Whether you love her or hate her, Kim Kardashian is a crusader for body empowerment and sexual liberation. After posting a nude selfie, that in a very Kardashian fashion was super sexy, she received a lot of hate from some celebrities. Having had enough with the twitter hate, she took to her website to write a poignant essay about her body and sexuality.

“I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality.” she wrote. She believes that through the opportunities she has been given she has been able to show women that they should be empowered through their bodies, and not ashamed. That fierceness has been inspirational or at least defensible to some, but not for others. In a sadly predictable chain of events, Kardashian’s selfie has sparked some very tired controversy.  

Here is a roundup of her supporters and her detractors, starting with the people against the nude mother:

Against:

The latest body-shaming comments come from Pierce Morgan, who took to twitter this morning to defend himself:

I like @KimKardashian but if you blast out naked selfies to 41 million strangers, they’re perfectly entitled to comment. Men AND women.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 9, 2016

So @KimKardashian body-fames 41m people with nude selfie tweets but if anyone dares pass critical comment we’re ‘body-shaming’? Comical.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 9, 2016

I know the old man’s $50 million in debt, Kim – but this is absurd.
Want me to buy you some clothes? https://t.co/hEA9osB2QF

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 7, 2016

Kardashian responded:

hey @piersmorgan never offer to buy a married woman clothes. thats on some ashley madison type shit #forresearch

Bette Midler, seems to be the first one who sparked the twitter backlash with this tweet: 

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.

— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) March 7, 2016

Kardashian jokingly replied to the Midler with:

hey @BetteMidler I know it’s past your bedtime but if you’re still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding

— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) March 8, 2016

Chloë Grace Moritz tweeted shortly after Midler, saying: 

@KimKardashian I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than-

— Chloë Grace Moretz (@ChloeGMoretz) March 7, 2016

In the best clap-back that has been made into some incredible memes, Kardashian replied: 

let’s all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo

— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) March 8, 2016

Although, there has been some predictably hateful body-shaming comments, many of her fellow friends and celebs have come to her defense. 

The Supporters:

Ariel Winter pointed out the ridiculous double-standard women face:

No one was body shaming @justinbieber when he posted his nude guitar photo so why @KimKardashian? #herbodyherchoice#InternationalWomensDay

— Ariel Winter (@arielwinter1) March 8, 2016

I think everyone, men and women, should have the right to choose what they do with their bodies– and not be criticized.

— Ariel Winter (@arielwinter1) March 8, 2016

Bella Thorne pointed out the obvious: 

.@chloemoretz_@KimKardashian I think every woman should be allowed to make their own choices with their OWN bodies soo..

— bella thorne (@bellathorne) March 8, 2016

Rowan Blanchard gave twitter a brief art history lesson:

Girls being nude publicly isn’t new:but isn’t it nice when they can be the subject of the image, &the portrayer too? pic.twitter.com/7Ac07O8U6l

— Rowan Blanchard (@rowblanchard) March 8, 2016

Miley Cyrus asked everyone to call it quits: 

Dear women, you ALL are acting tacky AF! Why don’t we overly (myself included) fortunate women come together and try to create and bring jobs to other women in desperate need of them so they can support not only THEMSELVES but their families! #happyinternationalwomensday can we all put the cuntiness aside for one fucking day and love / celebrate one another! PS no matter how hard you (or myself) work NEVER will I feel I am worthy of the comfort I live in…. Because so many others while I tuck myself in at night are laying their head on the pavement, dreaming of all the things we take for granted every day. Much love to all my women!!!!

And even Amber Rose stuck up for Kardashian after Pink seemed to have chimed into the conversation:

Damn Pink we were all born naked society sexualizes our breast and bodies. If a grown mother of 2 is comfortable with her body and wants to show it off that’s none of ur business or anyone else’s. Now, if u wanna talk to kids and be a mentor to young teens, tell them to go to school and to not use their bodies to get ahead?! I’m all for it! But please as a grown woman let another grown woman live as she wishes. That’s our problem! We’re so quick to down each other instead of uplifting! Pink, We’ve seen u damn near naked swinging from a rope( Beautifully) but what’s the difference between a rope, a pole and a pic on Instagram? Classism. Because u sing while ur half naked does that make it “Classy” or is it because u have a “talent”? I’m not dissing at all Pink just curious after u said “You’ll never have to make a silly excuse for yourself”.

As Kardashian so eloquently put in her essay “It’s 2016. The body-shaming and slut-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. I am a mother. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entrepreneur and I am allowed to be sexy.”
