Kim Kardashian West posed as ‘America’s New First Lady’ on the cover of Interview Magazine’s latest edition, channelling former First Lady Jackie Kennedy.

But it’s really pissed people off – so much so that she’s being accused of ‘blasphemy.’

Surprise, surprise – the reality TV Star has the people on the internet flustered and bothered again but this time it’s not because she has stripped down naked and posed with a glass of champ perfectly balanced on her infamous backside.

The cover images photographed by Steven Klein also features her daughter North West as they both embrace the elegant 60’s look in the four-year-old’s major magazine cover debut.


The former stylist proudly shared the images on her Instagram page captioning it: ‘Interview Magazine September cover!!! This photo shoot I will cherish forever as such an amazing memory with my daughter, working with the most incredible team.’



Despite the sweet moments that Kim shares in the interview, people posted hate on the internet, while some actually thought the mum and daughter duo looked incredible.

One user tweeted: ‘Even at her best, Kim Kardashian bears no resemblance to Jackie Kennedy’s eloquence, looks, or perfectionism.’

Whilst another blasted the 36-year-old for not being ‘classy’ enough to tribute the last first lady to former President John F. Kennedy.

They wrote: ‘You are not classy, at all! Jackie Kennedy had her Bachelor’s Degree.. she used her brains not her body parts’.

A third insisted that the Keeping Up With the Kardashian star would ‘never ever’ be able to replace the much loved American figure also known as Jackie O: ‘You will never ever ever ever ever replace Jackie Kennedy. EVER!’.

Many users also referred to the stunt as ‘blasphemy’.

All i'll say is @KimKardashian doing a photo shoot trying to compare herself to Jackie Kennedy is #BLASPHEMY. Jackie is a #LEGEND, Kim isnt. — Chris McDonough (@The_CJM) August 28, 2017

This is blasphemy! Kim K vs Jackie O?!There's no comparison. And why is she so "tanned"?! You know she likes to color coordinate 🙄 — Miss Britt (@Brittanne319) August 28, 2017

The social media star, who has two children with husband and rapper Kanye West, did receive some love but it was lost in a sea of criticism.

One tweeter even noted that she was a ‘great’ in comparison to the current US President’s administration.

I know a lot of people are mad about the Kim K first lady bit… But have we looked at our current admin? She looks great. -_- — Brittany M. Williams (@Ms_BMWilliams) August 28, 2017

Her interviewer, television host and transgender rights activist Janet Mock, asked about what it was like raising a ‘mixed black girl’.

Kim answered: ‘I’m very conscious of it. Kanye always has his family around and people who look like my daughter—that’s important to me.’

She added that North, who has European and African-American ancestry, loves her curly hair.

‘She’s obsessed with her curly hair, and if she finds someone who has the same hair, she runs to them and is like, “You have curly hair like me?” And we get to talk about it,’ she said.

Speaking of her sister Kourtney’s five-year-old daughter she said: ‘We also talk about it with my niece Penelope, because she and North look really different, but they’re best friends and they’re together all the time.’
