Kim Kardashian is feuding again, this time with model Tyson Beckford.
The reality TV star clapped back at Tyson after he allegedly body-shamed her on Instagram, and we know those battles usually spiral out of control pretty rapidly.
Here’s NewsAU:
Model Beckford, 47, sparked a social-media beef with the reality starlet when he commented on an Instagram photo of her, that was later captured by The Shade Room, heading into Jimmy Kimmel’s studio.
Here’s the picture that set the wheels in motion:
Tyson remarked, “Sorry I don’t care for it personally,” … “She is not real, doctor f**ked up on her right hip”.
Tyson accused Kim of botched plastic surgery, something that the 37-year-old Kim claims never to have undergone. She responded with “Sis we all know why you don’t care for it” – a comment that has received mixed reviews from fans.
Some have praised her, whilst others are accusing her of homophobia. UsWeekly breaks it down:
Some commenters came to Kardashians defense writing things like, “You should love a natural woman, I applaud that. An unnatural body isn’t my preference either but as a man you made yourself look bad for coming at a woman the way you did lol @tysoncbeckford.”
Another added: “Fake or not why he on here disrespecting someone else’s wife … Like your opinion was not needed. Why even speak on someone else’s wife …”
And on team Tyson:
“Kim is not even remotely funny. Not sure why she would insinuate Tyson is gay just because he said her hips are lopsided,” one follower chimed in.
Beckford later retweeted a commenter who got in on the action on Twitter writing, “Just because @TysonCBeckford doesn’t find your plastic ass attractive @KimKardashian doesn’t make him gay.”
The media is being super helpful to Tyson’s cause, pointing out that Tyson has had multiple female partners, and a 20-year-old son, and therefore couldn’t possibly be gay.
No one seems to have noticed that assuming ‘gay’ is an insult is homophobic in and of itself. Kim hasn’t responded to the accusations of homophobia, and Tyson is defending his body shaming.
