KHLOE Kardashian has been bashed by fans for wearing a “disrespectful” accessory to her nephew Mason’s Bar Mitzvah.
Although Kourtney, Mason’s mother, was raised Catholic, his father, Scott Disick, is Jewish, and had a Bar Mitzvah for the 13-year-old.

Mason’s Bar Mitzvah, which celebrates his 13th birthday in the Jewish faith, was on Saturday night.
His birthday is on December 14th.
During the party, Khloe took photos with her nieces, North West and Penelope Disick.
“Mazel Tov Mason!!! The girls and I attempted to take some pics,” she captioned the post.
Khloe looked flawless and posed with a closed-mouth smile, while the girls did various poses.
They held up peace signs and made funny faces, as their aunt put her arm around them.
North was blurry in most of the pictures, as she appeared to be moving in most of them.
However, what Kardashian fans noticed the most was the huge cross necklace around her neck that was visible in nearly every picture.
A cross is usually worn by Christians to symbolize Jesus Christ dying on the cross, which is something the Jewish faith does not believe in.
It was a big silver cross that was around two inches in height, filled with diamonds, and sat right above her breastbone.
‘THAT’S BOLD’
Fans took to the comments to bash her for wearing the accessory.
“A cross at a bar mitzvah. That’s bold,” commented one fan.
To that, another replied: “I thought the same thing.”
A third Instagram user said: “It’s funny how it’s a Bar Mitzvah and she’s wearing a cross necklace.”
Another wrote: “She could have worn her everyday cross – no issue with that – but she decided to make a gigantic cross a fashion statement to her nephew’s Bar Mitzvah. It’s rude and disrespectful tbh.”
Other fans pointed out that they didn’t know that the family was Jewish, but Instagram users let them know that Scott is.
FAMILY FALLOUT?
The necklace was only one detail Kardashian fans picked up on.
They noticed that one family member was missing from the party- Kourtney’s new husband, Travis Barker.
They celebrated with an extravagant party in West Hollywood with many family members in attendance.
In a Reddit thread, fans noticed that the blink-182 drummer was not in attendance.
One fan said: “I wonder if this means things are weird with Scott and Travis.”
Kourtney and Scott dated on and off for about a decade until the two called it quits in 2015.
They have three children- Mason, Penelope, and Reign- together.
Another fan added: “If they can’t attend an event together for Mason’s sake they both need to grow up.”
A third fan suggested: “Kourtney without Travis by her side? Hmmm…this says A LOT.”
A fourth commentator chimed in: “How come no Travis?”
In March, Scott hung out with his ex Kourtney and her rocker husband at his son Reign’s baseball game.
Sources claimed the public outing was a “rare occasion,” but that Scott and Travis were “not on friendly terms.”
The two did not show any bad blood between each other “because the kids are around.”
An insider close to the famous family told Us Weekly: “[Scott] can’t stand being around him. He despises Travis.
“Scott adores his kids and would do anything to make them happy.”
