Bathroom break! Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski posed topless together in a mirror selfie on Wednesday, March 30, and gave the middle finger to all of their haters, including, presumably, various celebrities who spoke out against Kardashian’s nude Twitter picture from earlier this month.
“When we’re like … we both have nothing to wear,” Kardashian, 35, wrote alongside a snap of herself and the “Blurred Lines” model, 21, posing topless in a bathroom and holding up their middle fingers. “LOL @emrata.” In the pic, their breasts are censored by the famous black strips that Kardashian used to cover her lady parts in her previous naked selfie.

Ratajkowski shared the same pic on Instagram and added via Twitter: “However sexual our bodies may be, we need to hve the freedom as women to choose whn & how we express our sexuality.”
We are more than just our bodies, but that doesn’t mean we have to be shamed for them or our sexuality. #liberated

Even if being sexualized by society’s gaze is demeaning, there must be a space where women can still be sexual when they choose to be.

Kardashian memorably feuded with several of her fellow stars including Bette Midler and Chloe Grace Moretz on International Women’s Day, March 8, after they were critical of one of her naked pictures.
In a note to her critics, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star spoke about feeling “empowered” by her body, regardless of what her critics tweeted or wrote in response.
“I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin,” Kardashian wrote on her website at the time. “I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me. And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.”
Ratajkowski was one of the stars to defend her at the time. “Love when a man comments on a woman’s decision to post a nude photo,” the Gone Girl actress wrote at the time. “Her body, her career. Sexist bullsh*t. @KimKardashian.” Kardashian subsequently sent Ratajkowski flowers for her support.
