‘No need for butt pads, everyone has seen my butt naked’ – Kim Kardashian defends rumours

The 35-year-old reality star's butt was pictured as appearing to be supported by a pad

Popularly known for her penchant for baring her naked body to the public, Kim Kardashian has laughed off recent claims that she uses a pad to make her butt appear bigger than normal.

While leaving sister Khloe's birthday hangout at Dave & Busters in LA on Monday, the 35-year-old reality star’s butt was pictured as appearing to be supported by a pad, sparking suggestions that her glorified butt isn’t real after all.

Kim however, took to her website to explain reasons for the support.

‘A couple years ago, I wore a skirt in Miami that was totally sheer. I had no idea it was SO see-through on my butt,’ she wrote, attaching a photo of the look she was referring to which indeed showed much of her anatomy.

‘I definitely never want that to happen again, so now I always wear shapewear. Sometimes, they have a sheer cutout like these capris from Body Wrap, so that’s actually what you’re seeing in the picture at the top.’

‘So, the fact is: I don’t wear butt pads! At this point, I think everyone has seen my butt naked and knows I don’t need them, LOL!’ she concluded
