The picture generated reactions from fans, followers, critics and fellow celebrities. Among those to weigh in on Kardashian’s picture was Bette Midler. Hinting at that infamous sex tape, Midler tweeted, “Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera.

In response to Midler and others, Kardashian took to her blog to essentially tell everyone to get over the sex tape that was filmed more than a decade ago.

“It always seems to come back around to my sex tape. Yes, a sex tape that was made 13 years ago. 13 YEARS AGO. Literally that lonnng ago. And people still want to talk about it?!?!” Kardashian wrote. “I lived through the embarrassment and fear, and decided to say who cares, do better, move on. I shouldn’t have to constantly be on the defense, listing off my accomplishments just to prove that I am more than something that happened 13 years ago. Let’s move on, already. I have.”

Kardashian went on to refer to her nude and nearly-nude pictures that she posts on social media. Accusing her detractors of slut-shaming and body-shaming, Kardashian believes that she’s practicing her own kind of empowerment.

“I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin. I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me,” she wrote. “And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.”

Kardashian added, “It’s 2016. The body-shaming and slut-shaming—it’s like, enough is enough. I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me.”
