Kim Kardashian flaunts her hourglass curves in bikini bottoms as she reminisces on tropical vacation

Kim Kardashian proved to be completely at ease despite a rather turbulent time at home with her estranged husband Kanye West.

The 41-year-old billionaire flaunted her hourglass curves in a pair of skimpy black bikini bottoms as she reminisced on a tropical vacation in shots shared with her 282million followers on Tuesday evening.

Earlier in the day, Kim was forced to deny the existence of a second sex tape with her ex Ray J after Kanye revealed during an explosive interview for Hollywood Unlocked that he retrieved the footage and returned it to his estranged wife last year. 

The SKIMS founder kept somewhat protected from the harsh sunrays with a black, long-sleeved rash guard as she splashed around in the water.

She topped up her tan wearing a pair of cheeky bottoms while wading in the ocean and let her long, dark brown hair cascade down her back in natural curls.

Kim rocked a pair of rectangular sunglasses and wore a pale pink shade of lipstick to complement her already flawless complexion.

Kim, who shares four children with Kanye, dismissed the notion that any further sexually explicit content even existed in a statement to Page Six.

Kim filmed the sex tape in 2002 with her then-boyfriend Ray J, which was released into the public domain in 2007, just as Kim and her family were getting ready to launch the first series of their E! reality show. 

‘The computer and hard drive collected were supposed to contain the original video and any unseen footage. After review, there was nothing sexual unseen, only footage on the plane on the way to Mexico and footage at a club and restaurant on the same trip,’ read the statement.

‘Kim remains firm in her belief that there is no new second tape that exists. After 20 years, she truly wishes to move on from this chapter [and] focus instead on the positive things she continues to do as a mother, entrepreneur and advocate for justice reform.’  

Kanye recalled his grand gesture while chatting with Jason Lee in the recently released interview which was published in full-length on YouTube Monday morning. 

‘I went and got the laptop from Ray J myself that night, he said. ‘I met this man at the airport, then got on a red-eye, came back [and] delivered it to her at 8 a.m. in the morning.’

He added: ‘She cried when she saw it. You know why she cried when she seen it on the laptop? Because it represents how much she’s been used. It represents how much people didn’t love her, and they just saw her as a commodity.’ 

Conveniently, Kanye’s friends with Ray J’s former manager, Wack 100, who boasted in September on the Bootleg Kev podcast that he had footage that was ‘more graphic and better than the first one’ of the exes together. 

Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage, and filed a motion in December to legally terminate her marital status and be declared single.
