Standing her ground. Teen actress Chloë Grace Moretz took to Twitter late Monday, March 7, to deny that she was slut-shaming Kim Kardashian after criticizing the reality star’s (many) nude photos.
The spat began with the 30 Rock alum, 19, retweeting Bette Midler’s post about Kardashian’s nude selfie from Monday morning. “If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera,” Midler, 70, wrote in her post, which has since garnered 73,000-plus retweets.
Then, Moretz tweeted directly at Kardashian, 35.

However, Kardashian was less than enthused about Moretz’s posts, and even questioned the young star’s fame.

The If I Stay actress isn’t the only one to have felt Kardashian’s wrath late Monday. Midler and Piers Morgan received the brunt of Kardashian’s barrage of tweets, which ended with … yet another nude selfie.
