Kim Kardashian is making waves with her latest attempt to shock audiences. The reality star, known for her penchant for pushing boundaries, stars in a provocative Christmas-themed music video featuring her rendition of the classic 1953 song “Santa Baby.”

The production combines edgy visuals with an air of deliberate controversy, leaving many viewers outraged at its irreverent imagery.

The setting is filled with jarring depictions of religious figures, including an actor portraying Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns and another playing the Virgin Mary accompanied by a donkey.

The video’s chaotic crescendo features Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin as a disheveled Santa Claus, filming the spectacle on an old camcorder, evoking the vibe of a voyeur.

Kardashian shared the video on social media, sparking a firestorm of criticism. Produced by Travis Barker, the Blink-182 drummer and husband of her sister Kourtney Kardashian, the video seems to draw inspiration from the edgy, transgressive art styles of the 1990s.

Whether it’s a genuine homage to that era or just a shallow attempt to generate controversy, the result has left audiences divided.

Online backlash has been swift, with many condemning the video as disrespectful and sacrilegious. “This isn’t art; it’s demonic,” one critic posted, reflecting the sentiment of many who found the imagery offensive.

Kardashian’s distant and almost strung-out demeanor throughout the video only adds to its unsettling tone.

The use of “Santa Baby” as the soundtrack adds another layer of controversy. Originally performed by Eartha Kitt in 1953, the playful and mildly suggestive lyrics penned by Joan Javits and Philip Springer hardly seem suited to the edgy and explicit tone of Kardashian’s interpretation.

The song’s flirtatious charm is replaced by a dark, brooding atmosphere that has left audiences questioning the star’s creative choices.

The video’s release is yet another example of Kardashian’s ability to court controversy and dominate headlines.

However, the public’s patience with her antics seems to be wearing thin. Many are calling out what they perceive as a desperate grab for attention, with little regard for cultural or religious sensitivities.

For a star who built her empire on being unapologetically provocative, this latest project might just be another notch in her belt of controversies.
