Kim Kardashian is often seen posing topless and even nude for various magazines. But, the reality star felt violated and was furious when some of her risque, personal photos got leaked on the Internet in September. She was one of the celebrities who were victims of the biggest celebrity nude photo leak scandal. The 34-year-old told a fashion magazine in her recent interview that she feels "violated" because of the nude photos of hers that were leaked.

"I feel violated because these are private pictures. I didn't choose for them to be out there," Kim told elleuk.com. But, rapper Kanye West's wife has made it clear that she will not let scandals like this affect her personal life.

"But I'm also realistic. I'm on covers of magazines naked, so I can't go crazy about it. The only choice I can make is to not let it shake me up. I'm not having that choice taken away from me," Kim said.

As a teenager, the mommy to North West, however, was not confident about posing nude for a magazine photoshoot. According to Kim, she was quite conscious about her growing body. She said that she used to cry for long, sitting in the bathroom, because she felt her breasts were too big as compared to the girls of her age. She also felt that she "developed quite early" compared to her peers and as a result she lost her self esteem. Kim credits her dad Robert Kardashian for instilling confidence in her about her body image. Her late dad wrote letter to her and told her that she might attract men because of her body but she should consider herself a "wonderful girl" who should know her self worth.

Kim was born in an era when thin models like Cindy Crawford were considered idols but that did not let her feel left out. The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star told the magazine that she created a niche for girls who "have shape" and are not thin. The body shape of Kim was appreciated in the later years of her life. She said that she is happy to have "broken the mould." Last month, she appeared nude in "Paper" magazine. Kim said that she did the photoshoot to feel confident about her body after the pregnancy. Kim put on a lot of weight while she was carrying North West. She is now back to her pre-baby figure.
