Kim Kardashian. Famous for her sex tape and her reality TV empire. Over the years, she and her family have become social media moguls and grown their wealth astronomically. People have also come to expect Kim Kardashian’s life to be full of risqué and controversial drama, which she consistently delivers. Kim Kardashian’s latest controversy arrived when she posted another nearly nude selfie on her twitter with the caption, “When you’re like I have nothing to wear LOL”. This immediately caused Twitter to explode as various celebrities took their digs at Kardashian. Piers Morgan, Bette Midler, Chloe Grace Moretz, and P!nk were among those who attacked Kardashian for her photo. They all called her out for flaunting her body while being a mother of two and for being a bad role model for her fan base. Kim Kardashian responded with a series of tweets that responded to her critics in a funny and effective way, and then posted another nearly nude photo.
Many people have sided with Kim Kardashian throughout this drama. She is a grown woman, and if she is confident enough to be comfortable with her body and her life, then more power to her. Even as people degrade her by telling her to be ashamed and that she has no self-respect, she stays strong in her beliefs. Despite the number of celebrities who have attacked her, even more have come out to support her. Amber Rose posted a response to P!nk’s “subtle” dig at Kardashian in Kardashian’s defense. P!nk posted a passive aggressive message on on International Women’s day, telling girls that they don’t have to use their bodies to get ahead, saying that they will instead get pride and self-respect. Amber Rose responded by reprimanding P!nk for attempting to bring other women down for their choices. Miley Cyrus even spoke up on this issue by calling for women to come together and build each other up instead of attacking each other for their choices.
Ultimately, this reaction to Kim Kardashian’s selfie is rather uncalled for. While many people call this type of photo classless and say Kardashian has no self-respect, she is a grown woman and feels confident enough to post that selfie. Women should not attack other women for doing what makes them feel good. Some women are empowered by modesty, but others are empowered by nudity. And as long as everyone is happy with themselves, what’s the difference?
