Danny Trejo Criticizes Kim Kardashian Over Wildfire Comments

The actor argues Kardashian's focus on inmate firefighter wages detracts from helping wildfire victims in Los Angeles.

  • Danny Trejo publicly criticized Kim Kardashian for her recent comments about low wages for incarcerated firefighters during the Los Angeles wildfires.
  • Trejo, a former inmate firefighter himself, emphasized that wildfire relief efforts should prioritize helping displaced victims rather than political advocacy.
  • Kardashian highlighted the $1/hour wage for inmate firefighters and the failure of a proposal to raise it to $5/hour, calling for better compensation.
  • Trejo countered that inmates value sentence reductions more than wages, as most earnings go toward restitution payments.
  • The actor, known for his philanthropic work in Los Angeles, urged celebrities to focus on immediate support for those who lost everything in the fires.
