The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star made headlines in 2007 when she appeared in a home movie titled Kim Kardashian, Superstar – which featured explicit content.

Kim Kardashian has been hit with cruel jibes that she looks like a ρ-օ-ɾ-n performer once again – twenty years after she made an explicit video with Ray J.

The 42-year-old reality star was clearly feeling herself as she stripped down to a gold bikini and cavorted on a bicycle and went for a dip in a pool. Kim showed off her famous curves as she posed for a string of photographs while enjoying time away from California.

The TV star is enjoying a summer break in Italy and found time in her schedule for an impromptu, or perhaps agonisingly choreographed, late night photoshoot. She uploaded a series of photos to her Instagram page, along with a caption stating: “Nite swim in Puglia.”

Kim shared snaps of herself sanding thighs deep in water, laying against the edge of a swimming pool, posing among some bicycles, and out for a night time ride.

The images were met with a wall of approval from fans – with many responding to her snaps with flame emojis and enthusiastic comments. One appreciative fan wrote: “Hotter than ever,” and another gushed: “Love how you look Kim! You are gold baby!”

However, in a possible hint that some fans think she looks more like a ρ-օ-ɾ-n star, one commented: “Giving early 2000s Kim.” Kim famously shot to fame in 2007 when a 𝑠3𝑥 tape she made with singer-actor Ray J was released, featuring footage that was recorded in 2003.

Ever since, there have been scurrilous rumours that the 𝑠3𝑥 tape was leaked by none other than Kris Jenner – aka Kimmmy K’s mother herself – in a desperate bid to gain fame and notoriety. The rumours have been fuelled by Ray J himself – as the 42-year-old singer claiming the narrative that the 𝑠3𝑥 tape was innocently leaked by a third party is a: “lie that’s been created by Kris Jenner and Kim”.

He went on to brand the tape’s release as the: “biggest lie in the industry in the history of entertainment” and that there was “a deal and a partnership” between him, Kim, and Kris to create and release the tape after he highlighted to Kim how Paris Hilton’s fame had grown when a 𝑠3𝑥 tape featuring her and producer Rick Salomon was released.

Ray J claimed to the Daily Mail: “Once I pitched the idea to her, just playing around a little bit, that’s when she jumped on the idea, talked to her mom and it was out of my hands from there.”

Meanwhile, some fans have wanted that Kim’s famous figure is not what it seems – as they have accused the star of undergoing cosmetic surgery to create an enviable body and then used clever tricks to cover up the evidence. The reality star had told fans in recent weeks that she had injured her shoulder and was reposting old photos of herself while she recovered from surgery.

But some fans accused Kim of faking injuries, with one raging online: “So didn’t this shoulder thing pop up after she was spotted at the plastic surgeon’s office? If so…what is she hiding. Because she was doing cartwheels around the time of the hurt shoulder.”

And another wrote: “I don’t think she has an injured shoulder. I think she has had some more work done on her face. She is using her “injured” shoulder as an excuse not to do selfies or show her face until the puffiness subsides or whatever work she had done to her face.”
