Kim Kardashian’s ‘rebellious punk’ gesture is totally out of character & could signal she’s after a new man, expert says
Jennifer Lopez was also recently seen flipping the finger
KIM Kardashian has subtly hinted at what type of man she’s looking for in the future, says a body language expert.
The Skims founder was spotted nonchalantly flipping her finger as she stepped out of the Los Angeles skincare clinic Epione earlier this week.

Kim Kardashian’s rude gesture seems sudden, says body language expert Judi JamesCredit: BackGrid
Body language expert Judi James told The U.S. Sun that Kim’s frustrated expression may not mean what it seems at first glance.
Judi has spent over a decade studying the social behavior of stars and royals alike.
This ‘middle finger’ gesture of passive/aggressive dismissal and contempt is normally used by punks, rebels and sports fans to register strong disapproval for someone who is not really worth their effort.
From Kim Kardashian though it is a revolutionary statement.
The woman has spent a lifetime courting the press and putting her face out there in public or on her reality show.
She is the polar opposite to privacy-seeking and camera-shy. So why the sudden rejection signal?
Stars often had a trick of using rude gestures when they didn’t want to get their photos used by the paparazzi as the shot might have been seen as unsuitable for the daily newspapers and fan mags.
Now though it can ensure extra coverage.
Kim’s gesture comes with a bland, inscrutable facial expression, rather than an ugly face of anger, suggesting her signal of contempt comes from a calm place and might even be slightly playful.
It could actually be a colluding comedy tie-sign to the photographers to show her human side.
She’s clearly been shopping, judging from the carriers, and although her black outfit with the hood up and the huge, fly’s-eyes black shades look like a desire to hide there’s little chance she won’t be recognized in this unique, stand-out gear.
Kim’s signal looks more like a statement then, maybe of switching up her brand to something a little more edgy and a lot less ‘goddess’.
This penchant for attitude could also be prompted by a desire to appeal to a younger teenage audience or even to impress a specific new man.
Her cocked thumb in the raised hand suggests she’s enjoying this new, rebellious look and she does have an A-list role model.
Jennifer Lopez is another star who is always camera-ready and camera-friendly but she was seen flipping the finger very dramatically a few months ago.
This might have announced a form of permission from the top to let some real frustrations and feelings leak out now and again.
It seems to sit well with the trend of bare faces and a more honest approach.
