After teasing a racy new Kimoji launch on Instagram, Kim Kardashian’s brand released several products on Friday. The new merchandise features “savage” bras and panties, a makeup case, and furry slides. However, it’s a shirt with a middle finger Kimoji that has people talking. The Kimoji in question graces both a hoodie and t-shirt, and replicates Kim giving the middle finger while wearing a huge diamond ring.
Harper’s Bazaar reported on the significance of the Kimoji shirts, and said it seems Kim is sending a message with the new merch. The article states the ring is similar to the one stolen from her in Paris during the October robbery.
“You’ll notice that the hand is also wearing a massive diamond ring, very similar to the $4.5 million “second engagement ring” given to her by Kanye, which was one of the items stolen when she was robbed at gunpoint in October.”

Fans have been anxiously waiting for the mother-of-two to make her public return, and the creation of the new Kimoji Instagram account was the first time Kardashian had posted anything on social media since her scary ordeal. It’s being debated if Kim appears in the slightly NSFW images, but some fans are suggesting the models include sisters Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian, reported Us Weekly .
On October 31, posts were made on Kardashian’s Facebook account promoting her partnership with LuMee phone cases, but were quickly deleted and called an error. Us Weekly states Kim is still waiting to decide on the right time to make her comeback.
“She’s still figuring out when is the right time for her to come back.”
While the Kimoji Instagram is most likely being run by Kim’s team, some fans are taking it as a sign she’s slowly returning to the public eye. However, not everyone is pleased with the way she’s going about it. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton took to commenting on the Kimoji twerking photos to show his disapproval. The Mirror reported on Hilton “slamming” Kardashian for her “money-grabbing” return to social media.
Perez called Kim’s return to Instagram “sad” and said nothing has changed since her robbery despite her claiming to be traumatized.
“After your ‘traumatic’ Paris robbery, THIS is how you return to Instagram?”
But now that the Kimoji merch has launched, fans can see just what Kim has been up to the past few months. The middle finger shirts may be a reflection of her mood as she sends a message to both fans and her attackers. In fact, it seems the 36-year-old is starting to come back into the limelight more and more. She can be heard talking on Jonathan Cheban’s SnapChat as he shares images of the family’s giant Christmas tree on Friday.
Radar Online reported on the event saying Kim has finally broken her silence as she can be heard speaking in the background to Cheban. He shows fans a huge tree set up in Kim’s mansion as he exclaims, “Oh my God, Kim, this tree is huge!” She replies to his comment in typical Kim fashion.
“Isn’t it insane? Just lights, no ornaments.”
While her Kimoji shirts may be sending a message to the world, it seems Perez may be right when he suggests nothing has changed for Kim as she continues her money-flaunting ways this holiday season. Radar Online agreed that Kim doesn’t seem to have changed her spending habits despite having been robbed at gun point.
“Kardashian has been hiding after briefly emerging at one of Kanye West’s last concerts, returning to filming in public but calling that off again after her husband’s meltdown and hospitalization. But if the tree is any indication, behind closed doors Kardashian certainly hasn’t scaled back her capitalistic way!”
