The most controversial celeb family snaps that make Heidi Klum lingerie ad look tame -including Kardashian ‘incest’ pic
WE all love our families, but do some celebrities show their love for their nearest and dearest a little too much?
Heidi Klum was criticised this week for yet again posing in her underwear with her daughter, Leni. But she isn’t the only celebrity who’s gotten a little too close for comfort with a member of their own family.
From the Kardashians bizarre ‘incest’ snap to Angelina Jolie‘s infamous kiss with her own brother, Fabulous takes a look at the most controversial celebrity family pictures in history.
Heidi And Leni Klum
Heidi Klum has been slammed on multiple occasions for posing in skimpy lingerie with her 20-year-old daughter.
In a recent video for Intimissimi’s Fall Winter campaign Heidi, 51, stunned in a maroon lace bra and matching knickers, whilst placing her arm around her daughter, who was sporting a black floral set.
Fashion brand Intimissimi shared the pictures and videos from the shoot on their Instagram page, and the comments were filled with backlash.
One questioned: “Which normal mum would pose together with her daughter in lingerie?”
Another pointed out: “Dude, that’s your mom.”
“The video is so cringe,” a third added.
However, despite the backlash Megan Boyle, head of PR at TAL Agency revealed that any publicity is good publicity, and the uproar will certainly have got people talking about the brand.
She said: “Any kind of marketing or advertising campaign needs to elicit a response from viewers. And – more often than not – a negative reaction gets far more attention than a positive one.
“Whether people praise it or slam it, the ad has done its job.”
Kourtney, Khloe And Kendall
The Kardashian sisters are known for being extremely close, but back in 2018, they pushed boundaries a little too far for some fans.
Following their annual family Christmas Eve party Kourtney, 45, posted a snap to Instagram of her and younger sisters Khloe, 40, and Kendall, 28.
The image showed the glamorous siblings all dolled up, whilst reclining on a grand piano.
However, what shocked fans was that, in the image, Khloe and Kendall were each holding one of Kourtney’s breasts, and Kendall reached for Khloe’s bum, whilst Khloe grabbed Kendall’s neck.
The posts was flooded with backlash, including from one poster who said: “You do know that you’re sisters?
Why Heidi’s Klum’s daughter Leni won’t stop doing ‘weird’ photoshoots with mum
Despite being slammed for doing lingerie shoots with her mother, Leni has shrugged off the commentary due to the duo's close bond.
On a previous modelling assignment together, Leni said: “My mom and I are just completely comfortable around each other, and we were dancing around the whole day.
“That was what we had to do, and we do that anyway, so it just fit right. It was just such a fun day.”
And Leni says her supermodel mum has always been her inspiration, so it is hardly a surprise that she saw a modelling career as a natural step.
“I’ve always gone to work with my mom and thought, ‘This looks so fun. She looks so happy while she’s working,’ jump in sometimes, and I’d play around with the makeup that her makeup artist would bring,” she said.
Leni’s dream came true when she got to be on the cover of Vogue Germany with her supermodel mother at the age of 16.
“That’s, like, insane that I did that as my first job, and my mom was with me, which made it so much fun. It was just such a good day. I wasn’t nervous at all. I was just so excited,” she said.
“This is a photo you can take with friends but its a bit weird to do it with siblings in my mind.
Another person asked: “What in the incest hell is going on here??”
And a third fan added: “This makes me feel a bit sick.”
Khloe was also slammed for sharing a bath with brother-in-law Scott Disick back in 2014, when he was daring sister Kourntey.
Scott, 41, who shares three children with Kourtney, further outraged fans by captioning the bath picture: ‘The Lord and his lady’.
Kourtney was pregnant with the couple’s third child at the time, so it is unlikely that she was happy about the snap.
Angelina Jolie And James Haven
Angelina Jolie shocked the world back in 2000 when she appeared to kiss her own brother, James Haven on the lips on the red carpet at The Oscars.
Weirder still, after she won for best supporting actress for Girl, Interrupted, the star declared in her acceptance speech, “I’m so in love with my brother right now. Jamie, you are the strongest, most amazing man I’ve ever known.”
The incident generated headlines across the globe, but Angelina insisted it was nothing more than “brotherly love”, and said her parents “loved” the special moment shared between their children.
And defending the snap back in 2007, James told the Daily Mail: “I did not give Angie a French kiss. It was something simple and lovely.
“I congratulated her on the Oscar win and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. It was snapped and became a big thing.”
But despite the siblings insisting that they were just showing their love for each other, Megan reckons it was all a publicity stunt.
She said: “Let’s face it, the kiss was likely to be a publicity stunt.
“There is no bigger event in the movie industry than the Academy Awards, and what better way to ensure headlines?”
Jess And Eve Gale
Jess and Eve Gale caused a stir when the identical twins both appeared in series six of Love Island.
The duo were both chased around by the same men, and even got mistaken for the other on various occasions.
However, things got even weirder when a budget music video was unearthed, showing the twins scantily clad in bed together.
The video which was filmed back in 2018 shows the siblings wiggling their bums, before stripping off and getting under the duvet with rapper Maestro.
Megan revealed that by casting the duo in Love Island, producers knew they were bound to stir up some family drama.
She said: “For a show that is fraught with controversy already, what better way to try and spike viewing numbers than with some family drama?”
Kylie And Kendall
The Jenner sisters appeared to capitalise on their extremely close bond when they appeared in an advert for Kendall’s collaboration with Kylie Cosmetics.
In the advert, the sisters were seen writhing around on the floor together in skimpy clothing.
But despite the slightly uncomfortable imagery of the two sisters entwined together, Megan reckons Momager Kris Jenner would have been very much on board with the family snaps.
She said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Kris Jenner was behind the camera coaching the whole thing.
“Are the sisters getting a little too close to comfort for some people?
“Yes, but it’s also got them spoken about and it helps them to stay relevant.”
