A Must Read: Kim K on Nudity

On Sunday, Kim Kardashian posted a photograph of herself naked, save for two carefully placed censor bars on her Instagram account. A Twitterstorm then ensued, in which a wide range of celebrities both praised and berated Kim’s use of nudity and shared their ideas of what she should and should not be promoting on her social media platforms—calling into question her morals, amongst other things.

At CR, there’s not much holding back, so the thought of being offended by nudity seems both absurd and outdated. In our world, being naked doesn’t always equate to being sexual, but if it does, that can be a good thing too. The point being: We aim to celebrate bodies in their most natural state as honestly as possible, without the need to ever issue an apology. Many images that we work hard to create contain nudity and Carine herself has been known to pose nude for a photo or two too.

Today, Kim shared a powerful post on her website, in which she articulately explained why she’s not willing to feel ashamed for feeling proud and comfortable in her body and how she hopes that all women can come to same place of self-love and acceptance.

Read Kim’s message below:

I never understand why people get so bothered by what other people choose to do with their lives.

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?

It always seems to come back around to my sex tape. Yes, a sex tape that was made 13 years ago. 13 YEARS AGO. Literally that lonnng ago. And people still want to talk about it?!?!

I lived through the embarrassment and fear, and decided to say who cares, do better, move on. I shouldn’t have to constantly be on the defense, listing off my accomplishments just to prove that I am more than something that happened 13 years ago.

Let’s move on, already. I have.

I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. 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. And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.

I am empowered by my husband, who is so accepting and supportive and who has given me a newfound confidence in myself. He allows me to be me and loves me unconditionally.

I feel so lucky to have grown up surrounded by strong, driven, independent women. The life lessons I’ve learned from my sisters, my mother and my grandmother, I will pass along to my daughter. I want her to be proud of who she is. I want her to be comfortable in her body. I don’t want her to grow up in a world where she is made to feel less-than for embracing everything it means to be a woman.

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.
