Kim Kardashian West is back with her internet-breaking ways after she posted another controversial selfie, this time with model-actress Emily Ratajkowski featuring their half-naked bodies.
The photo which was posted on Kim’s Instagram account showed the pair posing completely topless in a restroom with their middle fingers up to send a message to their haters.
Emily for her part also uploaded the photo on Twitter, but she added a series of tweets to provide deeper context to why they were doing this.
