Dry your eyes, Kim Kardashian: You're a modern-day Mona Lisa!

On Sunday's episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Kim, 30, burst into tears over her naked pictorial spread in W Magazine -- claiming she was misled, she moaned that the pics were "full-on porn."

But W mag sees it differently. On Tuesday, a rep for the fashion bible told fashion blog The Cut:

"In keeping in line with the theme of W Magazine's November Art Issue, Kim Kardashian's cover was conceived as an artistic collaboration with well-known artist Barbara Kruger, and was a meditation on the influence that reality TV has on contemporary culture."

Praising the E! star's cultural influence, the W rep continued: "The inside portfolio documented the career and power of Kim Kardashian as a work of art, using the language of artists like Jeff Koons ... and Gilbert & George."

Kim's complaint about the photos: "The whole concept was sold to me that nothing would be seen." Threatened the star: "I'm never taking my clothes off again, even if it's for Vogue."

    ROTFL! She puts on fake tears and everyone runs out to buy the magazine. Kim is laughing all the way to the bank right about now. Genius!

    Anytime you pose with your close off, and you're supposedly a celebrity, be prepared for them to show up ANYWHERE! Get over yourself and deal with the choices you make in life!

    lol @ 6:19pm Laquia who thinks people are calling her a who.re for THESE pics ha, I'm pretttttttty sure they're referring to her selling her PORN tape to get some grubby fame, ewww i feel like i need a shower after i look at her yuck

    Oh poor me poor me!!!!!! shes always playing the victim.... surely is shes a intelligent as she tells us she would have asked to see the proof of what the magazine were going to do and approve it before it published??? please she runs around in bikins making sure the paps are told so she gets pd for the photos and hello!!! the bikinis she wear make her look naked anyways so its not like the whole world hasnt seen her rack and shes the one who manufactured it that way.... get over yourself Kardashian....if you cant take the heat get your hired help out of the damn kitchen....

    i think her reaction was a bit overboard,u take ur clothes off then get angry that they showed u naked? how does that make sense? thats just like the whole ray j situation, u willingly make a sex tape then get furious when it gets out, how about u have a little more caution with the action u take as a woman let alone your career. i think kim is a sweetheart but not very bright

    So because her boyfriend at the time sold the sex tape they made she is ho. But I guess Ray J is ok. Stop hating. If you don't care about her stop commenting on websites, watching her shows, and reading magazines with her on it. You all make her relevant. She capitalized on bad situation.

    art work???

  • February 02, 2011 - 12:26am Jennifer Merritt-Frisbee

    She should be happy a magazine like W. would even find her relavant! She became famous for a sex tape and playboy, I think most everyone has seen her with less clothes on than in this magazine, she should stop complaining and be happy for the un-derserved fame she has!

    it really is very very sad...pitiful actually...not so bright and all they have to depend on is their (her) looks...these pics came out a long time ago and were posted all over the internet...the word over exposed has a deeper more intense meaning now and i'm not talking about the nudity...sad, really really sad...

  • February 01, 2011 - 10:59pm Nicole Stewart

    Crying like we haven't seen her naked a million other times. Is she serious?????

  • February 01, 2011 - 10:44pm Krystal Donnise

    Sob sob. Get over it honey. You took your clothes off. Willingly. So stop complaining.

  • February 01, 2011 - 10:32pm Pauline Berndsen Gervais

    why does everyone always hate on kim shes beautiful (ok maybe to much botox but wtv) and shes sweet. n kourtney and kim take ny is a really fun show to watch

  • February 01, 2011 - 9:38pm Plumb Annie

    I'd like to know who really thinks she has a "HOT" body? No way. I like her, but her body is completely out of proportion. Secondly, why is "W" apologizing for not keeping their word?

  • February 01, 2011 - 9:27pm Amy Campbell

    give me a break! like she didnt know! All her photo shoots are with minimal dress or cloths SO tight you can see everything. @ Carla there is nothing being said that isn't true. And no, there arent those of us who would want to walk in her shoes. Speak for yourself.

  • February 01, 2011 - 9:02pm Marlene Lira Marrero

    gosh...does this girl ever leave her clothes on...sick of her!!

  • February 01, 2011 - 8:30pm Lidya Annie Colón-Acevedo

    Goes to show you how quick it is to undress her. Ha just say you are from a magazine and tell her a "concept" at least you know if nothing else you will have naked pics of her.

  • February 01, 2011 - 6:53pm Cory Mcgruder

    If Kim Kardashian ever has children, her children will be EMBARRASSED to have her as a mother.

  • February 01, 2011 - 6:37pm Fortune McLemore

    Well, Kim, if you don't like these kinds of pictures, don't pose for them. Simple as that.

  • February 01, 2011 - 6:19pm Laquia Nicole Burt

    lol. People are calling her a wh0re because she posed nude for a magazine? Ummm...just because YOU wouldn't or couldn't do it doesn't mean Kim's a wh0re. hahahaha. Silly girls.
