AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian took a lot of heat with her new magazine cover. The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was accused of "black-facing" as she posed for 7Hollywood magazine with dark complexion that made her look like a black woman at first glance.
"Is it me or does she look black," one commented. Another penned, "Why does she look like a black woman here? Embrace you're own culture sis! You're pretty but c'mon." Meanwhile, a different individual dissed the magazine, "Editor gave Kim K 3 completely different skin tones in 3 pics but forgot to add hers."

Some people even called her a Beyonce Knowles wannabe. "What in the brown skin Beyonce wanna be is going on here?!" one person exclaimed.
