Kim Kardashian’s recent birthday celebrations sparked controversy when a photo of her sitting on the toilet surfaced online, leaving fans divided. The reality star turned 44 on October 21, and her close friend Tracy Romulus marked the occasion by sharing a series of photos on Instagram. Among them was a picture showing Kim on the toilet, a move that quickly stirred up reactions across social media.

While some fans took the cheeky post in stride, many were less than amused. In discussions on Reddit, several users expressed their disapproval, calling the image “weird” and “cringy.” One fan remarked, “Why do some people think toilet pics are cute?” while another pointed out that it was unusual for someone in their 40s to share such a photo. There was also skepticism regarding whether the photo was posted without Kim’s consent, with one commenter suggesting, “There’s no way in hell Kim’s friend posted a photo of her on the toilet without her express permission.”

The controversy over Kim’s picture wasn’t the first time a Kardashian made headlines for a bathroom-related image. Her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, had previously been photographed in a similar situation when her husband, Travis Barker, shared a candid toilet photo of her in a birthday tribute.

Tracy’s heartfelt birthday message to Kim, praising her as “the best mom, friend, [and] girl boss,” was overshadowed by the stir caused by the toilet photo. Kim herself seemed unfazed by the backlash, responding humorously to the post by saying, “OMG these pics! It’s the peeing one for me lol LOVE YOU forever your ride or die.”

The situation highlights how even casual, humorous moments involving celebrities can spark debate about what is appropriate to share publicly, particularly when it involves intimate or private settings. This incident has reignited conversations about social media boundaries and the blurred lines of privacy in the lives of celebrities.
