Amber Rose has already stood up for Kim Kardashian's nude selfie earlier this week.
And again the model was in the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star's corner when she spoke about the selfie controversy on Nightline.
'I
thought she looked beautiful,' said the 32-year-old ex-girlfriend of
Kanye West. West is now married to Kim but the two women have managed to
maintain a friendship.
A pal: Amber Rose has already stood up
for Kim Kardashian's nude selfie earlier this week. And again the model
was in the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star's corner when she spoke
about the selfie controversy on Nightline
Shaking it up: The 35-year-old mother
of three posted a photo where she was naked - with black bars across her
privates - that stirred up a lot of criticism
The
35-year-old mother of three posted a photo to Twitter where she was
naked - with black bars across her privates - that stirred up a lot of
criticism.
Rose
also invited Kim to speak at her annual SlutWalk event, which aims to
make women unashamed about their bodies and fashion choices.
I thought
she looked beautiful,' said Rose. 'I'm a mom. I know how hard it is to,
like, work out and try to get your body back but at the same time,
embracing the fact that your body does change after you have a baby.
After carrying a baby, I just think it's really cool and I've seen that
she's been getting a lot of [flack] for it and I didn't think it was
fair.'
Her argument: 'I'm a mom. I know how
hard it is to, like, work out and try to get your body back but at the
same time, embracing the fact that your body does change after you have a
baby,' said Rose
She DOES have a point: 'If any sexy
guy posted a nude picture with a little black strip over his private
areas, everybody would be like, "Damn, he is hot, he's sexy, look at
that body. Oh, he's a dad too?" It's just a double standard,' added
Amber
Kim welcomed son Saint West in December.
'If
any sexy guy posted a nude picture with a little black strip over his
private areas, everybody would be like, "Damn, he is hot, he's sexy,
look at that body. Oh, he's a dad too?" It's just a double standard,'
added Amber.
In February Amber and Kim got close after a Twitter feud between Kanye and Amber's ex Wiz Khalifa, who she has a child with.
'People
think me and Kim are arch enemies and we're not,' Amber told Nightline.
'We literally text each other all the time. We're very, like, positive
towards each other.'
This comes after Amber defended Kim when singer Pink talked out about her.
In a lengthy Twitter
post, Pink wrote: 'Shout out to all of the women, across the world,
using their brains, their strength, their work ethic, their talent,
their "magic" that they were born with, that only they possess.'
Joining the debate: Pink (seen in November) is the latest star to weigh in on the Kardashian nude selfie debate
'It
may not ever bring you as much "attention" or bank notes as using your
body, your sex, your t**s and a**es, but women like you don't need that
kind of "attention."'
Pink
added: 'In the quiet moments, you will feel something deeper than the
fleeting excitement resulting from attention, you will feel something
called pride and self respect.'
She added: 'Keep on resisting the urge to cave. You'll never have to make silly excuses for yourself.'
In
a second tweet, Pink shared: 'Last one for the evening: you are all
entitled to your opinions and feelings and I am open to hear all of it.
But it won't change my mind.'
'Shout out to all of the women using
their brains': The pop star told fans not to use their bodies or sex to
try and get 'attention'
The
following morning, Rose hit back at the pop star on Instagram, pointing
out that she has performed in the past while 'damn near naked swinging
from a rope.
'Damn
Pink we were all born naked society sexualizes our breast and bodies,'
she wrote, telling Pink that it is not her 'business' if Kim wants to
share nude photos on Twitter.
Firing back: Amber Rose told Pink it was none of her 'business', before sending another message to Kim
Come and join me: The star invited her
former love rival to her SlutWalk this year. She is pictured at the
inaugural 2015 SlutWalk in October
'If
a grown mother of 2 is comfortable with her body and wants to show it
off that's none of ur business or anyone else's,' Amber added. 'Now, if u
wanna talk to kids and be a mentor to young teens, tell them to go to
school and to not use their bodies to get ahead?! I'm all for it!
'But
please as a grown woman let another grown woman live as she wishes.
That's our problem! We're so quick to down each other instead of
uplifting!'
Amber
then said that Pink has performed in skimpy outfits, writing: 'Pink,
We've seen u damn near naked swinging from a rope( Beautifully) but
what's the difference between a rope, a pole and a pic on Instagram?
Classism.
'We've seen u damn near naked swinging
from a rope': Amber criticised Pink for her comments about Kim when she
has performed in the past wearing skimpy outfits (pictured January
2010)
Because u
sing while ur half naked does that make it "Classy" or is it because u
have a "talent"? I'm not dissing at all Pink just curious after u said
"You'll never have to make a silly excuse for yourself".'
Amber then went on to share a second post, inviting Kim to share her story of being 'slut-shamed' at her SlutWalk this year.
The
mother-of-one urged the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star to speak
about the issue 'not only when it's convenient for u but when u can help
others'.
Making amends: They have feuded very
publicly in the past, but Amber is now firmly on Kim's side. The pair
even hung out together last month
She
wrote: 'And @kimkardashian I don't know u well but I saw u speak about
slut shaming and as u know I'm an activist feminist so it spoke to me.
Being Slut shamed and ridiculed is not fun it's hurtful and mean.
'Us
women deal with it everyday and I'm happy u can speak openly on this
now because if anyone knows what it's like to be Slut Shamed it's u!
Live it Kim! Make a difference and speak on it! Not only when it's
convenient for u but when u can help others.'
She
added: 'Last year at my Slutwalk I told my Slut shaming story. This
year I would love for u to come and tell urs. This is an open invite
from me to u and ur sisters are welcomed too.'
Back in the day: When Amber was dating Kim's husband Kanye West, they sat front row at a fashion show with Pink in March 2009
They didn't get along: Later that year, the singer referred to the rapper as 'the biggest piece of s**t on earth'
Amber
added: 'Let's let the naysayers know u are so much more then a sex tape
(13 years ago) f*** it own it. Ur a mom and a business woman, a wife,
sister and daughter. Hope we can make this happen
#AmberRoseSlutWalk2016.'
Pink's post and Amber's response came after Kim penned an essay for her subscription based website kimkardashianwest.com, defending her decision to share a naked photo on Sunday night.
'It
always seems to come back around to my sex tape,' wrote Kim of the
critics. 'Yes, a sex tape that was made 13 years ago. 13 YEARS AGO.
Literally that lonnng ago. And people still want to talk about it?!?!'
'My sentiments exactly': Chloe tweeted Pink to say that she was a fan of the star's 'smart, strong statement'
'I
lived through the embarrassment and fear, and decided to say who cares,
do better, move on,' she wrote of the sex tape, which was made with her
old boyfriend Ray J.
'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.'
The previous day, Kim had hit back at Bette Midler, Chloe Moretz and Piers Morgan for criticising her nude selfie.
'I was busy cashing my 80 million video game check': Kim joked about paying off the debt her husband Kanye West claimed to have
'I swear I'm funny too!!!': On Tuesday, the star denied that the tweets had been sent out by her outspoken husband or sister
Bette
had tweeted: '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.'
Kim then wrote: 'Hey @BetteMidler I know it's past your bedtime but if you're still up and reading this send nudes.'
She
added: 'Hey @BetteMidler I really didn't want to bring up how you sent
me a gift awhile back trying to be a fake friend then come at me.'
Not impressed: The 35-year-old didn't see the funny side after Bette tweeted this joke
'It's past your bedtime': The reality star responded to the 70-year-old's initial joke with a reference to her age
'Fake friend': Kim said that Bette had given her a gift, referring to a tree that was planted in her honour
Withering zinger: The singer responded
to Kim Kardashian's outrage by claiming the reality TV star could take a
selfie but not a joke
But
Bette shot back with a withering zinger, tweeting on Tuesday morning:
'@KimKardashian: I never tried to fake friend you. Looks like anyone can
take a selfie but not everyone can take a joke...'
According to TMZ,
the gift in question was a tree that Bette planted back in 2007 in
Kim's honour, as part of her MillionTreesNYC restoration initiative.
Meanwhile
Chloe had tweeted to the reality star, telling her that she had a
responsibility to be a better role model to young women.
'I
truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women,
teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies,' the
19-year-old wrote.
When
Twitter users suggested Chloe was 'slut-shaming' Kim, she added:
'There's a huge difference in respecting the platform that you're given
as a celebrity and "slut shaming" something I never have done and would
never do.'
Kim hit back: 'Let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo.'
