Kim Kardashian faces criticism for advising Kanye West on Bianca Censori's attire
Kim Kardashian finds herself under scrutiny once again, this time for reportedly advising her ex-husband Kanye West to encourage his new wife, Bianca Censori, to dress more modestly around their children.
This latest controversy adds to the ongoing media attention surrounding Kardashian and her interactions with West.
Recent reports indicate that Kardashian received backlash for allegedly suggesting to West that Censori should refrain from wearing revealing attire in the presence of their shared children.
This advice comes in the wake of West facing criticism for sharing explicit images of Censori on his Instagram, a move he defended by expressing his enjoyment in showcasing his wife's pictures.
According to sources cited by the Daily Mail, Kardashian, while maintaining an amicable relationship with Censori, reportedly disapproves of her choice to wear scandalous outfits around their children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
Insiders revealed that Kardashian instructed West to ensure Censori adopts a more modest wardrobe when in the presence of their kids.
The Daily Mail reports that Kardashian herself faced similar circumstances during her marriage to West, albeit with roles reversed, as she was purportedly encouraged by West to cover up and modify her attire if he deemed it too revealing.
