Kim Kardashian may be the selfie queen, but even her fans want her to retire the duck pout.
The reality star started controversy when she took to Instagram earlier this week to post a selfie showcasing her newly dyed blonde locks, eliciting mixed reactions from her followers.
Why Fans Are Tired Of Kim’s Selfies
In the photo, Kim can be seen seated in what appears to be a dressing room. Sporting her trademark pouting lip, Kim offered fans a close-up glimpse of her new, sandy blonde hair while captioning the post with a single yellow heart emoji, a nod to the new color.
The selfie sparked a debate among fans, with some expressing admiration for Kim’s bold new look, though others called for the retirement of her signature pose. “Kim retire the pout i beg!” one person wrote, while another added, “Yeah, I’m not into the pout pics either 🙂 lol.”
Another critic added, “Same. But I’ll take anything over the peace sign she used to do constantly.”
Last month, Kim got similar backlash after sharing a pouting selfie while showing a peace sign to the camera. Though she added the lips emoji in the caption, seeming to acknowledge her signature pout, some commenters still begged her to retire the look.
“Can’t you just take a photo with a straight face?” one person wrote on the photo, while others said, “Why do you still do the duck face?” and “Why do you make your face look like that?”
Kim Has Been Called Out For Photoshop Before
It’s not only her posing that gets Kim criticism. Fans have also come at her with photoshop allegations for years. Last year, she came under fire for sharing a photo of her and others, though she clearly edited herself in the photos to look better while leaving the others.
Kim Kardashian shared a selfie featuring herself, Khloe Kardashian, and Savas Oguz, the close friend of Khloe’s former partner and father of her children, Tristan Thompson.
While Khloe and Savas appear blurry in the photo, Kim’s face is sharply focused. The reality star sports her signature duck face pose, whereas Khloe’s expression appears less flattering, seemingly obstructed by what seems to be a Hookah pressed against her lips.
After the image surfaced on Reddit, critics weighed in, suggesting that Khloe’s appearance indicated she may have been partying excessively and had possibly undergone excessive cosmetic enhancements and makeup application.
The photo garnered widespread criticism, with many deeming it unflattering and sparking discussions about the pressures of maintaining a public image in the entertainment industry. Many called Kim out specifically, saying it was thoughtless to put so much attention on her looks but not care what her sister looks like in the image.
