Kim Kardashian seems tensed as she poses with Jennifer Lopez, Oprah Winfrey

Experts say that Kim Kardashian tried to steal the show at Oprah Winfrey’s expensive, star-studded birthday party.

Body language expert Patti Wood told The Sun that the reality TV star looked uncomfortable in controversial photos from the event because she couldn’t control the photographer.

Wood said that Kardashian could be seen clenching her fist and stiffening her body at the expensive candlelit party in an attempt to be the centre of attention.

“In the photo where Kim and J-Lo are talking behind Oprah’s back, J-Lo looks very comfortable and has her lower hand on Oprah’s back,” the expert said after looking at the photos.

“But Kim’s hand is in a tight half-fist, which shows a little bit of tension,” she said. “I only see them punching each other, and it could be because Kim is talking badly about someone.

“She’s talking about something she doesn’t like or feels unsafe with,” she said. “In the picture where Kim is taking the picture, she wants to be the focus.”

After the event, the Marry Me star posted the selfie with Kardashian and Wilde on Instagram. The Skims founder, on the other hand, cut J.Lo out of the picture when she posted it on her account.

“She wants to post about it on social media, but she couldn’t get between them, which would have been a typical Kim move,” Wood said.

“Otherwise, in the picture where Kim and J-Lo are pouting, it looks like they’re saying, ‘I’m going to make myself look skinny and do the silly thing I always do for selfies.'”

“And she can’t do anything about the group photo because it wasn’t her picture. In those situations, I can always tell she is tense.”
