Kim Kardashian has simply been asked ‘why?’ after releasing what fans have dubbed a ‘demonic’ cover of Christmas classic Santa Baby.
The Skims owner, 44, donned a blonde wig and plunging blue shirt for the utterly bizarre video produced by her brother-in-law Travis Barker.
The cover of Eartha Kitt’s festive ditty sees Kim’s character crawling across a floor and encountering a wide array of characters including a choir, Jesus, nuns, and bodybuilders.
Sharing the video to her Instagram page, Kim wrote: ‘Santa baby.
‘Film directed by Nadia Lee Cohen & Charlie Denis. Song produced by Travis Barker.’
The creepy chaos onscreen is being filmed by an unseen person, later revealed to be Santa Claus, portrayed by Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin.
Fans have been horrified by the surreal video, with some going as far as saying the reality TV star has ‘ruined Christmas.’
‘What in the methamphetamine Christmas blasphemy is this,’ Alatheia wrote on Instagram, while Lynzrose2389 said: ‘I think I just watched Kim crawl through a crackhouse.’
Marissasales_ wondered: ‘Am I the only one getting demonic vibes….’
