MANILA, Philippines – When Kim Kardashian posed nude in a selfie, her colleagues in showbiz like Chloë Grace Moretz and Bette Midler called her out on International Women’s Day, March 8.
Kim responded to these comments by writing about her experience and perspective at length: “I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin. I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me.” (READ: Kim Kardashian pens essay on nude selfie, empowerment on Int’l Women’s Day)
Now, other stars followed Kim’s lead, posting their own “nude selfies.”
Kim’s sister, Kylie Jenner, posted her own selfie, albeit in black underwear:
Emily Ratajkowski took this while she was in Paris for Fashion Week:
British TV personality Sharon Osbourne, the wife of heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne, also posted her own nude selfie on Twitter, saying, “Kim Kardashian, you inspire me!”

Reality TV star Courtney Stodden also put up her own selfie in support of Kim.
Geordie Show star Nathan Henry did his own “remake.”
Some, however, took the opportunity to parody the entire thing.
Ellen posted her own version on Twitter, captioning it: “When you’re like my friend has nothing to wear.” She jokingly explained on her show, “We were having such a great night, and then I spilled some wine on my shirt. I had to change my clothes and take a bath. Then Kim barged in.”
Ellen added, “She just came in, and took her clothes off, and said ‘Let’s take a selfie.'”

Danny Tamberelli, the star of Nickelodeon’s All That and The Adventures of Pete & Pete, replaced the black censor bars with colorful stripes in his nude selfie, and captioned it with the hashtags, “#sorrynotsorry #whoworeitbetter #careerkiller.”
YouTube comedian GLoZell Green, who has superimposed herself on photos of other celebrities in the past, also did the same with Kim’s selfie, captioning it quite aptly: “Who wore nothing best?”
Among Kim’s detractors, Chloë told her on Twitter, ” I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than our bodies.”
Kim addressed this in an essay, saying, “I don’t do drugs, I hardly drink, I’ve never committed a crime – and yet I’m a bad role model for being proud of my body?”
“It’s 2016. The body-shaming and slut-shaming – it’s like, enough is enough. I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me.” – Rappler.com
