Kim Kardashian posts IG photo of her allegedly toned abs: do you believe her?

Kim Kardashian posted this photo on her Instagram yesterday, claiming that it was post-workout. Do you believe her? Do you believe the woman who warps her selfies to subtract inches from her waist? Do you believe the woman who consistently lies about her dress size? The thing is… I kind of believe that these photos haven’t seen two hours of post-production. I think she’s just doing the old-fashioned gut-suck. Quick, take my picture, I can’t hold in my stomach anymore! We all have abs when we do that. She might as well lay flat on her back and take a photo of her abs that way. “Look at my flat stomach, yay atkins xo kim.”

Anyway, remember how Kanye gave Kim a “wall of flowers” for Mother’s Day, because every young mother wants to celebrate the joy of life by watching a giant flower installation wilt and die within a week? Kim posted a bunch of photos of the wall of flowers on her IG, and she also included a little video where you can hear IgNori (who is not yet one year old) say “dada” to the wall of flowers, which… okay, is adorable. Even more amusing? According to Us Weekly’s sources, IgNori has been saying “dada” a lot lately… but IgNori still hasn’t said “mama”. I bet she’s said “nana” and “Lucifer’s Homegirl” though.

    Ha ha ha ha ha, no not a chance.

    If I’m not mistaken I’ve heard “da-da” is an easier sound for a child to make than “ma-ma”. My first word was “da-da” and he was a douche who was rarely there.

    • Melly says:

      Same here.
      Dada is much easier for a child to pronounce than mama, that’s why most kids say dada before mama. Also, a young child might say dada or mama without knowing exactly who or what they are referring to

      • Katttt says:

        You’re absolutely right, its babbling and making sound combinations and nothing more – she likely has no concept that those sounds have any correlation to anything around her, she is simply too young. My daughter started making those sounds at that age and it takes another few months for it to become meaningful. I studied and teach linguistics and the general rule is that before 12 months most children say very little of meaning, despite what parents might like to think.

      • Melly says:

        If Nori’s dad taught her how to say “dada” then IT WOULD BE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW KANYE WEST COMMUNICATES HIS GENIUS TO THE WORLD.

    • Dani2 says:

      +1 To everything, Blue.

    • swack says:

      +1 to blu and melly. Said before, when she turns to Kanye and say dada in a meaningful way then I will believe she is doing more than make a sound.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I could believe the pics are real with that lighting and some ol’ fashioned ‘sucking in’. My stomach can look amazing in the right light. Under fluorescent lighting however, shit gets REAL.

      Can I just say that 90% of my female friends on Facebook have young kids and/or babies and NONE are posting selfies of their stomach. Ain’t got time for that sh*t plus their lives revolve around their kids, not their diets/workouts.

      • Crank says:

        She’s totally sucking in, and the light/dark background increases. As a guy who has gone from a little bit of flab to abs, it took 6+ months. There’s no way she’s got abs since her last photoshopped stomach selfie. NOTE: I understand everybody’s body is different and it would probably take many only a month to achieve what I did, but DEFINITELY not Kim. She’s got too many fake body parts and seems too lazy to be active enough to get abs…sorry.

      • Crank says:

        Sorry to double post, but my phone is refusing to let me edit. Just a few more realizations…
        1. The black background is obviously there so we can’t see if there’s any warping from Photoshop.
        2. She’s stopping the pic right above her hooha…which suggests to me that she could have photoshopped the waist, but it could have made her hooha and huge hips/ass seem even bigger from it.

      • Bridget says:

        @OKitt: I absolutely loved the side by side photos Lauren Fleishman (a professional runner, specializing in the 5k), at the time only a few months post-partum, posted of herself – 1 was of her walking in the Oiselle Fashion show, looking completely ripped (“turbo flexing” was how she put it) and the other was a track meet a short period of time later, with a little more belly and a lot less flexing. It was nice to see someone who does something active for a living say ‘look, bodies don’t necessarily just bounce back after a baby and its OKAY’.

        Also, there’s a great photo series drifting around the internet of ways to fudge Before and After pictures.

      • littlestar says:

        Crank – that’s what I thought too!!! Black background means we can’t tell for sure that there’s photo shop done to the picture.

        Who does this woman think she is fooling? And I agree OKit, after a certain age/motherhood, selfies are just SAD.

        Btw, when someone else takes a picture of you and you post them to social media, is that considered a selfie? Because sometimes I get my husband to take a picture of me and I post it to my Facebook (like a picture of me running a race or something) for my family and friends to see :S. Maybe I’m a hypocrite and I don’t even know it!

      • Fan says:

        Normal non-narcissistic people don’t have the time or desire to post a daily selfie!! Sometimes I just think WTF about those Kardashians.

      • Michelle says:

        Look at her neck. You can tell from the tightness at the bottom of the neck that she is sucking in/holding her breath. Try it in the mirror or touch your neck when you do it, it does the same thing.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        “Under fluorescent lighting however, shit gets REAL.”

        lol, I feel ya’ TOK. Fluorescent lighting is the devil. I think my bf thought that I was a super romantic when we first got together because I always lit candles for happy-naked-time…when really, it was just because candle light is the most flattering! I’m so vain, so vain.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Oh me too Tiffany! No direct, harsh overhead lighting in my bedroom..only lamps and lanterns. LOL

    • Dani says:

      Sadly dada is easier and usually first. My 8 month old has been saying it for 2 months already. I change her and feed her and shower her and spend most of my time with her and she says dada first….that little traitor!!! hahaha

      • Lady D says:

        LOL. Felt the same way Dani, oh and guess who he smiled at first too? 4:00 in the morning, dead tired changing my 3 month old, he hears his dad’s voice and smiles at him. I started crying. I was really tired.

      • Dani says:

        Been there hahah nothing worse than coming home from work dead tired and they;re barely excited to see you but when daddy gets home it’s a scream fest till he picks her up. Not cool.

    • LilyT says:

      Yes, I’m a speech therapist and stop consonants (like d and b) are often the first to develop and are paired with vowels in early babbling (bababa, dada).

      Nasal Consonants are also rather early sounds (m and n)

      However, the fact that she said “dada” while looking at the wall of flowers does not indicate she has any idea what the word “dada” means and is likely just babbling.

    • kri says:

      No. I wouldn’t believe this woman if she told me her name was Kim Kardashian.

    • Yikes says:

      Maybe she has a Manny.

  2. Ag says:

    no, i don’t believe kim.

    babies say “dada” WAY earlier than “mama,” it’s much easier for them to do “d’s” than it is “m’s” – so i wouldn’t ascribe that to anything other than normal baby development. having said that, no, i don’t believe for a second that either one of them is a hands-on parent.

    • Jules says:

      She is so self-absorbed, she probably heard ‘mama’. She had that baby to use to garner more attention.

    • Rice says:

      Don’t believe her either. Her left side (our right) looks technologically altered.

      I don’t have kids but I’ve heard tots say “dada” as their first word. Whether it’s daddy or baby gibberish, I don’t know.

      • Ag says:

        it’s starts as gibberish, and then acquires the proper meaning after a few months. 🙂

      • LilyT says:

        Yep! Most often, it’s baby gibberish when children first make those sounds, it’s called reduplicated babbling. It’s when kids make the same consonant vowel combos over and over (bababa dadada)

        That said IF (and it’s a huge if) Kim and Kanye were involved parents, children can eventually learn that the sounds they are producing have meaning. For example, when a child babbles “dada” and the mother points to the father and repeats the child i.e. “Yes, that’s dada!”

        Eventually the child learns “dada” is meaningful and not just something you say when you see a perplexing and fug wall of flowers.

      • Ag says:

        @LilyT – haha!

      • Rice says:

        @LilyT – LMFAO!

  3. Melly says:

    ABS OF LIES

    • Frida_K says:

      and wall of quinoa.

      (still laughing at those roses…I swear, the arrangement looks all bubbly and like a wall of quinoa to me…!)

    • Petee says:

      I can’t believe this woman and how many pictures she takes of herself.It is completely insane.I don’t think she works out.I think she just sucked in her stomach and had her make up person do some shading.I saw Mariah Carey years ago in Vegas and it was obvious she had done the same type of thing to make her look like she was in some sort of shape.

    • Melly says:

      Everything about this family is phony, grandiose, and self serving. The lack of taste is just astonishing, these people are incredibly wealthy and yet they are unable to do ANYTHING that’s even CLOSE to classy or elegant. I’m not an refined lady (I’d live in a tshirt, jeans, and sandal if I could) but if you gave me money to look nice, I’d outclass this yatch any day of the week.
      The wall of roses is ridiculous, but it would have looked better if there was a variety of colors. And omg @Frida_k, you are totally right! It looks like a wall of white quinoa!

    • MonicaQ says:

      Look at the sides of her stomach where it meets black–it’s jagged and low resolution. She’s taken that “line” and pulled it. On her right she used the burn and blur tool to smooth it out but on her left, she used too much of the sharpening tool and made it look harsh. Smart though taking it in front of a black curtain though.

      5/10.

    • Dawn says:

      I agree with everyone, you can’t believe a word she says ever. Everything is smoke and mirrors with this krew and it seems to work with a certain segment of the population. I think Kim is more than just a narcissist, I also think she is a sociopath because nothing ever touches her really. It’s like she learned how to express certain emotions at certain times and she just isn’t a good actress! Yuk.

    • ~Z~ says:

      To match her THRONE of LIES!

      • Melly says:

        And her sisters ASS OF LIES
        Lying is an ancient and sacred Kardashian tradition

  4. sarah says:

    “da da” before 1 is pretty normal. My son is 14 months and he was babbling “da da” well before “ma ma” too. I think it’s an easier sound for some kids.

  5. BeckyR says:

    There is something fundamentally wrong with someone who spends so much time taking pictures of herself. How do you spell NARCISSIST?

    • HappyMom says:

      I agree. How self absorbed do you have to be to put out pictures of your stomach??

      • MonicaQ says:

        Can you please come to my fb feed because if I see one more “Post baby bodeee day 398!” and a shot of a six pack I might die.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Wow really, MonicaQ?
        I guess I’m lucky then because NONE of my FB friends do that shit. I wonder if it’s a generational thing? At 35 years old, most of my friends aren’t of the social networking era so maybe they’re just not as comfortable with that stuff.

        I would block those chicks with a quickness though.

    • Miffy says:

      So true. The question shouldn’t be ‘Do you believe her?’ It should be ‘Do you even care?’

      Kanye is trying so hard to rebrand her as something more impressive than she is, you’d think Victoria Beckham might be a good template? She’s gone from cheesy popstar to footballer’s wife to a designer in her own right. Any photos she posts are work related, shoots, project meetings, etc, etc. But no. Kim is posting shots of her gut and a flower arrangement.

    • pirategirl says:

      I have girlfriends on fb who do this same thing, take tons of pictures of the abs & butt after working out at the gym, its very annoying. And alot of them are in their underwear. I’m all for people getting healthy, but they really don’t need to post all that every day on facebook. And don’t forget instagram. Maybe it is a generation thing, I’m 32.

  6. Loopy says:

    We don’t believe anything these people do, she has been out of attention for a couple of day, oh how i wish SolangeGate happened right after their wedding.

    • Don't Even Get Me Started... says:

      I was just thinking how nice the Jay-Z/Bey thing was taking the spotlight off her fame-whoring. But the day after their sham “marriage” would have been ideal. I’d love for some big world event (non-tragic) to happen that day so no one covers that nonsense. <>> uh they’re the WORST. And the abs? Airbrushed makeup to hell and back…just like every other part of her.

  7. The Wizz says:

    It’s usually months of difference in age between dada and mama is said.

  8. Dash says:

    I’m weirdly obsessed with her Insta video. Just the fact that she filmed it herself, and somehow got North to say dada at the right time, and then her weird voice over at the end. Weren’t the E camera crew available?!

  9. Nick says:

    Kanye must pay or is nicer to the nannies than Kim otherwise it would be the other way around.

  10. NewWester says:

    I guess Kim was getting annoyed at all the attention Beyoncé and JayZ were getting and had to turn the spotlight back on her. We all know the sun rises and sets because of her

  11. bsh says:

    Ha! No. I can ‘fake’ abs in picture as well, everyone can do it. it’s not even voluntary sometimes. Depending on the pose/posture and the light, I can look super toned or super saggy and bloated. I mean, if you don’t have MUCH extra weight on your stomach area, by playing with light and shades you can easily pass for a fitness teacher.

  12. Elisabeth says:

    I’ll bet these are three of 193284932432432 that were taken

  13. Shijel says:

    Yeah, why not. I was always on the soft side when I was lifting heavy at the gym – slender by weight (48 kilos at 5’2ft) but it’s just how I was built. Small bones and soft figure. Under that squishy layer of fat there were pretty decent abs and they showed the way just like hers do. But then all my fat congregated in my backside and thighs and upper arms and formed a cult of self-hatred while my belly remained pretty flat, so. It just depends where you store your fat, even when you’re as… lush, as Kim is. That said, she’s definitely flexing . Achieving visible abs that stay there at all times is difficult for anyone whose body fat percentage is above 19%.

    And yes, da-da is easier to say for a kid who’s just learning to say than ma-ma as the letter m’s formation is a bit more difficult. No surprises there.

    Can’t believe of K-apologetic my post sounds.

  14. mkyarwood says:

    I always get plants for Mother’s Day — of the living variety. We have a little Mother’s corner garden going now full of strawberries and lavender, etc. I’ve never understood cut flowers as a symbol of affection, really. Love you, here’s some SLOW DEATH.

    • Petee says:

      My sisters always get flowers for my Mom.I never do.Like you said they just die.I am taking her out for a nice dinner to her favorite restaurant.Seems more personal to me.And I think that wall has just scared me of ever getting flowers for anyone.What a dumb gift.It is right up there with the horrible purse he gave her.Just because it cost a lot does not make it nice Kanye.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      OMG, I love this comment, “Love you, here’s some SLOW DEATH.”

      I had to have a talk with my BF and let him know to never buy me flowers. Don’t waste money on something I can’t use and that will just slowly perish. You phrased it so well!

  15. The Original G says:

    Trolling for an Atkins endorsement. Clueless.

  16. QQ says:

    What is there to believe? That a vapid twat that spends all her time gymming and dieting and has her self value wrapped around her body has a good one? Ooooohh

    IgNori is gonna learn all her Nannies and the Jenner Names before she learns to say Kim or Mom….shit, at this rate she’ll learn to say QQ first cause im gonna make it a point to spend more time with her

    • Nicolette says:

      LOL!

    • Nicolette says:

      Nori is a smart baby, she’s not going to bother with saying Mama. She’s going to bust out a full sentence to Kim with “Who the hell are you?”

    • Anna says:

      Can we stop calling North “Ignori”? It’s not cute or funny it’s just mean. If you guys want to make jokes about that maybe call Kim and Kanye something different, but Nori hasn’t done anything and its rude to call her that.

      • OriginalCrystal says:

        Where does the IgNori thing come from anyway ? Is it supposed to be funny ? I don’t get it.

      • TG says:

        @Anna – I certainly won’t stop calling her IgNori. It isn’t a dig at the baby it is an insult to the mom who deserves it IMO.

  17. TG says:

    I don’t see what is not to believe here. Her middle section looks large and just one scoop of ice cre away from fat so I don’t think any photoshopping is going on here, otherwise she would have slimmed that wide waist and hips.

    • Petee says:

      Those hips will never go away.Unless she undoes the work she had done there.I doubt it because that would admit she has been lying about her body.We all know better Kim.

  18. JudyK says:

    Who cares about her damned abs one way or another…

    Most moms post IG photos of their babies, but, of course, North is NOT #1–Kim’s self love is.

  19. aenflex says:

    ‘Shopped.

  20. Ellie66 says:

    It looks like a giant rice crispy treat. What a waste of flowers. Does she spent anytime with that baby? Or just when the cameras are around.

  21. Jh says:

    You have to be a first class narcissist to post an “ab selfie.” I feel so embarrassed for her.

    • dorothy says:

      Totally with you on that one. That’s one insecure woman.

    • idk says:

      I think a butt selfie is worse…either way this girl is way too into herself. I guess this is how she plans on erasing racism and advocating for women’s rights?

  22. cro-girl says:

    Kim has a relatively flat stomach, its everything else that isn’t. That’s also not the most flattering picture as her hips look wider than her boobs and her waist looks kind of thick despite being toned. I believe its a relatively accurate photo.

  23. Jag says:

    If you look closely – and I can’t believe that I did – it looks like the lines on her stomach are airbrushed on. Like how they gave Sparkles abs for the Twilight movie part where he took off his shirt. Of course it might not be airbrushed tanner, but rather photoshop editing, too.

    So no, I don’t believe that those are her toned abs at all. lol

    • MonicaQ says:

      It’s the burn tool in photoshop, that’s all. Probably at 30-35% and 6-10 pixels wide followed by a 80% strength blur tool.

    • Petee says:

      Yep.Agree with you both.

    • Jackie says:

      It looks like she has a square drawn on her abdomen with contouring cream or whatever.

    • Miss5280 says:

      I agree!!! She is a huge fan of contouring, so it’s not much of a stretch to think her “toned abs” have been drawn on.

  24. BendyWindy says:

    Notice how she posed in front of a solid black background? It’s so we can’t notice warped doors and walls. I say she’s still doing smoke and mirrors.

    As for Nori, many babies say dada before they say mama. That’s totally normal. I’m actually shocked that my 8 month old said mama first. Of 3 kids, she’s the only one.

    • kcarp says:

      My 2 1/2 year old said dada first. I am leaps and bounds #1 with her it is just easier to say dada first.

      Probably IgNoris’ nannny is name Danielle or something and that is what she is really saying.

  25. MediaMaven says:

    Those abs are 1% hard work, 70% tan spray contouring, 20% Photoshop and 9% delusion.

  26. Gabrielle says:

    My son is 8 months and he says “Dada”, ” hi” and “Ed”. We don’t know anyone named Ed.

  27. truthful says:

    This whole post makes me laugh so loud!!!

  28. capepopsie says:

    I like the wall of flowers! If anybody gave me that, I would love them forever!!

    • DaniLakes DDS says:

      You’re the 1st person I’ve seen say that. I quite like the arrangement too! I see it as just a more interesting way than a bouquet to give a bunch of flowers.

  29. Eleonor says:

    My mum is still furious with me because my first word ever was dad 😀

  30. idk says:

    What a life. Take pics of yourself all day, photoshop them, put them on the internet and wait for your fans to tell you how “amazing” you look. There is no way any new mother has this much time on her hands, no way. This woman will be 34 this year…when is she going to grow up?

  31. idk says:

    Brag much?

    God just imagine the videos she’ll be posting once she moves into her new mansion….nothing but bragging.

  32. msw says:

    If Jesus himself came down from the heavens and proclaimed this selfie was untouched, I wouldn’t believe it.

    I hate that so many people idolize this fake, utterly superficial, egotistical person.

    • ~Z~ says:

      Jesus wants nothing to do with her….That’s why she has Yeesus….God of ego!

    • idk says:

      She has a lot of followers on twitter but how many of those followers actually like her? I think a lot of people follow her just to mock her and laugh at her ridiculousness.

  33. gg says:

    Good grief, that thing looks like a panel stolen off of a float and they missed the good part with an actual, I dunno, DESIGN on it. It looks more like a wall of popcorn.

    It’s really easy to make your stomach look flat – just disable the flash in a dark room. Does anyone really care if anybody else’s stomach is flat anyway? Stupid, insipid people these Dumyes.

    • littlestar says:

      Best point on this thread. Why does Kim think everyone gives a sh*t that her stomach is “flat”?

  34. Amanda_M87 says:

    Oh please. She’s probably doughier than the Pillsbury mascot.

    • Petee says:

      No she does not work out.When you do see her going to the gym she has a face full of make up on all the time.She is no Jessica Biel who you can tell works out.

  35. Jessica says:

    I can’t see the IG pictures on Celebitchy anymore??? Not just on this article but others too.. someone help!

  36. shellybean says:

    I am so sick of her constant selfies. I swear she only takes pictures of herself or posts pictures of herself. She’s obsessed with herself. Memememememememe LOOK AT ME. She’s ridiculous.

  37. Dragonlady sakura says:

    Between Kim’s abs and Mariah Carey’s new slimmed down album cover, photoshop is officially busted!

  38. ann says:

    it’s total ab makeup. Just like what Britney did for her MTV performance a few years ago. You can totally see where the make up that makes fake ab lines lol begins and ends. She’s soooooo completely gross and so sad. Who posts belly selfies???? what a freak

  39. Marny says:

    Not a fan of hers at all but it seems pretty rude to make fun of her kid’s name.

  40. The Original Mia says:

    So narcissistic. So insecure.

  41. Joanna says:

    Wow I had no idea u could do all that w photoshop

  42. Jayna says:

    Oh, Kimmie, you never disappoint. Selfies like these will always show why you are budget, never class, no matter what ball you get invited to because of Kanye.

  43. Caz says:

    Oh Kaiser you had me at Nori already saying Lucifer’s homegirl. I’m still laughing 5 mins after reading that 🙂

    Nori’s first word would have been “nanny”.

    We all know Kim picked up her child just to take that photo…photos, several done to make sure she looked her best (Kim not Nori) and then handed her back to whoever is actually caring for her.

  44. OriginalCrystal says:

    They’re barely abs so i’m not sure why it’s so hard to believe that they are real. Apart from her diaper ass she has a pretty bangin’ body.

    North is a really cute child.

  45. snowflake says:

    yes, i believe her, just like i believe in santa claus and the easter bunny

  46. Mew says:

    Love how the picture is grainy, but her stomach area is smoot as is her belly button, as if almost erased/ blurred. I think there’s makeup and photoshop in play with this.

  47. H.E.H. says:

    People do care, that’s what’s so sad. Some girls see that as “inspiring.” Yeezus Christ. The E! News clip said she was looking sexy in her sport bra after a workout…um, no. She pulled her shirt up over her boobs, sucked in, and snapped a pic. Then cropped out her love handles and made a collage of her lies.

  48. Vilodemeanus says:

    The wall of flowers died in a day or two, it’s hit triple digits out in Calabassas, unless she put them inside they are in the trash. Happy Mom’s day! As for the abs, no she just paid for photoshop rather than do it her usual homemade style that a 5 year old can tell was ‘shopped. Dear God she just gets more pathetic with each passing day. Get another nose job so your upper lip doesn’t look like a 6 lane freeway on your face instead of desperately posting selfies. Ignori can’t say Mama to Kim because that’s what she calls the nannies, and it’s not nice to confuse babies.
