Kim Kardashian Has Responded To That 'Blackface' Drama
Last week, Kim Kardashian joined the makeup industry with her very own collection, but immediately there was drama.
Fans were disappointed that the promotional images of Kim had her skin heavily darkened, accusing her of 'blackface.'
Now, Kim has responded.
Kim has spoken to The New York Times, admitting that she was simply going for a heavily bronzed look.
"I would obviously never want to offend anyone," she began.
"I used an amazing photographer and a team of people. I was really tan when we shot the images, and it might be that the contrast was off.
"But I showed the image to many people, to many in the business. No one brought that to our attention. No one mentioned it."
She continued, "Of course, I have the utmost respect for why people might feel the way they did. But we made the necessary changes to that photo and the rest of the photos.
"We saw the problem, and we adapted and changed right away. Definitely I have learned from it."
We never thought Kim would intentionally do something like that, but it is important to acknowledge when people are upset about an issue as large as this, and take full responsibility.
