Kim Kardashian was spotted in a Los Angeles last week while taking a break from shooting her Super Bowl announcement video for Usher, who is headlining the upcoming February 2024 Halftime Show. The reality star, 42, donned a snug white crop top with short sleeves, baggy ripped jeans, a sparkling vintage Chanel necklace, and a pink quilted purse from the French fashion house.
Paparazzi captured pictures of Kardashian chatting on her phone and smiling in a parking lot. However, a Reddit thread has emerged, with fans and users questioning the authenticity of the photos and labeling them as “staged” and “embarrassing.” The thread, titled, “Kim Is Still Living in 2007 With These “Candid Paparazzi” Photos,” was created by user @Savings-Barber4695 on September 25th, just days after the shots went public.
Are These New Paparazzi-Snapped Pics Of Kim Kardashian Staged? Some Fans Think So
"Just candidly laughing by an hvac truck in a parking lot.. right… so relatable," one Redditor wrote in the thread as another added: "You’re almost 43!! Give up the cool girl pick me s—t. My god" One other chimed in: "I can’t believe these are real. Like this is embarrassing for your soul Kimberly." One user commented: "What are we being deflected from here with these fake as hell pap shots" as another noted: "Ugh she's so embarrassing my God I'm cringing so f—g hard."
This also isn't the first time that the SKIMS founder has faced accusations of staging paparazzi photos, editing or digitally altering her own photos, or other actions that some people have deemed "ingenuine" and "cringey."
Kardashian donned this exact outfit for her appearance in a new video that helped inform Usher that he was chosen as the 2024 Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show performer.
The Grammy winner, 44, will take the stage in February of next year, performing at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. In the new video, Kardashian announced that the "My Boo" will take center stage as the featured performer for Apple Music's halftime show.
While donning a stylish vintage Chanel necklace (similar to the one Margot Robbie wore in the Barbie movie), Kardashian looked effortlessly chic in a white cropped T-shirt while her makeup was flawlessly applied. The clip captured her phoning Usher to let him know about his upcoming gig.

"It's Kim," Kardashian says to Usher while getting her glam done. "I finally got the answer to those rumors. It's not about me. It's about you. You're doing the Super Bowl."
She adds: "You're playing the Apple Music Halftime Show in Vegas." He responds: "No, for real, don't play like that," to which she replies, "I don't have time to play. One, I'm busy. Two, you're doing the Super Bowl." The "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" hitmaker then asks Kardashian how she knows, and she says: "I know everything."
