Hold on to your hairpieces, bitches, Hollywood is at war. And it’s looking ugly!
Reality star Kim Kardashian has launched an attack on actresses Bette Midler and Chloe Grace Moretz after they dared to comment on her attention-seeking nude pictures that she posted on social media this week.
Amused (and appalled?) by the reality star’s attempt to make headlines, singing and acting legend Bette hilariously tweeted, with tongue firmly in cheek: ‘Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera.’
Missing the humour in the post, Kim lashed back at the talented legend, whose career has spanned over 50 years:
hey @BetteMidler I know it's past your bedtime but if you're still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding

hey @BetteMidler I really didn't want to bring up how you sent me a gift awhile back trying to be a fake friend then come at me #dejavu

Shortly after that, uber talented actress Chloe Moretz joined the fray and retweeted Bette’s comment and raised the very valid point that high profile ‘role models’ such as Kim should think twice about posting nude snaps, commenting: ‘I truly hope you realise how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies.’
Ignoring the empowering sentiment behind the comment (and seemingly unaware that her fanbase is made up of young girls and dirty old men), Kim, who found fame after appearing in a sex tape, responded with a snipey tweet: ‘let’s all welcome @chloegMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo’.
Kardashian’s army of fans were quick to accuse Chloe of ‘slut-shaming’ the reality star, to which she calmly and eloquently replied:
There's a huge difference in respecting the platform that you're given as a celebrity and "slut shaming" something I never have done and –

– would never do

Kim, whose show Keeping Up With The Kardashians attracts an average of 200k viewers in the UK, went on to brazenly tweet a message which implied she’d paid off her husband Kanye’s supposed $53 million debts.
sorry I'm late to the party guys I was busy cashing my 80 million video game check & transferring 53 million into our joint account 🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰

Then, in case we hadn’t seen it all already, Kim posted yet ANOTHER naked photo online with the hashtag ‘#liberated.’

Then Piers Morgan stepped into the spat and wittily replied to the post about her having no clothes to wear: ‘I know the old man’s $50 million in debt, Kim – but this is absurd. Want me to but you some clothes?’

Kim, clearly missing the humour, scolded: ‘Never offer to buy a married woman clothes. thats on some ashley madison [a dating website for married people seeking affairs] type shit.’

Wow! Some battle, right? We never thought Kim had it in her. Or was it angry Kanye who got a hold of her phone? Who knows, but we love a good Hollywood bitchfest! Miaow!
So what do you think about Kim Kardashian’s reaction to Bette, Chloe and Piers’ comments? Whose side are you on?
Are you one of the very few viewers who watch the show in the UK?
Do you understand why she is a global phenomenon?
Hell, have you ever heard her speak?
Do you agree with Bette, Chloe and Piers?
