People are hating on Kim Kardashian right now over her new 7Hollywood magazine cover, claiming that she’s attempting blackface.

Now, a source close to the star says she is denying allegations of “blackface” or that she was intentionally trying to look like a black woman.

“It’s the lighting that makes her look darker in this specific image,” the source told Page Six. “There are multiple covers and images from this shoot where the lighting looks more natural. People are so quick to find the negative in everything and also often forget that she is of Armenian descent.”

Well, it’s certainly not the first time Kim was accused of culture appropriation.

Still, we all should give her the benefit of the doubt. The woman is doing amazing things for criminal justice!
