This (manufactured) drama with Kim Kardashian has really taken on a life of its own, huh? What I still don’t understand is why people/celebrities still feel the need to chime in? Kim Kardashian likes to post nude photos, and why not? Why does everyone care about that so deeply? Why are so many people hellbent on body-policing other women? That’s my take on it – Kim can do whatever she wants with her body and it’s none of my business. Pink can do whatever she wants with her body and it’s none of my business. No one, no celebrity or celebrity-watcher should get in the habit of saying “this woman can’t do this, that or the other with her own body.”

You know who agrees with me? Amber Rose. I never thought we would come to the point where I agree more with Amber Rose than Pink, but here we are. Amber reposted Pink’s statement and then wrote this on her Instagram:

Damn Pink we were all born naked society sexualizes our breast and bodies. If a grown mother of 2 is comfortable with her body and wants to show it off that’s none of ur business or anyone else’s. Now, if u wanna talk to kids and be a mentor to young teens, tell them to go to school and to not use their bodies to get ahead?! I’m all for it! But please as a grown woman let another grown woman live as she wishes. That’s our problem! We’re so quick to down each other instead of uplifting! Pink, We’ve seen u damn near naked swinging from a rope( Beautifully) but what’s the difference between a rope, a pole and a pic on Instagram? Classism. Because u sing while ur half naked does that make it “Classy” or is it because u have a “talent”? I’m not dissing at all Pink just curious after u said “You’ll never have to make a silly excuse for yourself”.

I mean… word. She’s absolutely right. And I absolutely need this on a t-shirt: “But please as a grown woman let another grown woman live as she wishes.” Anyway, after that, Amber Rose re-posted one of Kim Kardashian’s nude photos and addressed the next comment to Kim directly:

And @kimkardashian I don’t know u well but I saw u speak about slut shaming and as u know I’m an activist feminist so it spoke to me. Being Slut shamed and ridiculed is not fun it’s hurtful and mean. Us women deal with it everyday and I’m happy u can speak openly on this now because if anyone knows what it’s like to be Slut Shamed it’s u! Live it Kim! Make a difference and speak on it! Not only when it’s convenient for u but when u can help others. Last year at my Slutwalk I told my Slut shaming story. This year I would love for u to come and tell urs. This is an open invite from me to u and ur sisters are welcomed too ? Let’s let the naysayers know u are so much more then a sex tape (13 years ago) f–k it own it. Ur a mom and a business woman, a wife, sister and daughter. Hope we can make this happen #AmberRoseSlutWalk2016

Even though I just read the word “slut” like fifty times, I feel like this is classy for Amber. As in, this is a classy move. Amber and Kim are sort of friendly these days, after they hashed out their differences/drama last month during Kanye’s Twitter drama. Still, they don’t know each other that well, and I think it’s classy of Amber to step up and defend a woman she barely knows and has every reason to dislike.
