In the United States, several celebrities, such as Kim and Kourtney Kardashian or Sylvester Stallone, have been pinned for their excessive consumption ofwater in times of restriction and drought.

On the heights of Los Angeles (United States), the houses of the stars are visible, with their huge swimming pools, their maintained gardens and their watered lawn. But some celebrities have been called to order by the county of California for excessive use of thewater, while the country is in the midst of a drought. Kim Kardashian thus used 878,000 liters ofwater over the authorized limit, i.e. an overrun of 533%.

Actor Sylvester Stallone is also pinned. His lawyer released a statement to explain. “There are over 500 trees on the property, without proper watering they may die“, he writes, pointing out that falling trees could happen.

Since May 2022, with an exceptional drought, the county has asked all its inhabitants to reduce their consumption of 50% bywater. “I would like the celebrities, who are followed by millions of people on social networks, to work with me, with the district“, regrets Mike McNutt, communication manager of the management of thewater of the district of Las Virgenes.
