Kim K may have been criticized by half the world for
posing completely nude for Paper magazine, but there's
someone who has her back and has written a piece to
support her. British journalist, TV host and Editor-at-
Large of MailOnline, Piers Morgan says all Kim 'haters'
can kiss her ass because she has done nothing wrong.
See what he wrote, which was first published on UK
Daily Mail, below
The tweet crashed into my feed like a teasing
tornado. ‘You can’t un-see this: Kim Kardashian
shows off her famous backside,’ it read.
For once, the tease more than lived up to its
promise. As with Man landing on the Moon,
Mandela walking free from his prison cell, and
Derek Jeter’s winning hit in his last game at
Yankee Stadium - it was a photograph that will be
forever etched in the memory.
I clicked on the link – how could any red-blooded male
NOT click on that link? – and there she was, butt
naked and balancing a champagne glass on same said
butt, splashed across the front cover of PAPER
magazine with the headline: ‘BREAK THE INTERNET,
KIM KARDASHIAN’.
Which is exactly what she nearly did as the startled
world scrambled to view, disseminate, debate and
deliberate over the single most examined and infamous
derriere in history. (A bold claim, but think about it and
I’m right).
Predictably, the abuse and ridicule began to pour in as
fast as the gasps of shock, awe and admiration.
Ms Kardashian-West was apparently a ‘slut’, a ‘terrible
mom’, a ‘disgrace to the human race,’ ‘a dumb, trashy
b***h’ etc.
Of course, she’s heard it all before, ever since that sex
tape was leaked and propelled her into the kind of
instant, gigantic cyberspace notoriety that can either
crush a woman or make her so strong and impervious
to criticism that she builds a $1 billion brand.
Kim’s in the latter category and people hate her for it.
They resent her global fame, her immense wealth, her
marriage to one of the world’s most brilliant music
icons. Above all, they loathe her resolute refusal to bow
to all the bitter venom that spews its way in her
direction.
It’s time for me to make a shocking admission: I like
and admire Kim Kardashian-West.
I interviewed her soon after I joined CNN and found her
to be a warm, unpretentious, honest and rather
charming young lady.
When I mockingly asked her to name a single talent she
possessed, she smiled knowingly and made no attempt
to cite one.
But then she thought about it more and said: ‘Actually,
I think being an entrepreneur is a skill, marketing is a
skill, and so is fashion designing. My sisters and I are
smart enough to understand that having a successful
reality TV show is just a platform for people to get to
know us on a personal level.
‘But for us, we’ve always been about the business –
selling our fragrances, shoe lines, clothes. And we’ve
always been about hard work.’
As for her roundly condemned status as a role model,
she told me with calm conviction: ‘I think I promote a
healthy, natural body image.’
She admitted to using Botox, Spanx and the odd piece
of masking tape to aid the daunting red carpet process.
But she insisted she’d never had plastic surgery, and
was happy and confident with how she looks.
I have studied her face close up and seen nothing to
contradict this; Kim’s a natural beauty.
She also revealed she gives away 10% of her income to
charity. That, as you can imagine, is a lot of money.
In a stunning illustration of her power, I ended the
interview by asking her to look down the camera and
order her Twitter followers to follow me. They did, over
60,000 of them in 20 minutes.
Since then, I’ve met her a few more times at parties.
She’s always exactly the same – friendly, chatty, and
completely lacking in the searing insincerity and
delusions of grandeur that so many stars with ‘real
talent’ exude.
There’s also an absurd hypocrisy with regard to which
female celebrities are allowed to bare their flesh
without criticism.
When Keira Knightley stripped topless recently, she
explained it was strictly to make a protest against air-
brushing. Hmmm.
When Rihanna, Madonna or Beyonce gyrate their
booties on stage, it’s done in the name of ‘art’.
When all the supermodels got their kit off for PETA, it
was excused under the banner of ‘helping the animals’ .
When Demi Moore posed naked and pregnant, it was
applauded, not castigated, because she’s a great
actress and the photo appeared on the cover of
prestigious Hollywood bible, Vanity Fair.
When Chelsea Handler does it, which seems to be every
day at the moment to diminishing laws of aesthetic
return, it’s heralded as ‘comedy genius’.
But when Kim Kardashian-West does it, in a photo
session conducted by highly acclaimed French
photographer Jean-Paul Goude, she is lambasted.
She’s 5ft 3in, has spectacular curves in all the wrong
places if you’re a Size Zero catwalk star, and can’t
sing, dance, act, paint or play the violin.
Yet she survives and thrives because millions of young
people around the world find her both real and someone
they can relate to. They appreciate that she’s got a
very smart eye for business, fashion, television and
social media. And an even smarter eye for self-publicity
and nurturing her brand.
Kim doesn’t take drugs, get drunk, fall out of clubs,
cheat on her man, or do any of the other insanely
louche things that stars with far greater ‘talent’ often
do.
She works ridiculously hard, is good to her fans, and is
by all accounts a good, loving daughter, sister, wife
and now mom herself.
She was also, lest we forget, pursued, wooed, and won
by a genius who professes (and I believe him) to love
Kim for her mind as much as her coveted body.
Kanye West’s reaction to this wife’s latest controversial
cover photo was to simply tweet this: #ALLDAY.
We knew what he meant.
Oh, and nobody can call her talentless any more either.
As she herself tweeted: ‘And they say I don’t have
talent – try balancing a champagne glass on your ass!
LOL.’
I laughed out loud at that comment, just as I did when
I first saw these new photos. She’s a cheeky little minx
at the top of her game.
Kim Kardashian-West’s laughing all the way to the
bank. And all you lazy, snide, snobbish, patronising and
hypocritical critics can go kiss her ass – there’s plenty
of room.

All in defense of Mrs. West. And something in this piece should be a take home for some

"Of course, she’s heard it all before, ever since that sex tape was leaked and propelled her into the kind of instant, gigantic cyberspace notoriety that can either crush a woman or make her so strong and impervious to criticism that she builds a $1 billion brand."

"Above all, they loathe her resolute refusal to bow to all the bitter venom that spews its way in her direction."

You either get crushed or you hold your head high and keep your eyes on your destination. They'll hate you the more but just keep moving. I might not be a fan of Mrs. West but the gang up is unfair.

well said. she's unbreakable

Im definitely not a fan of Kim. I doubt I will ever be, but after reading Morgan's piece, I guess I should cut her some slack. Kind of like I did with P-Square.

Excellent piece by Pierce Morgan. I've never really understood the rationale behind the widespread hate on Mrs. West. It seems a fashionable thing nowadays, ironically by people who are considerably worse in every possible way imagined. She made a sëx tape with a man she happened to be in a relationship with at the time, and somehow, she's a slut because of that? Lots of girls make sex tapes with their partners and even non-partners alike every day. But because Kim consequently became famous and rich, she seems to somehow deserve a special kind of hate? Smh.

Really impressed with this article. Warning to those who judge people unnecessarily.

Lol are you minding them
