The Most Controversial Instagrams Kim Kardashian Has Ever Posted

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to controversies on Instagram. From cultural appropriation accusations to ~scandalous~ nude pictures, the reality star’s Instagram posts are filled with heated and divided comments. Here are all the times she’s been slammed on social media…

1The R-Word
For Kendall Jenner’s Halloween party last year, Kim dressed up in a Pamela Anderson costume. Unfortunately, Kim was upset that younger guests didn’t recognize her look. In an Instagram Story, she told her former assistant Stephanie Shepherd that nobody knew who she was, calling it “r*tarded.”

2Chanel Bikini


Though Kim has posted her fair share of ~scandalous~ photos on IG, this one in particular sparked major controversy. Though fans criticized the mom for posing in this barely-there bikini, Kim was totally feeling herself.

3Full Frontal nude
To promote her KKW Body fragrance, the mogul shared this NSFW nude pic. Since the perfume is in the shape of her real bod, Kim posted this behind-the-scenes pic of her body completely covered in clay.

4North Looks Different
Though Kim has been called out for editing pics of herself, fans thought she took it too far when they noticed this image seemed a little off. Instagram account @fakegirlsfvck posted a comparison between the original paparazzi shot and the one Kim uploaded — in Kim’s version, North’s head and waistline are seemingly smaller.

5″Flat Tummy” Shakes
Kim faced backlash from fans for promoting meal replacement shakes that she claimed helped her get her stomach “back to flat.” The sponsored post is filled with angry comments criticizing the KUWTK star for advertising such dangerous and misleading products.

6Cultural Appropriation
Kim was accused of cultural appropriation when she posted this pic and captioned it “BO WEST,” referring to actress Bo Derek in the movie 10. Fans were angered by Kim giving credit to a white actress, rather than to her Fulani-style braids, a traditionally black hairstyle.

7Blackface Allegations
When Kim unveiled campaign pics for her KKW Beauty Classic Collection, followers immediately noticed that her skin appeared darker than normal. The comments section was filled with users accusing Kim of blackface. This isn’t the first time Kim has been under fire for this.


8Another Weight Loss Ad
Last May, Kim was slammed again for promoting appetite-suppressing lollipops. Shortly after the backlash, Instagram mistakenly removed the post, but the pic of Kim sucking on a lollipop was quickly restored onto the platform. Fans were not happy with the selfie queen.

9Photoshop Fail
Unlike any other Kardashian photoshop fails, fans were confused by this pic, where it appears Kim made her butt look smaller. In this photo from a KKW Beauty campaign, the belfie star’s butt seems noticably smaller than usual. Is it the angle or is it Photoshop?

10North In Red Lipstick
When the mother of three posted this adorable family pic from their annual holiday party, the Internet couldn’t stop talking about North’s red lipstick. From mommy-shaming Kim for letting Northie rock a red lip, to praising the child for her bold lip choice, fans were truly divided.
