Kardashian has been accused of this offense before, with her past hairstyles and clothing choices, but this time she is being accused of using blackface and purposely trying to emulate a black woman for the cover. KKW has not spoken out about the backlash, but a source close to Kim who was on set for the shoot, spoke to Page Six and said, “It’s the lighting that makes her look darker in this specific image. There are multiple covers and images from this shoot where the lighting looks more natural, People are so quick to find the negative in everything and also often forget that she is of Armenian descent.”

Check out some of the reactions and see what people are saying about the photos on Twitter:

The thing with Kim Kardashian and her family’s tireless history of cultural appropriation and Blackfishing is that she knows better. They know better. But they continue to do this because they know outrage sells. They’re able to keep their name relevant by doing things like THIS. https://t.co/rIE1fuYUXH

Kim Kardashian don't care about black women. You can be as loud and upset as you want. KARDASHIANS DON'T CARE ABOUT BLACK WOMEN. Their brand is able to exist by gettin access into black culture through black men who will defend them till the end cause they too hate black women
