A heated debate began after Kim Kardashian posted a photo of herself on Instagram, sparking criticism from celebrities like Chloë Grace Moretz and Pink, while others, including Amber Riley and Abigail Breslin, defended her.
Sharon Osbourne, a talk show host and reality TV personality, shared her own photo in reference to the debate surrounding Kim Kardashian's post. Osbourne tweeted,

She captioned the photo with 'You inspired me!' and tagged her program, The Talk.
Ellen DeGeneres also responded to Kim Kardashian's post by Photoshopping herself into the original selfie, joking, 'When you're like my friend has nothing to wear.'
Following criticism, Kim Kardashian wrote on her blog, saying ' enough is enough ' and questioning why she was seen as a bad role model for 'being proud of my body.' She stated,
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.
