Kim Kardashian is not shy about her body or sharing it with the world, particularly in the form of bikini, lingerie and nude photos on her Instagram.
But the 38-year-old has revealed that her husband Kanye West isn’t so supportive of her exhibitionist attitude.
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Kim told the host that the rapper gets “upset” over her revealing photos.
When Ellen asked about a photo Kim posted in August of her sunbaking in her underwear, she admitted she only took it to share with her followers.
“That outfit I probably had under sweats, but sometimes you gotta do some things for the ‘gram — for the Instagram,” she said.
“You can get in trouble with your husband, sometimes, over too many photos like that.”
Ellen asked Kim if those photos “bother” the 41-year-old.
“Yeah it does,” Kim said.
“It’s like half and half because he always wants me to be me and feel confident and we’re having fun, but it also bothers him. I go through waves.
“Sometimes I’m like, ‘OK, I’ll be more conservative on my Instagram,’ and then sometimes I really have to get something out if I’m feeling good about myself or if I’ve been working out really hard and then I’ll post something and he’ll get upset. It’s a cycle.”
Kim discussed such a fight on-camera during an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians last month.
In this case, it wasn’t about the content so much as the location, with Kim telling sister Khloe Kardashian that her husband had gotten angry when she posted a photo from the beach instead of the hotel.
“I’m like, ‘I like the beach ones’ and he’s like ‘no! You don’t understand, I see the vision,'” she recounted.
“I’m like it’s my Instagram, you’re not going to tell me what to post, that’s like the one thing, no one will tell me what to post.”
Of course, there was a time Kanye was on board with all the Instagram photos his partner posted, sexy or otherwise.
Back in 2013 when Kim (I think we can give her credit for this) invented the ‘belfie’ with a photo of her from behind in a white, high cut bikini, Kanye shared the image on Twitter with the caption: “HEADING HOME NOW”.
Yeah.
But he also shared how proud he was of his then-fiancee for her global influence. Speaking on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show a short time later, he took issue with those who had said at the time Kim should not have been invited to Vogue’s Met Ball.
“She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like every day,” he said.
“No one is looking at what [then-President] Obama is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.”

It's hard to believe that the dogged pursuit of such empty shallowness has paid off so handsomely for KK and her family. But, here we are.The odd selfie is OK, but cheez, mix it up. If you're in everything that goes up to Instagram, I think that you need to re-assess your need for the sugar rush that likes bring.
I do recognise that KK is now in a situation where posting selfies is a commercial imperative, but if that isn't the case, maybe chill a little.
My sensibilities on this matter seem to have been left in society's rear view mirror, but they can be summed up thus:
Get your freaking hand off it.
It's not restricted to women, to give you an example, I was curious as to the bloke that the Veronica chick hooked up with after Ruby Rose and stalked his Insta.
What a study in self-absorption and vanity, starting with his handle:
