Kim Kardashian’s daughter North West, 13, hits back at 'demonic' accusations

Kim Kardashian’s eldest daughter North West has defended her unconventional fashion choices after being accused of dressing “demonic” – insisting her appearance should not be used to judge her character.

The 13-year-old aspiring rapper, whose parents are reality television star and businesswoman Kim, 45, and musician Kanye West, 49, addressed the criticism during a recent TikTok livestream alongside her mother.

North, who appeared with bright blue hair, has attracted attention for wearing black dental grills, facial piercings and experimental outfits, prompting debate online about her personal style and the boundaries Kim sets for her children.

Responding directly to viewers during the livestream, North said: “Oh no, I’m not demonic, guys. Stop saying I’m demonic. No, I’m not.”

She added: “Just because I like to dress this way, don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Kim suggested some of the accusations were connected to her daughter’s preference for dark accessories, including black grills and piercings.

However, North rejected the association between her appearance and the accusations being directed at her.

She said: “But I don’t know why you guys should put that with demonic because I don’t get that.”

Kim, who founded the shapewear company Skims and rose to fame through the reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, told her daughter she did not believe critics understood her style.

The television personality said she did not think people “really get it”.

North has increasingly experimented with fashion and music while growing up in one of the world’s most recognisable celebrity families.

She has appeared in public wearing brightly coloured wigs, temporary facial tattoos, piercings and outfits including corsets and miniskirts.

Her appearance has generated criticism on social media, particularly when she has accompanied Kim to high-profile events and international destinations.

In August 2025, photographs taken during a family holiday in Rome prompted further controversy after North was seen wearing what appeared to be a dermal piercing on the middle finger of one hand.
