After negotiating an early release and writing the foreword to her book, After Life: My Journey From Incarceration to Freedom, Kim Kardashian is still paying it forward for Alice Marie Johnston. The 64-year-old will be fronting SKIMS Solutionwear, Kardashian's line of shapewear.
Fans aren't too pleased, though.

According to People, Johnson's first order of business is starring in a video promoting the line's sculpting bodysuit, but Twitter isn't happy about the situation, saying that Kardashian is twisting what seemed like a genuine humanitarian effort into a way to promote her line.
"I was serving a 25-year sentence without the possibility of parole. Kim saw a video of me. She heard my story. She said, 'This is so unfair.' And by the way, I didn’t even know who Kim Kardashian was!" Johnson said in SKIMS's first promo video. "She went to war for me to fight for my freedom. That's why I call her my 'war angel,' because nothing stood between her and my freedom."
Critics are claiming the move is a calculated way for Kardashian to profit off of Johnson's situation. During her visits to the White House Kardashian worked to promote the First Step Act, which helps freed prisoners land on their feet when they return to civilian life.
