Kikar Hashabat cuts Kim Kardashian from photo
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUltra-Orthodox Jewish news website Kikar Hashabat cut Kim Kardashian — one of the world’s most photographed women — from a photo taken of her in Jerusalem this week.
The original photo of Kardashian, her husband Kanye West and Jerusalem’s Mayor Nir Barkat was altered to put Kardashian behind a restaurant receipt. Kardashian was blurred in another.
Nissim Ben Haim, an editor at Kikar Hashabat, says they removed Kardashian because she is a “pornographic symbol” who contradicts ultra-Orthodox values.
In an article chiding Barkat for dining with them at a nonkosher restaurant, Kardashian was referred to as “West’s wife.”
