Just when you thought we'd closed the case on Kim Kardashian's butt authenticity, skeptics have to drag up all kinds of rumors to spark yet another heated debate a-butt it. (Sorry, I had to.)

So, what's the problem this time, haters? Apparently, it all has to do with a paparazzi photo that kind-of, sort-of makes Kim K look like she's wearing butt pads. In a blog post on her subscription-only site, Kim writes,

Another day, another crazy rumor! Apparently, I was caught wearing butt pads. Here's what really happened: A couple years ago, I wore a skirt in Miami that was totally sheer. I had no idea it was SO see-through on my butt.

You can view the photo on Pinterest for context. Kim K went on to say,

I definitely never want that to happen again, so now I always wear shapewear. Sometimes, they have a sheer cutout like these capris from Body Wrap, so that's actually what you're seeing in the picture at the top.

Take a look at Figure 2, the Body Wrap capris, for your reference:

So is this just a sneaky advertisement for nude capris or is Kim Kardashian giving a pretty good explanation for her butt situation? We'll never really know, but she did have this last thing to say,

So, the fact is: I don't wear butt pads! At this point, I think everyone has seen my butt naked and knows I don't need them LOL!

LOL is right, Kim.
