Shocking images of Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner with black eyes and split lips went viral on Tuesday as part of a campaign to stop violence against women. The images, though, were used and Photoshopped without their permissiom. TMZ said that attorneys for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars 'are reaching out to the artist responsible to issue a warning.' see other photos after the cut.

The website reported that neither Kim nor Kendall had signed off on their likenesses being used and that no-one had contacted them about being part of the initiative.

It turns out that the images used by artist and activist, aleXsandro Palombo, for the No Women is Immune from Domestic Violence project are from commercially-available paparazzi shots.

Making a point: Palombo chose Kendall and other high-profile celebrity women to raise awareness of  the International Day for Elimination of Violence on November 25

TMZ said while it's believed Kim and Kendall back the anti-violence cause, they also believe they should have the right to choose whether or not their images and likenesses, which are worth a lot of money, are used.

In addition to Kim and Kendall, other images used by Palombo include pics of Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Angelina Jolie and Emma Watson.
