Kim Kardashian West was one of the reported 100 celebrities hacked but she has nothing to hide. British GQ‘s Woman of the Year posed nude in the October issue of the magazine. Jimmy Fallon and Conan O’Brien joked that she was upset because her nude photos got released early.
“What a huge, huge, huge honor to win Woman of the Year,” Kim said during her acceptance speech. “It’s so special and I wanna thank GQ for that and I wanna thank my husband for making me feel like woman of the year every single day.”
One can’t help but think that her willingness to pose in the nude may have played into the decision but it was inevitable according to Jonathan Heaf, who interviewed the “most famous woman on the planet.”
“It’s been an astonishing 12 months, let alone decade,” Heaf writes in the interview for the shoot. “Sex tape to sex symbol. Reality star to media sensation. Fashion pariah to style icon. And to top it all off, British GQ‘s Woman Of The Year 2014. I mean, seriously, who else was it going to be?”
Pretty much anyone else would have been a better choice according to comments on Twitter. GQ had to distance itself from the British edition of the magazine.
“Good morning, citizens of the UK. We’re still GQ US, and we still gave no awards. Congratulations on the new royal baby, though,” GQ tweeted.
“She is far prettier than any hastily snapped sidewalk shot ever gives her beauty credit for,” Heaf vouches. “Her skin emits wealth, in a way only the skin of the obscenely wealthy can — conditioned, buffed, incandescent.”
Her affluent lifestyle is a theme from the very beginning of the piece. Heaf notes that her room door at the Mercer hotel closes with a “reassuringly expensive ‘whump.'” He describes her as the “typical rich kid from Beverly Hills.” At 14 she got a car from her father Robert Kardashian, who served as one of the defense attorneys in the O.J. Simpson trial. As for her opulent wedding to Kayne West, the multimillionaire denies reports about golden toilets.
Heaf argues that Kim’s haters don’t have a problem with her specifically but rather the celebrity obsessed culture that allows people to be famous for being famous. She’s winning them over in part due to the “cachet of credibility” Kayne West brings to the relationship contends Heaf.
“The comments on my Instagram account. People have started being nicer to me,” Kim attests.
Even the biggest haters have to admit the brand new mother looks like a million bucks. Taking the baby weight off has been easy though. While having a Diet Coke, she salivated over a chocolate fondant ordered by a man at the adjacent table.
“That is utter torture,” she groaned. “It’s tough. I love food. I have to talk to myself to stop cheating on my diet. And my job makes me hyper aware of my body. Some of those comments on social media, it’s bullying. I actually think it needs to be policed. Shall we order fires? Perhaps not. I still need to look at myself in the mirror tonight.”
The Kim Kardashian sex tape may have made her famous but she dismisses claims it was orchestrated. She insists that it was meant to remain private as is any new sex tape that may or may not exist.
“My Husband Kayne and I have an amazing sex life,” she said. “So far as the sex tape is concerned, whether or not we’ve made another… If we have, it’s never something I want to go public. I never want to make the same mistake twice. You do these sorts of things with people you trust. When someone says to me ‘sex tape’, it’s a very private thing, not something I would ever want anyone else to see but me and Kayne…”
Kim clearly needs to work on her poker face because she broke into a giggle fit that prompted more questions and less denial.
“I am married to an incredible man and let’s just say we do like to have fun,” she added. “Have we made another? There’s nothing wrong with being adventurous, having fun and experimenting, but there’s definitely the right sort of person you should surround yourself with. Kayne and I have a very good sex life. What we do privately is private. I think let’s just leave it at that.”
Kim didn’t comment on the hacked celebrities scandal, which happened after the after the interview, but she later told BBC‘s Newsbeat that it was a “wake up call for people to make sure they have every privacy setting.”
You won’t find this heavenly body in the cloud she advised would-be hackers.
“I don’t even know where this cloud is or where all this information is that can be hacked into,” she explained. “I deleted my iCloud account ages ago because I didn’t really understand it and I was aware that it was so easily accessible.”
