Kim Kardashian has repeatedly denied any talk of plastic surgery where her curvy derriere is concerned, even submitting herself to an X-ray on camera to prove that she didn’t have implants. That’s only because she knew nothing would show up on the X-ray: because she’s getting it done with fillers.

The rumor that Kim has been getting work done on this particular part of her body has been around for a very long time, no matter how vehemently she denies it. It started the moment she became the “it girl” on the scene and people began to look back at her older pictures, noticing that, while always curvy, she was never this much.

Well, people have been saying that Kim’s ample backside has been getting even bigger in recent months, the Daily Mail notes, citing reports in the British media. The reality star has apparently come to the conclusion that the bigger her derriere, the hotter she is. The hotter she is, the more money she makes so, at the end of the day, she has but one choice.

And she’s been seeing to it, says an insider: so far, Kim has splashed a generous $20,170 (€14,564) on injections for her famous backside alone.

“Kim's been focusing on her bum a lot lately – it's becoming almost obsessive. She says the bigger it is, the [more attractive] she feels. But Kim's obsession is starting to worry her friends – they're concerned she'll take things too far,” an insider says.

“Kim says she wants an eye-popping booty that everyone notices. It's part of her brand,” adds the tipster.

That last part of the sentence is absolutely true: Kim’s backside is part of her brand because it was the first thing people noticed about her back in the day when she was just another one of Paris Hilton’s sidekicks, a little more than a hanger-on. That was before Kim allegedly released her own raunchy tape and became more famous than Paris.

However, even if she’s getting work done regularly, Kim is not about to come clean about it anytime soon. Every time a rumor of this type pops up, she shoots it down on social media but that still leaves unexplained why she looks so differently these days than she did, say, a couple of months ago.

Kim has only ever owned up to “trying” Botox on a couple of occasions, but she swore it off immediately after she was left with two black eyes.
