ANGRY fans have accused Kim Kardashian of being disrespectful to Kourtney’s son Mason in a new Instagram post.
Kim, 42, shared a sweet photo of her nephew to celebrate his 13th birthday on Wednesday.

Mason appeared to be taller than his aunt, whose long platinum blond locks flowed down her back.
The Kardashians star was dressed in gray and white loungewear and covered her face with dark sunglasses.
Mason wore a baggy white T-shirt with gray sweatpants while carrying a large black backpack.
Kim captioned the post: “The day has come where you’re taller than me now. I just love who you are, and I’m just so proud of you, Mason.
“Welcome to your teenage years. Happy Birthday.”
THE BACKLASH
In an online thread, critics claimed Kim was inconsiderate to Mason – who wished his personal life to be private – by revealing his full face.
One critic said: “Kim posting this when Mason has said he does not want to be on social media is such a Kim thing to do.”
Another critic agreed and added: “Glad to see some people also thought it was weird.”
A third critic mentioned: “I don’t understand why Kim doesn’t get this.
“The kids are starting to see how intrusive it is, and at least in my kid’s case, don’t want much part of it, which is completely understandable and admirable.”
A fourth critic wrote: “Someone else’s birthday, and it is still all about her.”
A commentator chimed in: “I am going to assume that she did not go and post this without his permission.”
‘THEY DON’T LOVE IT’
In October, Kourtney, 43, opened up about Mason’s refusal to take photos on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.
Host Amanda Hirsch asked the Hulu star what fans have misperceived about her famous lifestyle.
Kourtney admitted: “I see comments all the time that I’m never with my kids. And I just don’t love to post my kids on social media.
“They don’t love it. Sometimes they do.”
Amanda pointed out that Kourtney’s oldest child preferred to stay out of the spotlight.
Kourtney replied: “Like Mason doesn’t love it.
“He does not like it. He doesn’t want any part of it. He’s not on social media. He doesn’t love it, and I want my kids to be kids.”
She concluded: “I crave normalcy as much as we can have it.”
Kourtney and her ex, Scott Disick, 39, – who celebrated Mason’s 13th birthday at Nobu – share two other children: Reign, eight, and Penelope, 10.
The personality is also the stepmother to husband Travis Barker’s children: Alabama, 16, and Landon, 18 – he shares both teenagers with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
