Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian buried the hatchet after years of fighting last month when they took a selfie together that has been liked more than 1.2 million times. Rose, who famously dated Kardashian's husband Kanye West, admitted that while her and the "Keeping Up with the Kardashian star are friendly, she doesn't think they'll ever be best friends.
The model/activist recently gave an interview where she talked about her relationship with Kardashian and West, and why she defended the mother of two when several celebrities publicly criticized her for posting multiple nude pictures on her Instagram account.
"The thing is, me and Kim will probably - I won't say we'll never be friends, but we accept each other for who we are, and that's the most important thing as women," Rose said in a recent interview. "I don't get along with her husband - I don't think we'll ever be the best of friends - but it's good that we understand who we both are, got all that shit out on the table, and can just move on with our lives knowing that the Internet is mostly what gave us the beef we had. We didn't naturally have any beef with each other, the Internet just naturally instigated everything. So we got it all out and it's all good now."

When Kardashian posted the nude pictures, many took to the Internet to slut shame the reality star, including Pink, Bette Midler and Chloe Grace Moretz, but Rose came to Kardashian's defense and extended an invitation to participate in her upcoming Los Angeles SlutWalk.
"It's bullshit, and this is the thing: They come at me and Kim so hard because I was a stripper and she had a sex tape," Rose said. "So if we could sing, it would be OK if we were on stage half-naked. We all love Beyoncé, but she's on stage half-naked and twerking all the time, yet people say, oh, she has talent, so she's able to do that. We don't have the talent that Beyoncé has, so we get criticized as former sex workers, but at the end of the day, we're just women - we're all women - and we should all embrace each other. No one is greater. We're all the same. So, to criticize us as incapable of being smart businesswomen because Kim has a reality show and I'm a socialite and we don't sing, is stupid."
Rose also spoke about how much of a double standard there was in the industry and cited the success of Channing Tatum, who is also a former stripper.
"He's an established actor who's at the Vanity Fair parties and the Oscars, but for me, no matter how far I go in my life, I see these stories that keep referring to me as a 'former stripper,'" Rose said. "No one says 'former stripper' about Channing Tatum or 'former McDonald's worker' about Brad Pitt. No one does that to men."
