CHLOE Grace Moretz is standing by her Twitter remarks made about Kim Kardashian’s nude selfie.
In March, the
35-year-old reality star claimed she had “nothing to wear” in aflashback photo of herself completely naked, and the
image struck a chord with Moretz.
“@KimKardashian I truly hope
you realise how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we
have so much more to offer than just our bodies,” she tweeted at the time.
Kardashian tweeted back:
“Let’s all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is.
Your Nylon cover is cute boo.”
The 19-year-old actress tells Glamour magazine that she “started laughing” when she
saw Kardashian’s tweet.
“I was at dinner with my
family [when] I got the notification [on my phone]. I look at it and I go, ‘Oh
my God. She responded,’” Moretz recalls.
“My mom took the most offence to it because it
was girl-on-girl hate and Kim didn’t come back with an educated response on
body confidence. It was aggressive, and also it was incorrect.”
She adds, “I don’t have 45
million followers or a TV show that follows my life, but people know who I am.
I pride myself on having opinions, and I don’t express them in snarky ways
toward people.”
Moretz is sticking to
those opinions, and says when she saw the nude selfie, she “had to say
something.”
“That picture wasn’t linked to body confidence. It wasn’t a #BodyConfidence or
#LoveWhoYouAre,” she says, quoting some of Kardashian’s later hashtags.
“It was done in a slightly
voyeuristic light, which I felt was a little inappropriate for young women to
see. I would hate for young women to feel they need to post certain photos in
order to gain likes, retweets, favourites, and male attention.”
Moretz insists, “I wasn’t slut
shaming. It’s not about body shaming.”
On Monday night, Moretz and
Kardashian narrowly missed an awkward encounter when they both hit the red
carpet at the Met Gala in New York City.
