9. Kim Kardashian – “Breaking the Internet”
Kim Kardashian’s famous Paper Magazine photoshoot in 2014 pretty much achieved its goal of breaking the Internet. While many people applauded Kardashian for her boldness to own her sexuality after becoming a mother, some were upset that people deemed the shoot “history making” and iconic, as it is an imitation of a identical photo taken by Jean Paul Goude that was embedded in racist undertones.
The original photo was featured in a book called Jungle Fever, which was a racist manifestation of Jean Paul Goude’s fetishization of black women.
