Hollywood’s biggest names have spent years telling America exactly what they think of the Kardashian-Jenner empire.

The Kardashians are inescapable — the reality shows, the magazine covers, the endless stream of selfies — and plenty of famous people have made it their business to say so out loud. From late-night monologues to Twitter feuds, a running list of A-listers has publicly picked apart the family’s fame, their influence on young women, and the industry that keeps handing them a platform. Here’s a look at the sharpest jabs thrown their way.

  • Jon Hamm called Kim Kardashian a “f—ing idiot” in a 2012 Elle UK interview, questioning why fame gets handed to reality stars over people with actual talent.
  • Chelsea Handler mocked the family repeatedly on “Chelsea Lately” and claimed the Kardashians were responsible for the decline of Western civilization.
  • Chloë Grace Moretz clashed with Kim Kardashian on Twitter in March 2016 after Kardashian’s viral nude selfie, telling her young women deserve a better example.

Jon Hamm’s Blunt Assessment

Jon Hamm wasn’t shy about it. In early 2012, while promoting his own work, the “Mad Men” star told Elle UK that he found it baffling that a culture obsessed with intelligence and craft would elevate someone like Kim Kardashian to superstardom. His comment — flatly calling her a “f—ing idiot” — became one of the most quoted celebrity takedowns of the family, and it set the tone for years of similar complaints from actors who felt reality fame was crowding out actual talent.

Chelsea Handler’s Running Bit

Chelsea Handler didn’t just take one shot — she made the Kardashians a recurring punchline on “Chelsea Lately” during her time at E!, the same network that aired “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Handler went further in interviews, framing the family’s ascent as something close to a symptom of societal decline rather than a harmless pop-culture curiosity.

The Kardashians, in Handler’s telling, weren’t just annoying — they were evidence Western civilization had lost the plot.

It’s the kind of dig that lands harder coming from someone who shared a network with the family, and it’s part of why Handler’s name keeps coming up whenever this list gets made.

Daniel Craig’s Privacy Argument

Daniel Craig came at the family from a different angle entirely. The James Bond star took issue with reality personalities who build entire careers on broadcasting their private lives and then complain when the same scrutiny turns uncomfortable. He pointed specifically at the Kardashians as the clearest example of that contradiction — famous for openness, until openness becomes inconvenient.

Amber Rose and Chloë Grace Moretz Go Public

Amber Rose has plenty of history with the family through her past relationship with Kanye West and her public back-and-forth with Khloé Kardashian. In 2016, she put it bluntly: the family’s careers, in her view, trace back to Kim Kardashian’s sex tape and little else. That kind of long-running tension between Rose and the Kardashians has made her one of the more consistent critics in this space, a dynamic covered in our look at celebs who started out friends and ended up enemies.

Chloë Grace Moretz’s clash was more direct and more recent. After Kim Kardashian posted a nude selfie in March 2016 that set social media ablaze, Moretz responded on Twitter, urging Kardashian to use her platform to teach young women they have more to offer than their bodies. The comment set off an online back-and-forth, with members of the Kardashian-Jenner family pushing back publicly against Moretz’s criticism.

The Wider List

Reese Witherspoon, Janice Dickinson, and Mariah Carey have all taken their own shots at reality-star culture and the manufactured visibility that keeps the Kardashian-Jenner name in constant rotation. Taken together, the pattern is consistent: traditional entertainers — actors, comedians, musicians who built careers on craft — keep drawing a hard line between what they do and what reality television rewards.

Moretz’s Twitter exchange with Kim Kardashian happened eight months before this list circulated, and it’s the freshest flashpoint on it — proof the Hamm-and-Handler-style criticism never really stopped, it just moved from talk-show couches to a phone screen.
