In an explosive tell-all essay, Jessica DeFino, who worked as an assistant editor for the family from 2015 to 2016, says that her wages were 'low and laughable' in Los Angeles.

AceShowbiz - A former employee of the Kardashian-Jenner family has revealed that she earned a shockingly low salary. Jessica DeFino, who worked as an assistant editor for Kardashian Jenner Official Apps from 2015 to 2016, said that she considered selling her "plasma and eggs" while the family "made millions."

On Tuesday, April 12, Jessica made a shocking revelation in an essay she posted on VICE. Recalling her time working for the billionaire family, she claimed that she was paid just $35,000 per year despite the family's "unimaginable wealth." She wrote, "I took home a little more than $600 per week, after taxes. Nearly half my income went to renting my run-down studio. The other half was spread across utilities (heat, electric, internet), transportation (car insurance, gas), health care (co-pays, birth control), and food."

"Then, of course, there were things like tampons and toothpaste. Oil changes and overdraft fees. Concealer to cover my anxiety acne," Jessica continued. "I sold my clothes to consignment shops to earn extra cash. I looked into selling my plasma, my eggs."

Jessica further called her wages "low and laughable in Los Angeles, especially considering my experience." She shared, " 'This is what it takes to work with the most famous women in the world,' I thought. I repeated hustle culture catchphrases in my head like affirmations, like prayers from the prosperity gospel, 'You have to pay your dues. It will all be worth it someday. Hard work pays off.' "

Jessica later blasted Kim Kardashian for her tone-deaf career advice. "I wanted to get my f**king a** up, I wanted to be in that room, I wanted to climb the corporate ladder, whatever. I wanted to work. I just couldn't afford to get there," she penned.

Kim landed in hot water after her controversial work advice. In a March interview with Variety, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" alum said, "I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f**king a** up and work." She then alleged, "It seems like nobody wants to work these days."
