Doesn’t it feel like it’s been at least a decade since Kim Kardashian shared that nude selfie that everybody lost their minds over?
Over here in reality, it’s only been a year and a half, but so much has happened since then that it feels like it’s been practically a lifetime.
Kylie and Khloe are pregnant, a surrogate is pregnant with Kim’s third child, the world is probably going to end any day now …
Like, does time even mean anything anymore? Does anything mean anything anymore?
All existential crises aside though, Kim really did post that nude selfie in March of 2016, and soon after posting it, she got a whole, whole lot of criticism for it.
She got so much criticism that she actually got into a feud with Bette Midler, who reacted to the photo by tweeting “If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera.”
“Hey @BetteMidler,” Kim replied, “I know it’s past your bedtime but if you’re still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding.”
That would have been cute, but a few minutes after that she added “Hey @BetteMidler I really didn’t want to bring up how you sent me a gift a while back trying to be a fake friend then come at me #dejavu.”
Queen Bette told her “I never tried to fake friend you. Looks like anyone can take a selfie but not everyone can take a joke.”
Another person that went after Kim — or possibly went after her, anyway, she never named names — was Pink.
While everyone was talking about the selfie, Pink tweeted a note that read “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.”
“It may not ever bring you as much ‘attention’ or bank notes as using your body, your sex, your tits and asses, but women like you don’t need that kind of ‘attention."”
“In the quiet moments,” she wrote, “you will feel something deeper than the fleeting excitement resulting from attention, you will feel something called pride and self respect.”
“Keep on resisting the urge to cave. You’ll never have to make silly excuses for yourself.”
But why are we bringing all this up again when it all happened so long ago?
Because Pink recently made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen … and she finally admitted that yes, her message was directed at Kim!
“Honestly, she went in on Bette Midler,” Pink explained when asked about the matter. “And if you go in on Bette Midler, you’re probably going to hear from me.”
“Don’t talk to Bette Midler ever,” she added. “About anything.”
So it seems like Pink was simply defending Bette against Kim, which is honestly pretty adorable, right?
She said that she did it because Bette is her “everything,” and she even recounted a magical moment in which she and Bette performed “The Rose” together.
Can we hear more about this and less about that tired old nude selfie?
Please?
