For those who are not up-to-date on the latest Twitter drama, earlier this week Kim Kardashian made headlines after she posted a naked selfie on the social media platform and some celebrities shared their opinion about the reality star’s need to show off her body, including multi-talented star, Bette Midler.
Following Kim’s post, Midler (in her usual hilarious form) took to her own Twitter account and decided to crack a joke about the pic:
Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen,
she’s gonna have to swallow the camera.— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) March 7, 2016
Of course, Kim K responded:
hey @BetteMidler I know it’s past your bedtime but if you’re still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding

The banter between Bette and Kardashian continued for a couple days, until Midler decided to put the drama’s attention to good use. She decided to challenge Kardashian to use her selfies for charity.
.@KimKardashian Put your selfie to work…for a good cause! Donate, RT, I’ll match $$ 2-1! https://t.co/3tfkNFnPic pic.twitter.com/f5yqqlbjvg

Before the exchange, Midler launched a Crowdrise campaign called the Stages of Success. She teamed up with THE JECKYL FOUNDATION to launch the initiative as a way to help modernize outdated and dysfunctional public school auditoriums. One performance art school’s stage will be getting the ultimate makeover.
“Please donate generously to Stages for Success and help give these kids the platform they so deserve. I’m making a 2:1 match on every dollar raised – tripling the impact of your donation!”
Bette is looking to raise $150,000 for the school’s remodel. So far, the campaign has secured over $140,000.
