Piers Morgan Says Kim Kardashian's Naked Picture Isn't Very Liberating

Piers Morgan once defended Kim Kardashian, but he has since changed his tune and reacting to Kim's naked selfie she posted on Instagram this week, the British journalist took a different stance. While acknowledging that he did defend her at one time, Morgan wrote that she has gone too far this time, calling the picture depressing.

He wrote “She still looks fantastic, and of course has every right to post as many naked pictures as she likes. It's her body, her life but it's hard to escape the creeping suspicion that this new frenzied and frankly rather desperate attempt to 'break the internet' is happening because other younger members of her family have been grabbing all the scantily-clad attention recently, notably half-sister 20-year-old Kendall 'Instagram Queen' Jenner”

His comment was one of a few celebrities' who called out the star for her picture, including Chloe Grace Moretz and Bette Midler. Kim responded to each star's criticism, firing back with personal digs. After she was done defending herself, she tweeted one more naked picture to let everyone know she wouldn't back down and captioned it, “#liberated”

Morgan didn't agree with her statement and he said “I'm not so sure any of this is very liberating”. Morgan made it clear that he thinks Kim, who has appeared naked on more than one occasion, should start to stand down. He noted that “Every supermodel, movie and pop sex symbol knows there comes a time when you have to hand the baton onto the next generation, however reluctantly. Nobody is a better illustration of this than Cindy Crawford, who still commands huge attention as a model but has moved to a less-flesh business model with great style, dignity and commercial benefit. It's not so easy perhaps when your brand is so indelibly linked to your own nudity, but it's essential if you don't want to fall into the trap of becoming an ageing parody. That moment of truth has arrived for Kim Kardashian”.
