AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian recently debuted new braids hairstyle which she called "Bo Derek braids". Her new hairdo has sparked internet blacklash, with many accusing her of cultural appropriation, and Lindsay Lohan is one of those who have slammed the reality TV star.
The "Machete" actress, who used to be good friends with Kim, commented on a photo celebrity blogger Perez Hilton posted of the KKW Beauty founder rocking the blonde cornrows. He asked people to weigh in on Kim's new look.
"I am confused," Lindsay wrote in the comment section. Noticing this, Kim didn't stay still. She quickly clapped back at the 31-year-old former Disney star as she wrote, "you know what's confusing... your sudden foreign accent," in response to LiLo's remark.
Kim was referring to the puzzling European accent that Lindsay adopted in late 2016 after a year of traveling. "It's a mixture of most of the languages I can understand or am trying to learn," she explained to Daily Mail at the time. "I've been learning different languages since I was a child. I'm fluent in English and French can understand Russian and am learning Turkish, Italian and Arabic."
Kim debuted her new cornrows on Friday with a video she shared on Snapchat and Instagram Stories. She called it "Bo Derek braids" as a nod to the model and actress' iconic look in the movie "10". Most people were offended by the fact that the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star attributed the hairstyle to a white woman while it is actually an ancient traditional African style.
"They are called Fulani braids or some may even say corn rows," one Twitter user reminded Kim. "You could of called them either one but you called them 'Bo derek' giving credit to a white woman for a black style knowing you already catch heat for culture vulturing. #KimKardashian #culturalvul."
Kim also sported the braids in a series of raunchy photos which she shared on Instagram on Monday. The mother of three exposed her bare breast and wore nothing but a fur coat and skimpy white panties in one super NSFW snap.
