They must really be friends now! Amber Rose, who made amends with Kim Kardashian last month, defended the reality star and slammed Pink in an Instagram post on Wednesday, March 9.
Rose, who famously dated Kardashian’s now-husband, Kanye West, from 2008 to 2010, added her voice to the ongoing debate about the reality star’s nude selfie by sharing a screen shot of Pink’s message about women using their bodies for publicity. In it, the “Try” songstress wrote, “Shout out to all of the women, across the world, using their brains, their strength, their work ethic, their talent, their ‘magic’ that they were born with, that only they possess. It may not ever bring you as much ‘attention’ or bank notes as using your body, your sex, your tits and asses, but women like you don’t need that kind of ‘attention.'”
Pink didn’t specifically mention Kardashian in her post, but it was implied by people on Twitter that the singer’s note was aimed at the reality star — and it didn’t sit well with Rose. “Damn Pink,” the model, 32, replied. “We were all born naked society sexualizes our breast and bodies. If a grown mother of 2 is comfortable with her body and wants to show it off that’s none of ur business or anyone else’s. Now, if u wanna talk to kids and be a mentor to young teens, tell them to go to school and to not use their bodies to get ahead?! I’m all for it!”
Rose continued: “But please as a grown woman let another grown woman live as she wishes. That’s our problem! We’re so quick to down each other instead of uplifting!”
The model also implied that Pink was a hypocrite. “Pink, We’ve seen u damn near naked swinging from a rope (Beautifully) but what’s the difference between a rope, a pole and a pic on Instagram? Classism,” Rose wrote. “Because u sing while ur half naked does that make it ‘Classy’ or is it because u have a ‘talent?’ I’m not dissing at all Pink just curious after u said ‘You’ll never have to make a silly excuse for yourself.'”
After years of feuding, Rose and Kardashian made peace last month following West’s ridiculous Twitter tiff with Rose’s ex Wiz Khalifa on February 2, the two memorably shared a photo of themselves chatting over tea.
Other stars to chime in on Kardashian’s nude selfie debate include West, Chloe Grace Moretz, Bella Thorne, Miley Cyrus, Ariel Winter, Chrissy Teigen, Demi Lovato and Kim’s sisters Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian.
Kardashian herself also addressed the contentious situation on Tuesday night. “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?” she wrote on her blog. “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.”
