Little People’s Audrey Roloff slammed for selling her clothes & even bras to fans instead of donating hand-me-downs
AUDREY Roloff is being slammed for trying to sell her used, leftover clothes to fans at high prices, as opposed to donating them to people in need.
The Little People, Big World star shared a link to her personal Poshmark page, populated by more than 400 items of old clothing and accessories she is trying to unload.
Items offered at Audrey’s Closet range from $5 for a pair of used sandals or a sports bra, to over $100 for a jacket or one-piece swimsuit.
But fans on Reddit were fixated on why Audrey needs to sell the hand-me-downs at all, instead of donating them to a charity.
“Imagine not donating used clothing to a woman’s shelter or something when they already have so much (money)” one person noted.
Another followed: “Kinda surprising that Audrey doesn’t believe in charitable donations, especially when most of them were prob free anyways??

One fellow fan found the offerings “ironic coming from such a religious family.”
And another had issues with what exactly is being sold: “So many sports bras.. and one from college.. people could buy the bra that she potentially met Jeremy in! That’s only going to increase in value!!!”
AUDREY AND BRITNEY
Of course, if fans respond to the leftovers like they respond to Audrey’s current fashion sense, sales may be hard to come by.
Last month, Audrey and husband Jeremy decided to match and wear all denim for their date night.

And right away, fans made an instant connection to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.
It all began when Audrey, 30, took to her Instagram Stories to share with fans that she and Jeremy, 31, were headed on yet another date.
In the snap, Audrey is an all-denim jumpsuit and white boots while her man sports a light denim button down matched with a pair of black jeans and brown boots.
She captioned it: “Date night 11/52.”
While some fans praised the pair, others decided to take to Reddit to mock the ex reality stars, comparing them to another former couple.
“Giving me Justin and Britney vibes!!” one fan wrote, while another added, “Canadian tuxedos are a bad look.”
Another harshly chimed in: “These two are the epitome of ‘if you don’t post about it, did it really happen?'”
Britney and Justin both matched in denim in their now iconic outfits they wore to the 2001 American Music Awards.
KEEPING UP
It’s not the first time a reality star has been slammed for trying to make a quick buck by selling old clothes online.
In January, the Kardashian sisters faced backlash for selling used clothes.
Khloe also faced backlash after listing daughter True’s old clothes for hundreds of dollars on the site.
A kid’s pair of used pink Gucci velcro tennis shoes was added to the page for $250.
Khloe also listed kid’s pair of Fendi jeans for $495.
KOSTLY KLOSET
Fans previously noted that Kim – worth an estimated $1.2billion – put hefty price tags on some of the items she was reselling.
Last month, the former Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum announced on Instagram that she was adding items to her closet.
She scrolled through several high-end goods, including a $700 robe.
Fans were shocked to see the price tags, considering many of the items are used.
On the Kardashian Kloset Instagram, many followers made their feelings known.
“Y’all have so much money. Why not donate these items ? Or the proceeds to a good cause?” one urged.
“Why is everything so expensive on here? Don’t they get half the things for free? As PR?” a second asked.
A third ranted: “Imagine getting the bulk of your clothes for free, and then reselling them when you’re already ridiculously rich.”
“Donate your clothes!” one remarked, while another suggested, “Maybe a once in a while donation to a women’s shelter or send the proceeds wouldn’t- that would be a great thing.”
KONTROVERSIAL
That same month, Kylie Jenner, 24, faced backlash for placing a $65K Hermes Birkin bag on the platform.
The younger KarJenner shared her newest listings to her Instagram Story, writing “I added new items from my closet!”
Among the new additions was the Hermes Birkin 30, along with other handbags priced at $29.9K and $17.5K.
For those strapped for cash there was also a Jil Sander cluch for $1K.
Kylie described the priciest Hermes Birkin to have a “missing lock and key, minor wear at side seams and top of handles with very minor scratches on hardware” with the material listed as “alligator.”
Although Birkins are coveted handbags and can fetch $25K+, fans slammed the reality star.
Many flocked to Twitter, ripping Kylie for reselling her used bags at outrageous prices.
“I love how Kylie says ‘I added new items to my closet’ & it’s a $65,000 bag, one wrote.
A Reddit user started a thread titled “$65K ????”

One added: “It’s an Hermès Birkin and those soar in value. But like how other people in the comments have mentioned, I don’t think any of her followers are able to afford these.
“Maybe her celeb friends, but no average person is going to be like ‘ah yes, let me buy an Hermes Birkin on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon.'”
