Kim Kardashian defiantly posts new nude picture after Sharon Osbourne brands her a 'ho'

Earlier this week, Sharon Osbourne shocked her fans when she branded Kim Kardashian a “ho” for regularly posing in the buff.

The scathing comments were particularly shocking coming from Mrs. O as the X Factor judge had previously praised Kim’s nude selfies, even posting her own copycat version of one of Kim’s most famous images last year.

Still, speaking to The Telegraph, Sharon said: “Kim says she’s doing everything in the name of feminism, but that’s not feminism!

“Those girls live off their bodies, half of LA has been through them and everything they do from the sex tape to the plastic see-through dresses and the gym wear is about sex, not female progress.

“If Kim wants to show off her body, fine. But that’s not feminism, that’s being a ho.”

Now Kim has proven that she couldn’t care less about Sharon’s comments, defiantly posting another naked photo to her Instagram page last night.

The mum-of-two has teamed up with fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for their new book, stripping off and climbing a tree for an artistic black and white portrait.

Showing off her toned body, and covering her breasts with two stars to abide by Instagram’s nudity rules, Kim wrote: “So honored to have been photographed by Mert and Marcus for their book new book! 20 years in the making! It’s out Sept 7th.”

Mert also shared the photo to his own social media page, dubbing Kim a “true beauty” – a sentiment that many of her followers appeared to agree with.

The 36-year-old star was widely praised by fans after posting the pics, with many taking to social media to share their response:

Speaking out previously, Kim defended stripping off for the cameras, saying of her infamous nude bathroom selfie: “‘I truly was baffled that people still cared.

“Some people were outraged because I am a mum, some people were so supportive. I just think it looks good, I am really not trying to cause a reaction.”

Sharon has not commented on Kim’s latest escapades.
