Kim Kardashian hits back on 'cultural appropriation'

Kim Kardashian has hit back at furious fans who have accused her of 'cultural appropriation' after sporting what she called 'Bo Derek' braids.

Posting a slew of very racy pictures on Instagram on Monday evening, the 37-year-old captioned an image of herself on the phone with the words:' Hi, can I get zero f***s please, thanks.' 

Wearing a dressing gown and socks, she was still sporting the blonde braids which led to the initial backlash. 

Another showed her lying on a bed in the same number, alongside a retro camcorder which was pointing towards her.  

Kim took to Snapchat on Sunday to unveil her silver corn rows, which she called her 'Bo Derek braids' - in reference to the actress' appearance in 1979 film, 10.

However, the comment was immediately blasted by her followers, who branded her 'disrespectful' and accused of her cultural appropriation.

The TV star was immediately slammed by her followers after revealing in the selfie video she was 'really into' her new look, inspired by the famous American actress.  

One fan responded by writing: 'I’m still a bit peeved on how @KimKardashian had the audacity to call these braids “Bo Derrick” braids' (sic)

While another added: 'Kim Kardashian on snap talking about some Bo Derek braids. Kim they are called CORN ROWS.'

Further fans were more critical, writing: 'Kim K got braids like these. And gave credit to Bo Derek for the style. Am i wrong for being bothered. Because I’m super bothered. That’s who tf you give credit for for that style !? Seriously.' 

One wrote: 'What’s the problem with Kim Kardashian having braids? Stop making nothing into something.'

While others chimed in: 'I actually like Kim’s braids lol' and 'You look so good with braids!!!! Haters gonna hate.'

MailOnline has contacted Kim's representatives for comment. 

She first shared her newly-braided hair with her Snapchat followers on Sunday night.   

She posed for a number of selfies in silver-framed spectacles, as she revealed that her silver-dyed locks have been transformed into multiple braided strands with white beads on the ends.

It marked a radical new look for Kim who often likes to change it up - whether dyeing her real hair, or simply opting for a wig.

She posed with her mouth open, drawing attention to her thick false lashes and the pale pink colour on her lips. 

It was the second time in a few hours that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shared snaps for her fans on social media.

Earlier on Sunday she shared a bathroom selfie wearing only Calvin Klein underwear, during a recent photo shoot for the brand. 

Kim recently welcomed baby number three earlier this month but since she used a gestational carrier, she doesn't have to worry about losing any pregnancy weight.

She and Kanye welcomed daughter Chicago via surrogate, due to issues Kim had suffered during her pregnancies with daughter North, four, and son Saint, two.
