Kim Kardashian<\/a> is leaving parents \u2018disturbed\u2019 after unveiling her latest controversial Skims campaign.<\/p>\n

The Kardashians star is known for facing controversy, especially when it comes to her $4 billion shapewear brand.<\/p>\n

From having to change the name of the brand entirely <\/a>when it was introduced as Kimono, sparking cultural appropriation backlash, to being accused of \u2018greenwashing\u2019 after claiming Skims\u2019 packaging was more environmentally friendly than it was.<\/p>\n

Her latest stunt is no different.<\/p>\n

The reality TV star, 44, has erected a huge 60-foot balloon of herself donning a tiny blue bikini in the middle of New York<\/a> City\u2019s Times Square, sparking a huge debate online about her latest attempt to break the internet.<\/p>\n

The campaign is to promote her latest Swim Shop Skims collection being released on March 6.<\/p>\n

Kim shared an image of the doll to her Instagram Stories, writing: ‘OMG… I cannot believe there is a 60 foot float of me in SKIMS Swim in the middle of Times Square.’ <\/p>\n

And social media users have been quick to react, branding the stunt everything from \u2018beyond weird\u2019 to \u2018awful\u2019.<\/p>\n
