‘That isn’t me’ Karlie Kloss defends herself over the Taylor FALL-OUT

Aug 17, 2016

When Karlie Kloss was asked her opinion of Kim Kardashian recently, she did what most media-trained celebrities do and played the perfect diplomat.

Despite the fact millions thought Kim was responsible for the ruination of Taylor Swift's 'good girl' image, Tay's pal refused to be drawn into the drama, and instead erred on the side of caution by offering a vague pleasantry about the reality TV star.

"Look, I really don't know her that well," Karlie told The Sunday Times before noting that Kim had 'always been a lovely person' to her.

But if the Victoria's Secret model thought she had dodged a bullet with that remark, she was sorely mistaken as media outlets had a field day suggesting that Karlie had let down the 'squad' by missing an opportunity to slam Kim.

The rumour mill, unsurprisingly, went into overdrive as Tay-haters (Tayters? Ok, no) decided that Karlie's lacklustre remarks indicated a lack of solidarity within Taylor's infamous squadron of long-legged beauties.

And it looks like Karlie has officially had enough.

Taking to Twitter, 24-year-old Karlie made her feelings know, writing: "I will not allow the media to misconstrue my words. Taylor has always had my back and I will always have hers."

"And I will never be the girl that you can use to pit women against each other. That isn't me," she added.

Seemingly certain that Karlie would have to address the furore at some point this week, fans of the model were on hand to offer sisterly support.

"You are an amazing woman and friend," wrote one while another added: "You don't have to explain yourself to the public. As long as @taylorswift13 knows your true feelings, that's all matters."

Unfortunately not everyone bought it, with one Twitter user responding: "But your precious Tay Swift is the one who also pits women against each other."

Ouch!
