Kim Kardashian explains controversial post after grandmother’s death

Kim Kardashian posted family vacation photos on Instagram before announcing grandmother Mary Jo 'MJ' Shannon's death.

Followers slammed the posts as insensitive, showing Kardashian and siblings in bikinis partying on a boat.

Kim's boyfriend Lewis Hamilton shared similar photos from the trip with a caption to 'hold your people close'.

Kim explained the post was automated and scheduled days before her grandmother's passing.

She later shared a separate tribute honoring MJ as her best friend and business inspiration.
