Kim Kardashian sat down with Big Boy’s 92.3 Los Angeles radio show to discuss her recent feud with Tyson Beckford, during which she chose to make take a homophobic dig at the model after he made a rude comment about her body.
It all started last week when Beckford made an admittedly snarky remark about Kim’s physique in a photo of her on Instagram.
“Sorry I Don’t care for it personally,” he wrote in the comments under @amiradyme’s post. “She is not real, doctor f*cked up on her right hip.”
The Trump-supporting reality star clapped back, “Sis we all know why you don’t care for it,” implying that Beckford is gay.
Kimberly’s homophobic comment didn’t go over so well with the masses.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Kim Kardashian, you're questioning Tyson Beckford's sexuality, like being "gay" is something evil. How about you worry about your husband mental health because you should be more concerned about his well being than if someone is gay. The nerve of this woman. Not today Kimberly.

Tyson Beckford didn't need to make that comment. Kim Kardashian, surrounded by queer people, revealed her homophobia.

Disgusted by @KimKardashian and her homophobic clapback at Tyson Beckford insinuating he’s gay. Stop using someone being gay as an insult. Your point is moot anyway because being gay is not an insult. My #LGBT friends are amazing! If only closed minds came with closed mouths.

Speaking to Big Boy, Kim refused to entertain the idea that maybe, just maybe, her comments were homophobic.
“Really, dude? Like, you’re going to body-shame me? Like, okay, okay, okay sis,” she said. “When I choose to clap back I don’t do it to people who I know are just looking for the come-up. I want to say something so badly. I’ll end you.”
She continued, “People were sending me stuff on his page, he keeps on going and going and going, and I’m just like, ‘dude, that’s so female lame’ that’s just lame to me. And for anyone to say that I am homophobic with the comment of saying ‘sis’?”
Then came the real kicker.
“All my best friends are gay,” Kim said. “I support the community. I love the community, they love me, that has nothing to do with this.”
Ah, yes. The old “my best friend is [insert minority group here]” excuse. Works every time.
Watch. Or don’t.

Kim seems to have the same problem that so many straight girls hanging out with gay people get. They think that because they go out dancing with their friends, hang out with them, chat with them, etc.. that they have some sort of honorary LGBT card that absolves them of any insensitivity.
By Kim’s logic that would mean that going over to a friends house who was black means you could say racist things but it’s ok because you guys had nachos and beer together.
Beckford mocked her appearance so I get she’s salty about it and has the right to be, but she said it, she got called out, time for her to swallow her pride, admit it and move on.

Please delete Lucas Olofsson’s account.
You delete comments that are amusing and only slightly snarly, and yet do nothing about the constant spamming that is in direct and obvious violation of the terms of use by promoting commercial websites in comments!
Come on guys, you have folks that monitor these boards!!!
Tell them to do their job!

I’m not a KK fan, but I’m confused. I don’t see her comment as homophobic. It was a dig for sure, but so what? He insulted KK out of nowhere. He went online and body shamed her… So she quipped back and insinuated that she knows why he’s not into her pic/body (AKA he’s queer).
I’m queer and I wasn’t offended at all. It’s interesting and convenient that no one is mentioning his body shaming not to be an issue.

Because it’s not really body shaming when the parts are manufactured. If anything, he’s insulting the work of her plastic surgeon(s).

Her retort to Tyson wasn’t neccesarily homophobic, more juvenile. While Tyson’s initial comments were uncalled for. They both just looked like attention desperate, fragile idiots to me. However, people have got to stop using the “I have friends that are so and so therefore I’m not prejudice”. Haven’t there been enough jokes about that to stop people from saying that sincerely? Liking to be surrounded by effeminate men as your lackeys and confidants doesn’t equate to not being homophobic. You still may see gay men as beneath you, as lesser than. You still may harbor resentment or a lack of respect. And gays “love you”? Lordy.
This was a nothing story and many people (including gay men) defended her, but she just had to say somethin’ dumb.

I can’t be homophobic. The gays love me. She sounds as conceited as her dipshit husband.
Vince
I really don’t get it. Such an easy thing to say I’m sorry. I was stupid to say that. Really shows you how out of touch these people are.

To all those calling Ms. Kim homophobic, I’ll say this: If the shoe fits, wear it b****. That post she wrote wasn’t an attack on the gay community, and yet some people’s huge ego still managed to get offended.
Heywood Jablowme
Yes — much as I hate her, that’s an extremely minor remark to get offended by… or rather to PRETEND to get offended by. Faux outrage is the modern way of doing things.
Arguably, Beckford original remark was worse. We’re always lectured nowadays about how “body shaming” is supposedly bad. (Even if someone paid a lot to create the defective body in question, lol.)
Jim
Kim should know, she married a gay guy!
Jack Meoff
LMAO I was waiting for someone to say that

Why should we care about this publicity whore? The whole family should be ignored.
QueerTruth
LOL. Get a grip. They are the most followed, watched influential celebrities on the planet. That’s not happening anytime soon.
tham
She’s so fake…don’t get mad at me…some of my best friends are douchey plastic dolls.
Jack Meoff
Can’t we put anyone with the names Kardashian or Jenner and all related hangers on on a one way trip to space. The world would be a better place without their influence.
DuMaurier
I guess in some cases ‘offensive’ is a case of, I know it when I see it, I feel it if I feel it. I thought it was just a catty comeback, which–and this is pretty crucial, I think–she was playing off the fact that gay rumors have followed Beckford for years and he’s always denied it. So maybe it was a semi-outing thing.
ShowMeGuy
HAHAHAHAHA Kim Kardashian doesn’t have any best friends.
dinard38
I have no use for Kim Kardashian, but come on people!!!!! The term ‘homophobia’ is thrown around so much that it’s lost its impact. I never liked the term.
Tyson made a rude, uncalled for comment and Kim replied in kind. Nothing more.
So tired of the ‘outrage’.
queerty02
how can it be considered body shaming if it isn’t her natural body? its not like she just happens to have wide hips. she’s a billionaire, and paid a plastic surgeon to do that to her.
moonwalker_jd
We can do with our own body whatever we please. If someone decides to have plastic surgery (which in her case would be justified given she had two very difficult pregnancies), that doesn’t mean it’s OK to body shame just because, according to you, they are already body shaming themselves so it’s not even considered body shaming. That’s the bully’s rationale, trying to normalize abusing behavior. Plus this site calling Kim homophobic just proves someone’s funding is going to waste.
Brian
Going a step further to say “all” her best friends are gay – and that’s what makes it such an obvious lie. Her life has been on television for years, so we’ve all seen plenty of evidence. She’s just a dumb bigot.
Johnny5
Let this be a lesson to you that homophobia still exists even in California. LGBTs are the most targeted group for hate crimes in America. That’s why we should go out in pairs and be aware of our surroundings.
Ronbo
Queerty: we are gay, not stupid. I won’t come back for more of your publicity whores.

Anybody who thinks Any of the Kardashian’s r homophobes is crazy and totally reaching.
