WOMAN - UK|February 19, 2018

The reality star has faced a backlash after releasing her latest snaps. But is it so wrong for a new mum to be baring all?

So Should Kim Cover Up?

Once again, Kim Kardashian has ‘broken the internet’ by uploading a series of what could be her most provocative photos yet. This time, Kim, 37, is flaunting her curves in a tiny nude thong… and, well, not much else.

But while the world is no stranger to Kim’s nipples, this time, her pictures – posted just weeks after she became a mum for the third time via a surrogate – have been met with criticism.

Piers Morgan took to Twitter to share his views. ‘Oh put them away, for goodness sake,’ he wrote. Others were quick to suggest that, as a mum, Kim should be more modest. ‘Absolutely foul,’ wrote one Instagram user. ‘Setting a poor example to your children.’ And one horrified parent discovered her 13-year-old was sending seductive pictures to a boy at school. When asked why, she said, ‘Kim Kardashian does it.’

But should Kim cover up just because she’s a mother? Here, we ask two mums with two different views…

‘KIM’S PHOTOS ARE INSPIRING, NOT SHOCKING’

No! Lydia Smith, 38, lives in Surrey. she has three children aged 20, 14, and seven.

It’s no secret that being a teenage girl is tough, so I’ll always be grateful for the confidence my mum instilled within me. Growing up, I never heard her discuss dieting or counting calories. Instead, she encouraged me to be active and to eat healthily to fuel my body.
