Kim Kardashian Draws Attention To Her Behind For SKIMS Collection
The hustle doesn’t stop for reality television star Kim Kardashian as the 39-year-old posted revealing photos of herself to push the latest products of her SKIMS collection.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Kardashian took to the SKIMS Instagram page to post a number of photos of herself with her backside prominently displayed while wearing a SKIMS thong and crop top. One shot had her face down on a white-sand beach, while another had her sitting up and showing off her tiny waist.
Both photos had captions selling the product, claiming it was designed for “an invisible look and feel.” The post also promises that the fabric SKIMS is made of is “silky smooth” and that it “clings and molds” to the wearer’s body. The post also promised free shipping for orders that are over $75.
Fortunately for Kardashian, there doesn’t seem to be as much outrage with this post as there was with her fragrance launch. As reported by the Mirror, the launch for the perfume collaboration, KKWxKRIS, sparked outrage online, as social media branded the move “tone-deaf.”
Netizens did not take kindly to Kardashian selling a $40 perfume in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, especially since there are now 1,353,361 confirmed cases of the coronavirus around the world, according to the latest World Health Organization situation report. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is now at 395,011 people. The number of deaths caused by the coronavirus is now at 12,754.
People lambasted Kardashian on Twitter, with one condemning her boundless “love of money” and “shameless” promotion. Another user said that people were more worried about buying food to feed their family or the possibility of losing their homes.
The Mirror claims that the negativity online prompted Kardashian to include a charitable aspect to the launch, saying that sales of KKWxKRIS from Apr. 15 to May 15 will have 20 percent of it donated to charitable organization, Blessings in a Backpack. The group provides food for children that have gone hungry because of the school closures brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
That online drubbing came after another online altercation Kardashian found herself involved in. Kardashian found herself in a feud with Taylor Swift once again when a 25-minute video began circulating online that seemed to show that Kardashian was not being entirely honest about the 2016 spat she and her husband Kanye West had with the “Reputation” singer.
