Kim Kardashian was reminded of a notorious Instagram post shared by her younger brother on Friday afternoon, albeit in the form of something rather more wholesome.
The TV personality, 36, failed to see the funny side after Rob unfavourably compared her to mentally unbalanced Gone Girl character Amy Dunne in a post shared across social media in 2016.
But her mood appeared to brighten after the reclusive designer sent her peace-offering in the form of distinctively patterned socks emblazoned with the film’s title on Friday afternoon.

Highlighting the gift in a short video shared with Instagram followers, a seemingly pleased Kim admitted they were thoughtfully designed by her brother, but failed to reference their rather contentious inspiration.
Rob’s post – originally shared in March 2016 – saw him post a still of a blood and gore soaked Rosamund Pike as unhinged Amy, taken from David Fincher’s blockbuster adaptation of the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn.
Captioning the shot, he wrote: ‘This is my sister Kim, the b**** from Gone Girl.’

Hinting that the gulf between his famous sister and himself was at breaking point, the apparent prank fueled rumours about Rob’s own reclusive existence at the time.
Kim later insisted her brother was ‘trying to be funny’ by getting back at her on social media following a heated argument.
Responding to a fan on Twitter, Kim wrote: ‘@ZOHALxo he thinks he’s being funny. I got mad at him and he posted that to get me back.’

During a scene from the family’s hit E! show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim can be seen speaking to her younger sister Khloe about Rob and the Instagram post.
Discussing their brother’s penchant for eye-grabbing social media post, Kim and Khloe compared his treatment of them.
Asked why she was blasted by Rob as ‘the b*** from Gone Girl’, Khloe was keen to one-up Kim, but the star fired back referring to the post, saying: ‘You get purple hair and I get the girl from Gone Girl!’
Khloe responded with glee, giggling: ‘I loved when Rob called you the girl from Gone Girl.’
Say cheese! The 36-year-old also shared a fun Snapchat image with her daughter North on Friday
