"Enough is enough."
Kim Kardashian is fed up with the negative reaction to her naked Instagram selfie -- and took to her blog this afternoon to shut up her haters with a lengthy post about female empowerment and sexuality.
The reality TV star once again made the Internet explode on Monday when she posted a nude photo to her social networking pages. It quickly went viral, with stars like Bette Midler and Chloe Grace Moretz either joking about or putting down Kim's decision to share her bod with the world.
While Moretz pleaded for Kim to use her platform to show women are "more than just our bodies," Kim now says she has nothing to be ashamed of.
"I don't do drugs, I hardly drink, I've never committed a crime - and yet I'm a bad role model for being proud of my body?" she writes on her official website.
"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," she continues.
FYI: Piers Morgan brought up the video in his scathing blog earlier today, saying, "nudity has been a key part of her brand ever since she first burst into public consciousness via a leaked sex tape."

After telling her critics to "move on," she adds, "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."
As for why she just loves to share such revealing pictures with her fans, she says it makes her feel "empowered."
"I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin," she writes. "I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me."
She goes on to thank her hubby, Kanye West, for his support and for giving her "newfound confidence" ... and expresses gratitude to the "strong, driven, independent women" she's grown up with. Kim adds that she hopes to share these ideas with daughter North, who she hopes is "comfortable in her body" as she grows up.
"I don't want her to grow up in a world where she is made to feel less-than for embracing everything it means to be a woman," Kim continues.
"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," she adds in conclusion. "I am a mother. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entrepreneur and I am allowed to be sexy."

Love when a man comments on a woman's decision to post a nude photo. Her body, her career. Sexist bullsh*t. @KimKardashian
@emrata
If a guy posts a shirtless picture, people say how "steamy" and "hot" it is. But if a woman chooses to do that, it's setting a bad example?
