Kim’s decision to include her nine-month-old daughter in an advertisement for her Flashing Lights Collection has incensed some of the 38-year-old’s online followers.

While more than 4,000,000 people were on board with the image of a topless Kim clutching her baby daughter to her chest, a number of Instagram users accused the mother-of-three of exploiting her daughter by including her in the promotional post.

Imagine using your kid to promote your makeup line.

Horrible to exploit a baby like that. They have no shame. Disgusted!

A baby is not an accessory…. use flowers or something.

Using your child for money? If your new eyeshadows are so great, so stop using your body and your kid for this.

You have no shame! How unfortunate your child is; making your child feature in a topless photo.

And so on and so forth…

Kris Jenner has spent the last 11 years fending off accusations that she exploited her children in order to secure a television show, and amass millions upon millions of dollars in the process.

We mean, who could forget her take on the leaking of Kim’s sex tape back in 2007?

When I saw Kim’s sex tape, as a mother, I wanted to kill her. As her manager…

As the newest generation of Kardashians begin to take centre-stage, it was only a matter of time before their mothers would begin fending off similar accusations.

But when it comes to Kim’s recent upload; do you think her critics have a point?
