We have so much to say about Kim Kardashian’s fame-courting and life choices, not to mention her garish relationship with Kanye West which reduces us to tears of rage on a regular basis. But the truth is, the internet would be a very boring and, dare I say it, lonely place without Kim filling all the voids for us. So here is just a small collection of some of her most controversial moments:
1. Paper Magazine.
Let’s face it, a magazine cover with the hashtag #breaktheinternet was never going to go down lightly. But when we saw the realities of Kim Kardashian’s Paper Magazine photoshoot, which included but was not limited to a full-frontal nude picture, we were truly and utterly shocked. Ok we get it Kim; you’d just had a baby and wanted to show off your amazing body but you do now have to pay attention to certain things… like your kids potentially receiving a torrent of abuse over it when they go to school. Nevertheless, this spurned a whole lot more naked shoots and selfies, which are still coming think and fast. She must have gotten a taste for it!

2. Filing for divorce from Kris Humphries after 72 days.
This one was never going to be easy for anyone to live down, let alone the most ‘Googled’ person in the US, but I guess if things ain’t right you’ve got to do something about it, right Kim?

3. Vampire Facials.
It’s still so hard to believe that Kim Kardashian allowed a surgeon to inject her face with viles of her own blood on live TV but, alas, it’s true. Not only this, but the surgeon who undertook the procedure is also now backlogged with appointments, undoubtedly from Kim’s avid followers. What is the world coming to?

4. Announcing she was dating Kanye West.
After 9 years of friendship, Kim finally announced in the spring of 2012 that she was dating Kanye West and, unsurprisingly as you can imagine, the internet went into meltdown. Then came December of that same year when they announced they were expecting their first child together and their fans just didn’t know what to do with themselves.

5. Letting Kanye West choose her outfits.
There are a lot of people who’d say that Kim Kardashian’s taste in clothes left a lot to be desired before she got together with Kanye West. But… she has arguably received a great deal more criticism since letting him take over all decision-making when it comes to her wardrobe.

6. Calling her daughter North West.
…and then, more recently in 2015, calling her son Saint West. These people just can’t seem to choose a nice normal name, can they?

7. Going naked in Kanye West’s music video.
After vowing to take a more private approach to her relationships, we were rather confusingly subjected to a naked Kim and a very OTT display of affection between her and Kanye in his music video for ‘Bound 2’, released in 2013.

8. Landing the cover of Vogue.
There are not a lot of people that can charm US Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, but Kim and Kanye must have managed it somehow in 2014 when they managed to score themselves a front cover. Judging by her reaction on TV show Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kim was over the moon with her achievement but sadly the fashion world did not share her joy, branding it a tasteless move by Anna Wintour.

9. Dressing her daughter in fur.
I don’t think there are many people out there who’ll disagree that dressing a child in real fur is completely unacceptable in this day and age. Especially since the little one is too young to defend herself against all the activists who were up in arms. Bad move Kim, really bad move.

10. The tape…
Ok, as much as we’ve tried to detract, we couldn’t make a list of Kim Kardashian’s most controversial –‘internet-breaking’ moments without including the incident that shot her to such mega-fame in the first place: the sex tape she made with Ray J in 2003. But she’s got to be the only woman in the world who actually managed to turn this into a good thing, judging by the gargantuan success that was to follow. Still, here’s hoping that nobody will be casting her as a role model for this kind of behaviour.
