Kim Kardashian savaged over strange detail in bikini snap: 'Confused'

Kim Kardashian has baffled fans after sharing some very provocative bikini snaps.

In the first snap, the SKIMS founder is pouting while lying down in a triangle black bikini. The other two racy photos show the brunette posing upright with a full face of makeup.

While the 42-year-old looked great, fans couldn’t get over the strange dark patch in the middle of her chest. It appears to be a shadow from a phone held above her on the bed, but her fingers gave it an odd shape.

People discussed her skin tone in the comments, with one fan wondering if it was a ‘birthmark'.

“Is that a shadow of a ninja turtle holding the phone on her chest?” joked a fan.

“The shadow had me confused for a while,” another wrote.

“Why are there patches all over your skin,” a third asked.

“Why does she have an imprint of the state of Alabama on her chest?” another quipped, followed by a laughing emoji.

Others labelled the star as “desperate” for sharing so many bikini snaps online.

“Trying to stay relevant I guess,” one wrote.

“What are these photos? It’s like she’s in high school in 2010 or something,” another added.

“Some people can’t accept their age,” a third chimed in.

However, a slew of fans stepped up to defend Kim, calling the trolls “jealous” and “pressed”.

“I think she’s very sexy!!! Why [is] everyone hating on these pics??? Don’t like them, get off her Instagram!! Wish I had a banging bod like this!!” a fan commented.

“Why are there so many haters??? Just admire her, she looks amazing,” another said.

“You’re so beautiful and gorgeous,” a third gushed.
