Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) mentioned the three Kardashian sisters Tuesday on Twitter after they pulled support for a prepaid debit card bearing their photos that was revealed to include hidden fees.

"Good for @kimkardashian, @kourtneykardash & @Khloekardashian for protecting their fans from hidden prepaid debit card fees," Menendez said.

He followed up by encouraging the sisters, known for their reality show "Keeping up with the Kardashians," to support legislation to raise disclosure requirements for the cards' terms of use.

The additional payments required by the Kardashian card would have totaled nearly $100 for 12 months, according to the New York Daily News. This revelation prompted Connecticut's attorney general to threaten an investigation against its parent company, citing potential violation of state laws and the Dodd-Frank Act.

A family lawyer told the Daily News that the girls hoped the fiasco would not damage their "honest, ethical, and fun-loving" brand.
