W Magazine has responded to the weekend’s claims that they exploited and lied to Kim Kardashian. Kardashian made the claim, during Sunday’s episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, that W had promised to make her naked editorial ‘artsy’, and so she was upset to learn it had become ‘porn.’ She clarified that she was naked painted everywhere including her pubic area, for which she had to ‘spread [her] legs,’ and her… well, her taint, basically, for which she explained she had to ‘bend over.’ However, she claims W said artwork would cover her body and no nipple or butt crack would be shown. The pictures didn’t arrive in her inbox until they’d been printed and shipped. With no recourse, her mother told her to ‘own it.’ On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the magazine told fashion blog The Cut, ‘In keeping in line with the theme of W Magazine’s November Art Issue, Kim Kardashian’s cover was conceived as an artistic collaboration with well-known artist Barbara Kruger, and was a meditation on the influence that reality TV has on contemporary culture.’ They continued, ‘The inside portfolio documented the career and power of Kim Kardashian as a work of art, using the language of artists like Jeff Koons… and Gilbert & George.’ So, they’re all like, ‘WUT? No, she knew. It was a collaboration. We didn’t make the decision behind her back.’ I don’t even know anymore. What do you think? Which if them’s lying?
