First Kim Kardashian West was accused of trying to steal Kylie Jenner‘s thunder by debuting her own beauty line — and now she’s under fire for supposed blackface in her new ad campaign!
On Wednesday, the 36-year-old reality star shared her promotional photo for KKW Beauty to social media (above), and it didn’t take long before people started calling her out for seemingly darkening her skin.
People are still doing this?! Oof.

It’s important to note Kimmie’s initial tweet debuting the controversial pic was deleted and then shared again later. Unclear why.
Take a look at Twitter‘s accusations (below)!

Kim K did blackface. Which is why she deleted her tweet. But I won’t get into that bc I know how delusional her Black & non Black stans are.

Who put Kim K in blackface for her ad?
Why is she 100 years late with a contour kit?

How did a team of PR people all look at the photo of Kim in blackface and then tell her to post it AND make it her avi?
