Khloe Kardashian is no stranger to being criticized on social media. In the last couple of the months alone, she has been called out for promoting weight-loss shakes, and has faced Photoshop accusations on Instagram.

Now, people are questioning an interaction between the reality star and one of her fans. On Tuesday, a woman named Kaelynn Abner tweeted photos of a package she said Kardashian sent to her, containing jeans, shorts, and athletic wear from the reality television star's clothing line Good American.

In her post, Abner said she was "so thankful" that Kardashian took time to send her the items, and included photos of herself wearing pieces from the line.

But not everyone agreed that it was a sweet gesture

Some people online took issue with Kardashian sending the clothes to Abner. While some said that Kardashian's jeans were too expensive, others felt that the star was simply promoting her clothing line.

Speaking to INSIDER, Abner described herself as a long-time Kardashian supporter, and 'Good American's #1 fan'

Abner told INSIDER that she's most drawn to Khloe out of the Kardashian crew, and "loves everything she is about."

"My favorite thing about [Khloe Kardashian] is how body positive she is," Abner told INSIDER. "I love that she makes clothes for any body type, and I support her brand 100%."

While she says she is still "in complete shock" after seeing her first tweet go viral, and has been "on Cloud 9" since Kardashian responded, Abner said it has been difficult to see negative reactions in response to their Twitter exchange.

"I have never had much attention from my 100 Twitter followers, and was trying to make a comical tweet," she said. "I had every intention of working for something that I thought was worth working for."

"I meant my tweet in a very positive way," Abner added. "If you pay attention to Khloe’s personality in the show, you'll know she is a very genuine person and meant that response in the nicest way possible."

As for the package she received, Abner says that Kardashian's assistant reached out to her to get her mailing address. She continued to call the gift an "extremely generous gesture from Khloe," and wishes that people would "be more positive about this situation."

Representatives for Khloe Kardashian and Good American did not immediately reply to INSIDER's requests for comment.
