The reality star questioned why people still brought up THAT sex tape from 13 years ago
The reality star uploaded a full-frontal picture today - where her modesty was covered with two black lines - in another bid to break the internet.
But after backlash from stars including Bette Midler and Chloe Moretz - mum-of-two Kim has spoken out again, insisting criticism always comes back to THAT sex tape.
In a post on her website, Kim wrote: "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?"

"I lived through the embarrassment and fear, and decided to say who cares, do better, move on. I shouldn't have to constantly be on the defense, listing off my accomplishments just to prove that I am more than something that happened 13 years ago. Let's move on, already. I have."
Kim, mum to children North and Saint, went on to say she felt "empowered" by her body, sexuality, and feeling comfortable in her own skin.

The 35-year-old went on to say she hoped to pass her confidence on to daughter North, two, encouraging her to be "proud of who she is".
Kim signed off by writing: "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.

Earlier today legendary actress Bette, 70, said: "Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we've never seen, she's gonna have to swallow the camera."
