​Kim Kardashian Sparks Controversy (Again) By Getting North To Take Topless Photo Of Her

​Kim Kardashian Sparks Controversy (Again) By Getting North To Take Topless Photo Of Her

The post soon racked up a fair few likes, but it wasn't long before others stepped in to criticise the slightly weird setup.

Kim Kardashian has sparked controversy once again - though this time she's roped in four-year-old daughter North.

The mum-of-three posted a photo on Instagram of her basically topless, proudly captioning the post to say that the snap had been taken by North, who can be seen in the reflection of the mirror.

The post soon racked up a fair few likes - including from Emily Ratajkowski and, of course, the Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner - but it wasn't long before others stepped in to criticise the slightly weird setup.

One user commented: "So now your daughter is taking the provocative photos for you to post? Why Kim?? Seriously you are her role model. There's so much good and beautiful about you and your family. Why cheapen it? You don't need to."

Another wrote: "Instead of getting your daughter involved in your narcissistic tendencies, why don't you take your kids to the park, the beach etc..?? I feel sorry for your kids. SMH".

One person said, sarcastically: "Oh isn't that great....parenting at its finest."

"Why did you do that Kimmy? I thought you are a good mom, but now.. Isn't cool," another said.

The photo also stirs up awkward memories of the time when Kris Jenner was seen showering Kim in praise during a sultry nearly-nude photoshoot on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. As her daughter writhed around in nothing but a big necklace, Kris squeals at her: "Kim, you're doing amazing sweetie!"

Naturally, it's been the stuff of meme gold ever since, and isn't dissimilar to the scene in Mean Girls when Amy Poehler's interfering mother barges into her daughter's room, asking if her and her boyfriend need anything: "Some snacks? A Condom?"

And apparently it's not the first time Kim's little tyke has meddled with her social media. Back in 2015 she claimed the then-two-year-old North posted a photo 'while playing games on my phone' - that particular photo being one of a younger Kim in nothing but a sequinned gold bikini.

It's not too much of a surprise, then, that the reality TV stalwart was recently voted the world's most annoying celebrity. In the Ranker survey, she stood heads and shoulders (and arse) above all the rest - with husband Kanye not far behind in third place.

Kris Jenner, unsurprisingly, also featured, and came in at a not-so-respectable ninth place.
