Kim Kardashian accused of homophobia over Tyson Beckford insult
Just days ago Kim Kardashian was accused of celebrating anorexia when she thanked her half-sister Kendall Jenner for calling her ‘so skinny’ and sister Khloe Kardashian said her waist looked ‘anorexic.’
Now there’s a fresh controversy after Kim responded to an Instagram comment made by actor Tyson Beckford regarding the racy leather get up she wore for her Jimmy Kimmel Live! July 30 appearance.
On an Instagram post, 47-year-old actor Tyson Beckford commented “Sorry I Don’t care for it personally,” regarding her outfit and went on to accuse her of ‘botched’ cosmetic surgery with “She is not real (sic) doctor, f***ed up on her right hip.”

Kim ‘clap backed’ to his ‘body-shaming’ with the comment, “Sis we all know why you don’t care for it” with a series of emojis that include a woman painting her nails and the ‘sipping tea’ emoji.
Social media users are accusing Kim of making a homophobic slur with the use of ‘sis’ and that Kim is insinuating Tyson is in the closet.
Tyson Beckford has a 20-year-old son Jordan Beckford and has been known for several high profile heterosexual relationships including with model Shanina Shaik.
It was rude of him to insult, But why call him sis? He’s not transgender and implying he’s gay doesn’t make him a “sis”

No he didn’t say something TO her, firstly. He replied to a Shaderoom post as thousands of others did. Secondly, she tried to gay shame him. That’s more than a “clapback”, it’s homophobic and speaks to her mindset. Don’t cape for hate in my mentions.

Kim Kardashian tried to out someone as an insult today, because she wasn't content with being just being trashy and racist, she had to make sure we know she's homophobic too
