Kim Kardashian has responded to the backlash that she cropped her own daughter out of a selfie she posted from her outing to Disney On Ice on Sunday.

Social media users didn’t hold back after the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star posted a cropped photo, which featured half of North West’s head.

She has taken to Twitter to defend herself, saying she was just confident in her hair and makeup and North’s eyes were shut.

“Wait is this really news that I posted a selfie & cropped my daughter out? LOL,” she first wrote. “Her eyes were closed and I was feeling my look! Can I live?!?!”

Before posting the selfie, she posted some adorable photos of North with her cousins, Mason and Penelope Disick, Ciara’s son Future and Joyce Bonelli’s son Zeplin.

Kardashian was on aunt duty while older sister Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to her third child with longtime boyfriend Scott Disick, which also happened to be their first child Mason’s 5th birthday.
