EVEN SEASONED INTERNET-breaker Kim Kardashian couldn’t have predicted the storm her naked selfie cooked up this week, with celebrities like Piers Morgan and Chloe Grace Moretz all piling on to tell her to cover herself up.

While the backlash has been strong, Kim has a solid army of followers (including husband Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend Amber Rose) who will defend her to the last. And if that means posting naked selfies of their own in support of body positivity, so be it.

Sharon Osbourne was the first to don the black bars in solidarity:

And a whole load of regular folk of various shapes and sizes joined in too under the #liberated hashtag (inspired by this tweet) on Instagram.
