Kim Kardashian West is under fire for insinuating that model Tyson Beckford isn’t attracted to her because he’s gay.
Celebrity gossip Instagram the Shade Room posted a picture of Kardashian West arriving to “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Beckford commented on the photo with a critique on her physique.
“Sorry I don’t care for it personally,” Beckford wrote. “‘She is not real, doctor f*cked up on her right hip.”
Kardashian West, who has been adamant that she hasn’t had plastic surgery on her body, fired back with “Sis we all know why you don’t care for it.” The comment was accompanied with the tea, frog and manicure emoji.
Some people thought Kardashian West’s clap back was an offensive dig for questioning Beckford’s sexuality and for using the term “sis,” a slang term popular in both the LGBT and black communities.
Kim Kardashian, you’re questioning Tyson Beckford’s sexuality, like being “gay” is something evil. How about you worry about your husband mental health because you should be more concerned about his well being than if someone is gay. The nerve of this woman. Not today Kimberly.

@KimKardashian is trash!! I liked her until she used being gay as a drag on the shade room ig pg. honey you do not get to imply that someone is in the closet just because he didn’t like your outfit/body you don’t do that girl since you employ an array of gay makeup artist/stylist

Beckford wasn’t deterred by Kardashian West’s comment. Instead, he posted on Instagram stories “My opinion on plastic surgery stays the same, not for me! I personally don’t care for it! Done end of story!”
