Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has defended herself against backlash over her recent nude Instagram photos. The 35-year-old "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star took to her website, kimkardashianwest.com, to pen an essay about her frustration with the media and "body shaming" phenomena. "In all seriousness, I never understand why people get so bothered by what other people choose to do with their lives," Kim wrote. "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?"

The mother of two got backlashes from celebrities like Chloe Moretz and Bette Midler after she posted a nude selfie on her Instagram account. Kim said she believed that women could be empowered by different things and she was confident to show off her body. "I am empowered by my body... 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," she added.

Kim still had a lot of people who supported her. She noted in her essay that she was grateful to be surrounded by people who loved her, especially her husband Kanye West. Celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Abigail Breslin, Ariel Winter and Bella Thorne then chimed in to defend the star. Kim ended her post by writing, "It's 2016. The body-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. On International Women's Day, reality star Kim Kardashian put up a picture with a link to her website wishing everyone International Women's Day. She tweeted: "Happy International Women's Day" while tweeting a nude selfie. 

She also wrote: "What I can't believe people thought Kanye or Khloe hacked my Twitter. I swear I am funny too."

Kim Kardashian took to Twitter on Women's Day to put a black and white picture with the words: Liberated. 

 

Earlier, reality TV star Kim Kardashian West has gone completely nude in a selfie. Kardashian, 35, shared the photograph with 60 million followers on Twitter. "When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL," she captioned the mirror photo of herself.  She edited black bars into the photo to cover her modesty. Kardashian, sporting blonde hair, wore only a serious expression in the photo, seemingly taken in a bathroom. The mother of two's light locks suggest that the photo might not be recent. She was spotted with a blonde wig during New York Fashion Week last month. She also sported platinum locks in Paris last spring

Kim slammed for selfies 

 When the internet has gone smoky with Kim Kardashian’s latest NFSW selfie, Bette Midler said she needs to shallow the camera to let the people see something they haven’t seen before. ‘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,’ tweeted the 70-year-old songstress in reaction to Kim’s naked photo, which was posted on March 6, reports People Magazine. While there was positive fan commentary, some celebrities expressed their disdain over the naked pic of the mother of two.

Chloe Grace Moretz took to Twitter, criticizing the 35-year-old reality star over the message she may be sending to young female followers. ‘@KimKardashian I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than- [their bodies],’ the actress wrote. Moretz added: ‘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.’
