Kim Kardashian has revealed her 12-year-old daughter’s response to recent backlash over wearing fake tattoos – and gave her own two cents, Daily Mail reports.
The reality TV star appeared on the Wednesday episode of Complex’s GOAT Talk YouTube series.
The 45-year-old recently came under fire after North West was seen with several temporary tattoos and piercings in a TikTok video.
Her eldest child with ex-husband Kanye West also wore grillz and blue contact lenses and had bright blue highlights in her braids.
Some fans appeared to think the work was real – but all of her add-ons were fake.
Now the SKIMS founder has discussed North’s reaction to the tense hullabaloo.
Kim Kardashian said North was confused over the hate. She recalled: ‘She was like, “I don’t get it. It’s a Halloween costume. It’s all fake.”‘
The actress, who is starring in legal drama All’s Fair, also said it was North – not her – who wrote a comment under a Daily Mail TikTok post which said: ‘This is such a non-issue.’
‘She takes my phone, and she writes back to a comment, and she goes, “This is such a non-issue.” Then online, it was like, “Kim defends North to the end on this look,”‘ Kardashian said, adding, ‘That’s a good clapback.’
While appearing on the Complex’s GOAT Talk series The Kardashians star offered her two cents over the harsh judgment.
She said the comments from trolls was ‘horrible’ and ‘disturbing.’
‘North, if she ever posts a TikTok, it’s on my phone, so she has to ask my approval, and then I post it, whatever,’ Kardashian explained. ‘The comments, all that’s on my phone.
‘So her and her girlfriends, they love doing costumes, they love doing looks, and so, it’s Halloween season, so they put on fake tattoos on their face, fake piercings, they all had their colored hair,’ she continued.
‘They looked like an opium Powerpuff Girls … [that’s] what they were going for.’
In addition to North, Kim Kardashian also has Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six, with her ex-husband West.
North had large, star-shaped black ink underneath her right eye and scripture under her left one in the heavily criticized social media post.
The tween also showed off dramatic false eyelashes, a glittery blue manicure, and a henna tattoo all over her hand.
She wore an oversized black T-shirt, long shorts and black and white Rick Owens sneakers, coordinating with her friends.
Additionally, North wore nude lipstick and brown lip-liner, plus striking black grillz in her mouth.
The nepo baby was also decked out in heavy silver-toned jewelry including a stack of chokers and chains around her neck.
The TikTok was captioned, ‘fake piercings and fake tatts 4 life.’
Kardashian and North’s joint TikTok account profile reads, ‘Me and my bestie. Managed by an adult. Jesus loves you!’
North’s latest fashion moment comes after fans called out her mother for letting her daughter wear a corset over the summer.
Kim Kardashian addressed the internet fallout while appearing on Alex Cooper’s Call Me Daddy podcast earlier this month.
The mother-of-four said: ‘It’s really hard and it’s really interesting because all the kids are wearing the same things.
‘But then my daughter tries to wear it and then I’m like, “Okay, we’re never wearing that again.” Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.’
She added about her firstborn child, ‘She’s usually a girl that that dresses like a tomboy most of the time and she wanted to try something that her friends were wearing and went to the same place that they went to… and it’s just like, okay, wait, maybe you can’t wear that, you know?’
The billionaire continued: ‘So, as a mom, you’re kind of learning at the same time. But what I do know is my baby’s such a good girl and such a sweet girl.
‘The things that she has experienced, where she might have been outspoken or did something, she learns from that.
‘She does listen to me but in other areas I’m like, “Babe if you want blue hair, it is what it is.” It makes her so happy. I would never take that creativity away from her.’
