Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

As the last few weeks have proved, Kim Kardashian-West is nothing if not divisive. The reality TV star sparked debates on female sexuality, 20ft murals and spats with high-profile people after sharing a nude selfie only weeks after her husband, Kanye West, was causing headlines with almost every tweet on his feed.

Kardashian-West has built an empire over the last 13 years and become increasingly famous thanks to her attempts to break the internet. Her success is evident in the 63.9million people who look through her latest selfies on Instagram, 41.9million internet users reading her thoughts on Twitter, the large television audiences who have kept up with the Kardashians for 11 seasons and those that play her game, download her app and use ‘kimojis’ in their texts.

From “vampire” health treatments and ear-splitting singing attempts to naked magazine front covers, here are some of her most controversial moments:
