Kim Kardashian branded ‘TONE-DEAF’ for plugging $2499 full-body scan which can detect ‘cancer and diseases’: ‘People can’t afford food right now!’
Kim Kardashian has been branded ‘tone-deaf’ after she urged her fans to undergo a $2,499 radiation-free MRI scan this week.
The reality star, 42, came under fire after she underwent a groundbreaking Prenuvo scan, which provides early detection for more than 500 cancers and diseases, and waxed lyrical about how the machine had ‘saved some of her friends’ lives.’
‘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,’ she captioned a photo of her next to the ‘life-saving machine.’
The billionaire mogul – who is currently suffering from a broken shoulder and a torn tendon – concluded the post by adding the hashtag, #NotAnAd.
However, the comment section was flooded with messages about how the scan was ‘not affordable’ for ‘regular folks’.

One fan wrote: ‘Another very tone deaf post from a Kardashian’ while a second typed: ‘Tone deaf and incorrect information!!’
Another wrote: ‘Love a billionaire recommending preventative care that is totally inaccessible to 98% of your fan base, total vibe.’
Others wrote: ‘Wow, thanks so much for sharing something 90 percent of the population can’t afford’, ‘ ‘Kim, this is for wealthy people. People can’t afford food right now.’ and ‘Wow thanks so much for sharing something 90 percent of the population can’t afford.’
‘How many hoops you gotta jump through before your insurance covers that?’ one asked.
Another reminded her: ‘Kim, it’s hard to buy groceries in this economy.’
Prenuvo shared the image on their Instagram Story as well as a note that praised her ‘generous goodwill support.’
‘With 1 in 20 patients of Prenuvo getting alerted to potentially life-saving findings, you are literally saving lives,’ the company added. ‘We cannot wait to keep working on our side to make this more widely accessible, lowering cost, and convincing the insurance systems to start covering proactive healthcare.’
Speaking to Kardashian, directly, Prenuvo concluded they are ‘so glad to hear’ they ‘impacted the health trajectory of’ her friends.
However, the comment section was flooded with messages about how the scan was ‘not affordable’ for ‘regular folks’.

On season three of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder’s mother, Kris Jenner, opened up about her decision to get a full-body MRI scan ahead of her 67th birthday.
‘I start thinking about what I can do to take care of myself and to be the best that I can possibly be,’ she told viewers.
Jenner also mused that her health was of the utmost importance as she teased that ‘retirement is not a word’ that she will ‘ever use.’
The momager expressed enjoying her 55 minutes of ‘alone time’ in the machine at Prenuvo’s Los Angeles location.
Kris stated she felt compelled to do the scan because it reveals if there’s ‘anything going on in the inside’ and if she ‘should be worried about on the inside.’
‘I plan on lasting a really long time. I need a lot of energy because I have this really crazy life. Six kids, 12 grandchildren, lots of other people in my life that need my energy, my attention. I wanna be able to do the things I want to do,’ she said in a confessional.

Ultimately, her scans revealed that her brain looks ‘perfect, with no concerning lesions.’
Still, she suffers from low-grade back pain, but was told that she is ‘incredibly healthy.’
‘Knowing your age, I’d kind of put you well into the forties, is where your body fits,’ the doctor told her.
Jenner excitedly responded: ‘That’s amazing!’
‘I am literally 40 years old — physically,’ Kris gushed to the cameras. ‘To hear that I’m young on the inside is so happy.’
‘Can’t wait to tell my kids I’m their same age,’ she said in the office. ‘I’m 40 again, guys, I’m 40. And my brain looks great by the way.’
