You may be unaware of the Kim Kardashian toddler-cropping scandal, but you can probably guess how it began: with a tweet.
On Sunday, Kim brought baby North West to a Disney on Ice performance with other moms and kids. But her followers were unimpressed when she cropped North West out of this sleek selfie, and posted the results on Instagram and Twitter.

Kim has a rep as a supreme narcissist, and the Twittersphere denounced her for cropping her child out of a selfie.

As ever, Kim is unconcerned by the haters. She said North's facial expression would have ruined the picture, and hit back at her critics with these tweets on Monday.
