Kim Kardashian, on the personal front, is currently single after dating former SNL host and actor Pete Davidson for eight months. She was previously married to Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West.

Speaking of Kim Kardashian’s controversy, the social media queen ended up hurting the sentiments of Hindus as they brutally dragged her for cultural appropriation by wearing the Om symbol earrings. While sharing her pictures from her steamy photoshoot, Kim captioned the post as, “I did a photoshoot with Sita using all KKW Beauty products! Photo, styling and creatives all done by @sitabellan!” In the pictures, Kim was seen lounging on a bed while rocking the oversize silver hoops in a sheer red outfit. According to Page Six, Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, said it was “deeply trivializing” for Kim who identifies as Christian to commercialize it. On his website, he stated, “Inappropriate usage of sacred Hindu icons or deities or concepts or symbols for commercial or other agenda was not okay as it hurt the devotees” adding, “[It] was not meant to be used as a fashion statement or to become a tool for s*xy fashion.”
