KIM Kardashian has been mocked for her new “ugly” crying face after she broke down in tears during The Kardashians premiere.
The 41-year-old sobbed on the phone to Kanye West as she talked about their son Saint learning about her 2007 sex tape.
Saint, six, saw the pop-up ad teasing a potential second sex tape leak while playing Roblox on his iPad.
Kim told Kanye on the phone: “He started laughing and was like, ‘Mommy, look and it was a picture of my cry face.’ I almost died when Saint thought it was funny.'”
She added in a confessional: “It was clickbait insinuating that if you click on it, there was going to be a new sex tape coming out.”
“Had my son been a little bit older and been able to read, I would have been mortified. But I died inside.
“Kanye was like, listen you have the power, nothing will cancel you. Stop worrying about the public perception. you know who you are.”
Kim fought back tears as she talked about a possible second tape leak and how she would “burn” her ex Ray J “to the ground”.
She rang the family lawyer Marty Singer, telling him: I’ll sue for nominal damages. The message is more important than the dollars, at this point.
“I don’t want it to be copied. I have four f**king kids. I can’t go through this again. This was like 20 years ago.
“I’m not going to go through this again. I know the right attorneys this time. I know exactly what to do this time…. I have all the time, all the money, and all of the resources to burn them all to the f**king ground.”
The beauty mogul and her ex Ray J were 22 when the film was made.
The tape threatened to ruin Kim’s career before it had really begun, but in the end, helped catapult her to fame.
She was still a relative unknown when it was released in March 2007 by Vivid Entertainment under the title Kim Kardashian: Superstar.
LET THE MEMES BEGIN
While the situation was obviously traumatic for the reality star, her fans couldn’t help but poke fun at her crying face.
One tweeted, “Kim Kardashian has the UGLIEST cry, like how is that even possible?” with a string of laughing face emojis.
Another added on Reddit: “Lemme get my Photoshop ready because KIM IS CRYING AGAIN AND IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN LAST TIME.
“I’m gonna meme the f out of this.”
A third wrote: “Kim crying like a devastated toddler is sending me.”
The SKIMS founder has been relentlessly mocked for her “ugly-cry face” over the years.
VIRAL SENSATION
Kim’s tears turned into a viral sensation back in 2012 during season two of Kourtney and Kim Take New York.
The makeup mogul breaks down in the finale episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York after speaking to sister Kourtney about her failing marriage to Kris Humphries.
She explains how she didn’t “want to be married anymore” but “felt bad” that she had “wasted people’s time” organizing a lavish wedding that costs hundreds of thousands.
The iconic image of Kim went viral on the internet, and the businesswoman herself sold phone cases with her crying face on them.
Last year, the mother-of-four was mocked once more for her “iconic” crying face in the season finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
She was seen breaking down as she told the crew that it was the end of the reality show after 20 seasons.
One fan wrote under a clip of the trailer which showed Kim crying: “The iconic crying face continues.”
“We got the trailer for the final season of KUWTK and we also got a new Kim crying meme,” added another.
A third penned: “After over 10 years of memes, I think the famous crying face is something we’ll miss seeing the most. Where will we ever get content like this again?”
