Amber Rose has defended Kim Kardashian’s nude selfie after Pink lashed out at the image.

Rose – who once had a long running feud with the reality TV star – praised Kardashian for speaking out against “hurtful and mean” body comments on her website.

She also invited Kardashian to join her 2016 Amber Rose SlutWalk – an annual event created by Rose to create a safe space for women to tell their stories.

Alongside a naked black and white picture of Kardashian Rose posted: “And @kimkardashian I don't know u well but I saw u speak about slut shaming and as u know I'm an activist feminist so it spoke to me. Being Slut shamed and ridiculed is not fun it's hurtful and mean.

“Us women deal with it every day and I'm happy u can speak openly on this now because if anyone knows what it's like to be Slut Shamed it's u! Live it Kim! Make a difference and speak on it! Not only when it's convenient for u but when u can help others.

“Last year at my Slutwalk I told my Slut shaming story. This year I would love for u to come and tell urs. This is an open invite from me to u and ur sisters are welcomed too Let's let the naysayers know u are so much more then a sex tape (13 years ago) F**k it own it. Ur a mom and a business woman, a wife, sister and daughter. Hope we can make this happen #AmberRoseSlutWalk2016.”

Her comments came hours after she criticised Pink for telling women to use “their brains, their strength, their work ethic, their talent, their 'magic' that they were born with, that only they possess” to get attention as opposed to their bodies.

Rose called out the singer for her near-naked music videos, posting: "We've seen you damn near naked swinging from a rope (Beautifully) but what's the difference between a rope, a pole and a pic on Instagram? Classism. Because you sing while your half naked does that make it 'Classy' or is it because you have a 'talent'? (sic)."

Kardashian faced a barrage of criticism after she posted two naked selfies on Instragram. Bette Midler, Chloe Moretz and Piers Morgan were among those who slammed the image while Caroline Flack and Bella Thorne defended the pictures.
