Kim Kardashian Unveils Controversial Photo Shoot That Nearly Led to Cancellation
Kim Kardashian recently reflected on a controversial photo shoot from 2010, admitting that she “probably should have been canceled” for it. During an appearance on the podcast Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper, she discussed a suggestive shoot with a then-16-year-old Justin Bieber, stating that it may not have been the “most appropriate” concept.
Controversial Photo Shoot Details
The photo shoot took place when Kardashian was 29, and she described the theme as odd. She recalled, “Nothing ever weird was obviously happening… I just think that was like an odd concept.” In the images, Kardashian portrays a flirtatious character akin to Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate, alongside Bieber on a beach.
At the time, Kardashian noted that her oldest child, North, is now just a few years younger than Bieber was during the shoot. She has four children, including North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, with her former partner Kanye West.
Meeting Justin Bieber
The two first met at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Kardashian reminisced about the moment, where they took a photo together. Bieber later posted the image online, jokingly calling Kardashian his girlfriend, a sentiment that garnered significant media attention.
Despite her current feelings about the photo shoot, Kardashian mentioned that there was no inappropriate behavior and highlighted the presence of Bieber’s girlfriend, Selena Gomez, and his parents at the shoot. “I mean, it was like, nothing creepy at all,” she stated.
Reflections and Backlash
While Kardashian acknowledges the photo shoot might raise eyebrows today, she expresses that she has never personally done anything to warrant cancellation. “I’ve never really done anything to be canceled,” she said, emphasizing her stance on past actions, which she feels have been misinterpreted or misunderstood.
As celebrity culture continues to evolve, the way young stars like Bieber were treated during their rise to fame has come under increased scrutiny. Kardashian’s reflections invite discussions on the appropriateness of past artistic choices in the context of today’s standards.
