Heidi Klum was positively slammed for her recent photoshoot with her 18-year-old daughter, Leni, in which both romped around in nothing but lingerie. Of course, this isn't the first time Heidi or Leni has stirred up controversy.

While there are some questions surrounding whether or not Heidi forced her daughter to follow in her modeling footsteps, there's no doubt that Leni will have a tremendous career. But given all the negativity, this could be a bit of a black spot.

Even radio legend Howard Stern, a man known for his risque, primal, and brutally honest sense of humor, has criticized his former America's Got Talent colleague for doing such a salacious shoot with her daughter. Here's what Howard had to say about the photoshoot as well as his hilariously complicated relationship with Heidi Klum.

Why Heidi Klum Annoyed Howard Stern

Anyone who knows anything about Howard Stern's time on America's Got Talent knows that his fellow judge, Heidi Klum, constantly annoyed him. While Howard has claimed that he liked Heidi, he actually complained about her to the producers due to her "incessant" singing.

"[Heidi] thinks she's a singer because [her ex-husband] Seal let her sing on his Christmas album," Howard said on his radio show on October 17th, 2022.

The two sat next to each other on the judging panel and every time the show would cut to a commercial break, Howard had to listen to her humming to herself; usually, "Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward. Eventually, it got to be too much for the easily-perturbed former shock jock so the producers had to intervene.

According to Howard, the AGT producers told Heidi to stop singing due to potential copyright issues. Of course, it was only to get her to cease annoying the Sirius satellite radio star.

On top of all of this, Heidi was obsessed with social media and wanted to record everything. Howard, on the other hand, just wanted to do the job and go home. But from time to time, he'd give in to Heidi's demands for a selfie or to film behind-the-scenes footage. Howard has admitted that he let her get away with this due to her beauty.

But Heidi Klum's indisputable beauty isn't enough to stop Howard from criticizing her recent photoshoot with her daughter, Leni.

Howard Stern On Heidi And Leni Klum's Controversial Photoshoot

On October 17th, Howard Stern addressed the Heidi and Leni Klum controversy on his show. During a conversation with his longtime co-host, Robin Quivers, Howard explained how the beautiful mother and daughter duo were hired by a lingerie company, Intimissimi, for a joint photoshoot. In it, both beauties are scantily clad and running around together.

"Is that appropriate?" Robin Quivers asked, much like many of those who commented on both Heidi and Leni's Instagram posts. "Mother and daughter lingerie? That sounds like [an adult video]."

"I looked at it and I thought, 'This is so f***ing' out of line," Howard claimed. "It is so inappropriate. But you can't stop looking at it."

"It looks like a guy's [personal] fantasy," Howard admitted. "They're kissing and they're holding each other. And they're frolicking."

After Robin asked him if Heidi ever considered how some would view a photoshoot of this nature, Howard simply answered, "No."

"The whole time I'm looking at [the pictures] with [my wife] Beth, I'm thinking, 'What is wrong with Heidi? What is she doing?' That's her daughter," Howard said on his SiriusXM radio show. "But maybe she's a genius."

After all, it has gotten everyone talking about her...

Howard then went on to explain that Heidi is always looking for ways to stay in the spotlight. The fact that she just ate cake from her lap when she reached 10 million Instagram followers further proves that point.

"When I was working with her on America's Got Talent, that's all she talked about," Howard said of Heidi's obsession with her social media relevancy. "She hired a team. I saw it! She planned this like the invasion of... Poland."

Howard then joked that Heidi wanted Leni in lingerie as soon as she came out of the womb because she knew it would get attention.

"Heidi posted a picture of the shoot on Instagram saying, 'Together we celebrate women,'" Howard read from an article, barely containing his laughter.

"Oh my God, sure you do..." Robin chimed in. "She's wacky. She's just wacky. Buy you got to love her."

While Howard, as well as Robin, says he appreciates both Heidi and Leni's incredible beauty, he joined the masses in criticizing the photoshoot. Ultimately, it was just a bit too "ick" for him.
