Kim Kardashian has been accused of “controlling” new boyfriend Pete Davidson.
The reality TV mogul was filmed telling the Saturday Night Live star to “take off his double hat” in case she wanted to post 'behind the scenes' photos or videos of them together.
The video emerged after the couple’s visit to Ripley’s in Orlando last month, where Kim tried on the Marilyn Monroe dress she later wore to the Met Gala.
Pete is seen dressed down in a tartan shirt and baseball cap, with another cap over the top of it.
But Kim didn't seem impressed with Pete’s outfit choice for the occasion and told him to change it.

In the video posted on Instagram, Kim, 41, told 28-year-old Pete: “Take the double hat off.”
Kim’s entourage are heard laughing as a sheepish Pete lifts it off his head and says: “I didn’t know where to put my hat.”
Gesturing to an assistant, Kim tells him: “She’ll hold it,” before adding: “Just in case.
"Because if it works and we want to use this somewhere. Just if I want to post any behind the scenes.”
Pete sarcastically hit back: “Oh you don’t want me to have a double hat? I appreciate that. Thank you.”
Kim continued: “I’m just looking out for you,” to which Pete replied: “No it’s cool.”
A member of Kim’s extensive entourage then offers to take Pete’s hat for him and he hands it over, joking: “Thank you man. This hat caused a lot of trouble.”
Although Pete seemed to take the exchange well, some fans pointed out that Kim seems “controlling” when it comes to younger man Pete.
One commented: “She’s controlling. She’s not letting him be himself by wearing two hats. Let him wear two freaking hats, Kim. It’s all about her Instagram aesthetic. Within five months he’s going to be a complete accessory.”
Another wrote: “I hate that everyone literally LOL’d after telling him to take the hat off... it wasn’t that funny.”
A third posted: “She’s using him for publicity. As usual she is just image-obsessed. Listen to their convo the way she is directing him to ditch the hat in case she wants to film ‘behind the scenes.’”
“They’re still in the honeymoon phase. When it wears off, her constant corrections and trying to make him ‘perfect’ like her is going to annoy him,” a fourth chimed in.
“I don’t know if she’s already trying to fix the wardrobe like Kanye did with her. Just let him be him,” a fifth added.
Kim and Pete have been dating since meeting on Saturday Night Live when she co-hosted the show in October 2021, where they shared a kiss during a sketch.
After enjoying a string of secret dates, the couple made their romance Instagram official in March.
They made their red carpet debut as a couple at this week's Met Gala, with Pete admitting he had “got his first spray tan” for the occasion.
Proving their love is for keeps, Pete has even got tattoos dedicated to Kim - despite them only dating a few months.
He had ‘My girl is a lawyer’ inked on his collarbone and just last week was seen with a new tattoo on his neck.
The initials ‘KNSCP’ are believed to be a tribute to Kim and the four kids she shares with estranged husband Kanye West – North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
