“Fake piercings and fake tatts 4 life,” read the caption of one video.
Netizens had mixed opinions, with one asking, “Is this a Halloween costume?!”
“Did anyone really think these kids would be normal???” one said, while another called the reality TV star, “Mother of the year!”
“The great mothering continues,” said another.
Another claimed, “Poor kid is crying out for help.”

“Starting to realize Kanye wasn’t the crazy one,” one said. Another claimed, “She would've been better off with her dad.”
Other commenters asked critics to let the child explore her own self-expression.
“My daughter dresses similar and is a straight A student. It’s called expression. It’s ok yall,” one said.
“She is experimenting with fashion,” said another.
“She’s a kid, leave her alone,” one commenter wrote, defending the preteen

North has been sparking headlines in recent months for her bold fashion choices.
Some claimed her outfit was “disturbing” during her holiday in Rome with her mother earlier this year.
The pre-teen was dressed in a black corset and towered over her mother in knee-high boots. Fans also noticed a dermal piercing on her middle finger.
She was “way too young to be dressed like that,” one commenter claimed at the time.

Kim admitted that mistakes have been made in the past with her oldest daughter’s fashion choices.
The Skims founder said her daughter is often scrutinized for the very same fashion choices that her peers make.
“It's really hard and it's really interesting because all the kids are wearing the same things,” she said while speaking on the Call Me Daddy podcast.
“But then my daughter tries to wear it and then I'm like ‘okay we're never wearing that again.’ Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world,” she added.

The mother of four said North normally dresses “like a tomboy” but likes to try what her friends are wearing sometimes.
“She's usually a girl that dresses like a tomboy most of the time and she wanted to try something that her friends were wearing and went to the same place that they went to... and it's just like, okay, wait, maybe you can't wear that, you know?” Kim said.
The reality TV star began dating Kanye West in 2012 and welcomed daughter North with him in 2013.
They got married in 2014 and became parents to sons Saint, 9, and Psalm, 6, and daughter Chicago, 7, before their divorce was finalized in 2022.

Kim said she’s still “learning” how to parent her preteen.
“As a mum, you're kind of learning at the same time. But what I do know is my baby's such a good girl and such a sweet girl,” she said on the podcast.
“The things that she has experienced, where she might have been outspoken or did something, she learns from that,” she went on to say.
“She does listen to me but in other areas I'm like ‘babe if you want blue hair it is what it.’ It makes her so happy. I would never take that creativity away from her.”

When North stepped out in public for the first time with her blue hair, tongues wagged online and criticized the child for trying something new.
But Kim said her daughter was “mature” about handling negative comments.
“She'll be like, ‘Mum, I saw this and I don't really care if someone says they don't like my blue hair or my this or that,’” she said.
“She's really confident and is like, ‘I probably wouldn't be hanging out with those people. Like if you saw what they look like and what they're wearing!’” she added.

The beauty mogul mom spoke about her “toxic” relationship with Kanye on the podcast and how she had to leave the marriage to “be a better mum.”
Kim said she now raises her four kids “full time” and they live with her, and she hasn’t heard from the Heartless rapper in a couple of months.
She nevertheless welcomes “a great healthy relationship” between her children and their father, she said.
“One thing that gets me is that there's this narrative that I keep the kids away from him. I've never once done that,” she added.

Kim also asked people to show more “grace” towards mothers, like her, who are raising children by themselves.
“I just think anyone that's raising kids, especially four kids by myself, I'm doing the best that I can and my babies are good babies,” she said.
“So, I just urge everyone to not be judgmental and to have grace on single mums trying to figure it all out with a preteen,” she added. “It's a lot.”
“This look is screaming for help. She’s 12 looking 30…” read one comment online
