Kim Kardashian: How North reacted to backlash over fake tattoos and piercings

North West is unfazed by social media critics.

Kim Kardashian recently opened up about her 12-year-old daughter North’s calm response to criticism over the faux tattoos and piercings she showcased in a TikTok video.

During a “GOAT Talk” segment with her “All’s Fair” co-star Niecy Nash-Betts, Kardashian recounted how her daughter took over her phone last month amidst a storm of negative comments.

“She wrote a reply to one comment saying, ‘This is such a non-issue,’” Kardashian, 45, shared, praising it as a “solid clapback.”

This incident was linked to Kardashian in October, a point she elaborated on in the recent discussion.

“Online, it was like, ‘Kim defends North to the end on this look,’” she noted.

While the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum did not break down her thoughts on the daring accessories, she did give context.

“Her and her girlfriends, they love doing costumes, they love doing looks,” she explained. “It’s Halloween season, so they put on fake tattoos on their face, fake piercings. They all had their colored hair.

“They looked like an opium Powerpuff Girls,” the “Kardashians” star continued. “[That’s] what they were going for.”

Kardashian did, however, defend North’s controversial fashion and beauty choices during an Oct. 15 “Call Her Daddy” podcast interview.

At the time, she told listeners it’s “really hard and really interesting” when North goes viral for her clothing, as she did in August over a corset and miniskirt.

“All the kids are wearing the same things,” Kardashian said. “But then my daughter tries to wear it and then I’m like, ‘OK, we’re never wearing that again.’ Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.”

She noted, “As a mom, you’re kind of learning at the same time. But what I do know is my baby’s such a good girl and such a sweet girl.”

Kardashian went on to ask for “a little bit of grace” since she’s “doing the best she can” raising North, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, “by [her]self.”

The Hulu personality, notably, welcomed her little ones while married to ex-husband Kanye West.

She revealed on the podcast that the rapper, 48, hadn’t called their four children “in a couple months.”
