Supermodel Amber Rose has spoken out in support of Kim Kardashian West after the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star was heavily criticised for stripping off and posting a nude photograph online.
The 32-year-old model, who earlier dated Kardashian's husband Kanye West, has defended the reality TV star after singer Pink appeared to criticise her by encouraging young girls to use "their brains, their strength, their work ethic, their talent" rather than bodies to get attention, reported Female First.
Rose wrote on Instagram, "Damn Pink we were all born naked society sexualizes our breast and bodies. 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.
"Now, if you 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."
Rose also went on to question what the difference was between stripping off for a music video, photo shoot or for a shot on Instagram.
"That's our problem! We're so quick to down each other instead of uplifting! Pink, We've seen you damn near naked swinging from a rope (Beautifully) but what's the difference between a rope, a pole and a pic on Instagram? Classism.
"Because you sing while your 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 you said "You'll never have to make a silly excuse for yourself (sic)," Rose wrote.
