AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian has broken silence amid speculations regarding her Tesla Robot photo shoot that landed in hot water. A representative for "The Kardashians" star set the record straight about claims she was paid by Tesla's owner for the photos.
Speaking to The New York Times, a rep for the 44-year-old said that the latter didn't receive a financial compensation for them. The revelation was included in an article discussing whether Kim is supporting president-elect Donald Trump with her friendship with Elon.
Earlier this month, Kim made headlines after posting on her Instagram account a series of intimate photos of her with the robot, which she called her "boyfriend," inside an unreleased gold Tesla Cyberstruck. The photos, which was a campaign for her latest Balenciaga collaboration, featured the mom of four holding hands with the robot.
Another photo, meanwhile, saw Kim, who donned a pair of sheer Balenciaga leggings and a black puffy bomber jacket with no shirt underneath, cuddling the automaton. Not stopping there, the "American Horror Story: Delicate" star was also pictured sitting on the robot's lap while in the front seat of the car.
The photos immediately earned Kim trolling. "I hate this for mankind." Another wrote, "Sorry Kim, you're not gonna normalise this weird behaviour for us we don't want this!" Someone else penned, "I'm wondering how much tesla and elon had to fork out to get Kim to do this."
Prior to that, Kim was also slammed for flaunting her robot in an X video. Some people even accused her of supporting Trump by revealing her connection with Elon, who is a vocal Trump supporter.
Meanwhile, the relationship between the former wife of Kanye West and Elon might be deeper than what people think. According to a recent report, they're planning to go on a date after the 53-year-old businessman allegedly slid into the beauty mogul's Twitter DMs a few months ago.
"It was just some flirty messages. Kim was [intrigued] by the messages, and she allowed the conversation to progress," an alleged pal of Kim spilled at the time. Elon eventually mustered the courage to ask her out for a date and the SKIMS founder agreed to meet him. Details regarding place and time are still unknown.
