What does Bette Midler think of what Kim Kardashian thinks of what Bette Midler thinks of her? We now have an answer. 

After Midler publicly yawned at Kim Kardashian's nude selfies, Kim struck back to let her haters know she's laughing it off.

And then Kim channeled Drake and was all, "f*ck a fake friend, where your real friends at?"

Midler insisted she was joking when she made the same slut-shaming joke that so many before her have made about Kardashian. ("If Kim wants us to see a part of her we've never seen,

she's gonna have to swallow the camera," Midler initially tweeted.)

But Kim maintains that she definitely has a sense of humor. 

To quote "Real Friends" by Kanye West, a somewhat unlikely source of reason, "I cannot blame you for havin' an angle. I ain't got no issues, I'm just doin' my thing. Hope you're doin' your thing, too."
