Bette Midler Named Her Chickens After The Kardashians -- Except Kim DIED!

Damn. Bette Midler hasn’t stopped throwing the Kardashians shade ever since Kim Kardashian West posted her nude selfie back in March!
On Wednesday, the iconic 70-year-old revealed in an interview that she actually named some of the chickens on her farm after the famous family…
Well, only to joke that the Kim of her coop died!
Savage!! LOLz!
Speaking at the New York Restoration Project‘s Spring Picnic, she revealed:

“We have the Kardashian sisters, actually, are our chickens. Kim died of a yeast infection. We had to get some different ones.”

Fun fact, chickens can get yeast infections! So, maybe it was less shade and more of a factual statement from Bette, but we can’t help but think Kimmy is gonna be annoyed!
If it makes the reality TV starlet feel any better though, Miz Midler actually tweeted about her Kardashian chickens back in 2011, years before any feud.
Clearly the actress was a fan from the start! Ch-ch-check that throwback tweet (below):

Spent yesterday cleaning out the chicken coop; came out covered in chicken shit. The hens are Kim, Kourtney and Khlo… http://t.co/GBKeD4vE
