Piers Morgan has once again lashed out at Kim Kardashian over a photo she posted on social media, this time characterizing Kardashian as “pathetic & creepy.”
British media personality Morgan tore into Kardashian on Thursday over the photo, which Kardashian posted on her Instagram account.
“Kim Kardashian now posting topless photos of herself taken by her 4-yr-old daughter. Pathetic & creepy,” Morgan fumed.
“Topless” might be a bit of a stretch — the photo depicts Kardashian facing a mirror while wearing an unclasped bra. A second person and a photo flash can be seen in the mirror’s reflection.
“[Camera icon] by North,” Kardashian captioned the photo, presumably a reference to her four-year-old daughter with her husband, rapper Kanye West.
The comments section of Kardashian’s Instagram post also saw a fair share of critics weighing in. While a number of commenters suggested that the second figure in the photo was too tall to be just four years old, there were also plenty of responders who expressed their outrage.
“This is creepy and exploitation of your child. What’s wrong with you?” wrote one critic.
Another wrote that the photo “is NOT cute or funny at all…this is sad.”
“This is too far Kim… Your young daughter should not be taking these kinds of photos for you. It’s okay to have these kind of pictures but your daughter should not be taking them,” another detractor weighed in.
Emily Ratajkowski Gets Naked, People Get Angry: A Puzzling Timeline (Photos)
When model/actress Emily Ratajkowski ditches her clothes, things heat up -- including it seems, people's tempers. Read on for a history of Ratajkowski's tendency to spark anger with her nudity.
The Bare Facts: Ratajkowski busted onto the scene big-time in 2013, loaning her breasts to the video for the Robin Thicke tune "Blurred Lines." And unlike the song itself, nobody doubted their authenticity.
So Who's Complaining? A lot of people, actually. Like the song, the video was branded by some as sexist.
The Bare Facts: In a show of naked sisterhood with Kim Kardashian, Ratajkowski posed for a topless selfie with the reality TV queen in March, featuring both women sans blouses and flipping the bird.
So Who's Complaining? Media personality Piers Morgan, who took to Twitter and hissed, “Just a thought @KimKardashian @emrata – but you could always try wearing a little dignity?" The pundit added, "RIP Feminism."
The Bare Facts: In July, Ratajkowski appeared nude in a photo shoot as Lady Godiva for Harper's Bazaar. The spread was acompanied by an interview with Ratajkowski by feminist author Naomi Wolf.
So Who's Complaining? Morgan, again, who tweeted in response to the photos, "Do you want me to buy you some clothes? You look freezing.”
The Bare Facts: Photographer Jonathan Leder prepares to release a book of photos he shot of Ratajkowski in 2012. The book, slated for a Dec. 2016 release, features numerous photos of Ratajkowski in various states of undress.
So Who's Complaining? In a shocking twist that perhaps nobody saw coming, Ratajkowski herself. In a multi-part Twitter vent, Ratajkowski groused that the photos are being used without her permission, and called the book "a violation."
The Bare Facts: Viacom was hit with a lawsuit after a photo of Ratajkowski was published in an article on the website MTV.it titled "Emily Ratajkowski: HOT Pictures.”
So Who's Complaining? New York-based photographer Steve Sands filed the lawsuit against Viacom claiming unauthorized use of the photo. Alleging copyright infringement, the suit seeks unspecified damages and Viacom’s profits from the photo, or, alternatively, “statutory damages up to $150,000 per work infringed.”
The Bare Facts: Ratajkowski showed her love affair with food as we all would in our weaker moments, by wearing some lingerie and writhing around in some saucy spaghetti for Love Magazine.

So Who's Complaining? Who else? Piers Morgan, and by extension, turn of the 20th Century British suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, who Morgan said in an angry tweet must be somewhere vomiting. Days later on "Good Morning Britain," Morgan called Ratajkowski a "global bimbo," stunned that she posts photos of herself in the name of feminism. Morgan's co-host Susanna Reid suggested he has a "personal vendetta" against the actress.
