Kim Kardashian‘s fully nude spread in PAPER Magazine has nearly done its job of breaking the internet.
The accompanying interview featuring the 34-year-old reality starlet has just been released, along with two brand new pictures from the shoot. And these photos are even more explicit than the now-famous booty shot, since one of them is totally full-frontal nude.
Being that the idea was to “break the internet,” Kim’s interview is ironic, considering she discusses whether she would be where she is today without social media:
“I don’t think so…” she says, slowly, then reconsiders. “I don’t think social media was that heavy when we started our show, but I think we really evolved with social media.”
“I love sharing my world with people,” Kardashian tells me, and I detect no hint of falseness. “That’s just who I am.” No more, no less.
Kim even goes on to call her family’s reality show, which is currently filming season 10, the “best family movie ever,” and states that “we’re kind of obsessed with each other.”
Reports claim Kimmy was not paid a dime for the photoshoot, and that it was her idea to go full-frontal nude in the first place.
TMZ reports:
Our sources at Paper Magazine say … Kim’s sole motivation was working with famed photog Jean-Paul Goude. The mag does not have the money to pay Kim her market value, so compensation was never really an option.
We now know the shoot went down during Paris Fashion Week in September. The plan was to shoot just one cover, but she and JPG hit it off so well they “got creative” and shot a lot more.
Since the release of her photos, Kim has received some backlash, including from Naya Rivera and Chelsea Handler, who mocked the photos with a butt shot of her own. In fact, many naysayers claim Kim’s famous booty was Photoshopped.
But the editorial director of the mag has spoken out, revealing that Kim’s cheeks were retouched, but not enhanced in any way.
Mickey “Mr. Mickey” Boardman told Us Weekly:
“Every cover of every magazine is airbrushed on some level,” Boardman tells Us. “But what I will say, is that is her butt. It is not padded. It is not augmented. That is all really her. But, yes, there was retouching to clean things up and make things look amazing,” he admitted. “That’s what retouching is. It’s not building an ass that isn’t there or taking 50 pounds off the waist.”
“We were really just planning on recreating the [famous] champagne shot…but she came in and was like, ‘Let’s, you know, let’s just go there!’ She and Jean-Paul just got into it with each other and got excited. She’s not shy about taking her clothes off, and the next thing [we knew], magic was happening.”
