"The class’s assignment was to learn about SKIMS," she wrote of her billion-dollar shapewear fashion company. "My partner Jens and I spoke about our marketing, our challenges and our greatest wins.

"I’m so proud of Skims and the thought that it is a course being studied at Harvard is just crazy!!!" she added.

Althought the 42-year-old said the accomplishment was a "bucket list dream," her showing has caused a lot of backlash online aimed at the university.
