Kim Kardashian was genuinely upset/thirsty about the reaction she got to her nude Instagram photos this week. Personally, I think Kim always loves the attention, good or bad, and of course she posted her nude photos to get a reaction. And Kim has always gotten insults and shade too, so I’m not entirely sure why the insults and Twitter comments were suddenly her breaking point this week, but whatever. After she threw some clapbacks on Twitter, Kim wrote an essay on her subscription app about everything that went down and how she’s proud of her body.
Hey, guys. I wanted to write a post elaborating on my tweets last night. In all seriousness, I never understand why people get so bothered by what other people choose to do with their lives. I don’t do drugs, I hardly drink, I’ve never committed a crime—and yet I’m a bad role model for being proud of my body?
It always seems to come back around to my sex tape. Yes, a sex tape that was made 13 years ago. 13 YEARS AGO. Literally that lonnng ago. And people still want to talk about it?!?! I lived through the embarrassment and fear, and decided to say who cares, do better, move on. I shouldn’t have to constantly be on the defense, listing off my accomplishments just to prove that I am more than something that happened 13 years ago.
Let’s move on, already. I have.
I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin. I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me. And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.
I am empowered by my husband, who is so accepting and supportive and who has given me a newfound confidence in myself. He allows me to be me and loves me unconditionally.
I feel so lucky to have grown up surrounded by strong, driven, independent women. The life lessons I’ve learned from my sisters, my mother and my grandmother, I will pass along to my daughter. I want her to be proud of who she is. I want her to be comfortable in her body. I don’t want her to grow up in a world where she is made to feel less-than for embracing everything it means to be a woman.
It’s 2016. The body-shaming and slut-shaming—it’s like, enough is enough. I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me. I am a mother. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entrepreneur and I am allowed to be sexy. #happyinternationalwomensday

Various celebrities were supporting Kim on Twitter now too, like Emily Ratajkowski and Rowan Blanchard. I agree with the argument of “you do you, it’s none of my business.” Like, so Kim is posting nudes? Who really cares? It’s her body, her business. If she wants to feel sexy and confidant, God bless. What I still don’t understand is why Kim suddenly chose this week to manufacture this controversy?
