this narrative considering witnesses described seeing Good in the vehicle trying to flee officers when she was shot.

The Williams sisters weren't the first Black people—men or women—to play tennis at an international level, but they quickly achieved heights that set them on the path to legendary status.

The heightened attention brought with it a lot of racist and colorist comments about their hair, their skin, and their bodies—especially Serena's more muscular and curvy body.
