Sorry, but Chloë Grace Moretz is definitely not sorry about that whole Kim Kardashian feud.
The 19-year-old had a very public social media spat with the 35-year-old reality star in March, when Chloë criticized Kim for sharing a totally-nude mirror selfie on both Twitter and Instagram.
But as she covers Glamour's June issue, the Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising star says she doesn't regret what she said — and, frankly, didn't think much of Kim's comeback, either.

On March 7, Kim shared the much-buzzed-about photo that included black bars places over her private parts for 'modesty'. The image sparked a pretty big public debate, with celebrities Bette Midler and Pink chastising Kim for her attention-hungry tactics, and other stars like Emily Ratajkowski coming to her defense.
'I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies,' Chloë tweeted at Kim.
'I had just gotten off a plane from South Korea, I was incredibly jet-lagged, and I couldn’t take one more thing. I saw that photo, and I had to say something,' Chloë explained to Glamour. 'That picture wasn’t linked to body confidence. It wasn’t a #BodyConfidence or #LoveWhoYouAre.
'It was done in a slightly voyeuristic light, which I felt was a little inappropriate for young women to see... I would hate for young women to feel they need to post certain photos in order to gain likes, retweets, favorites, and male attention.
'I wasn’t slut shaming,' she insisted, making the point that her criticism was more about gratuitous nudity that accomplishes nothing positive. 'It’s not about body shaming.'
Nudie: In March, Kim posted a nude picture on Instagram and Twitter that received quite a bit of buzz
Not impressed: Chloë criticized her publicly for the gratuitous nudity
Not impressed: She told Glamour that she was tired and just snapped at the attention-grabbing ploy — but insists she wasn't slut shaming
Whatever, girl: After Kim fired back with an 'aggressive' response, Chloë said she laughed — and doesn't care, because Kim's premise that 'no one knows who she is' isn't true
Kim, of course, saw it a different way, claiming the sexy selfie was 'empowering' and took a page out of Donald Trump's insult playbook to write: 'let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is.'
Chloë wasn't a bit phased by the insult, taking comfort in her 2.31 million Twitter followers, 6.2 million Instagram followers, and People's Choice and MTV Movie Awards.
'I started laughing,' she said of the moment she read the tweet. 'I was at dinner with my family [when] I got the notification [on my phone]. I look at it and I go, "Oh my God. She responded."
Though her mom was offended by the 'girl-on-girl hate', Chloë just saw the response as ridiculous.
'It was aggressive, and also it was incorrect. I don’t have 45 million followers or a TV show that follows my life. But people know who I am. I pride myself on having opinions, and I don’t express them in snarky ways toward people,' she said.
She's with her: Chloë also spoke about supporting Hillary Clinton's bid for president
You go girl: She stumped for her in Nevada and said meeting Hillary was great because she 'asked what I thought were the biggest problems facing Americans my age'
Chloë — who posed for Glamour's cover in a leather jacket by the (unaffiliated) fashion brand Chloé — also opened up about her support for Hillary Clinton.
The first-time voter campaigned for her at a meeting of the Clark County Young Dems in Nevada ahead of the state's caucuses in February, and even had an opportunity to speak with the former Secretary of State.
'She wasn’t just like, "Oh, you’re a celebrity who’s campaigning for me. Thank you." She asked what I thought were the biggest problems facing Americans my age,' Chloë said. 'And what it was like to grow up with a single mom. And four older brothers — were they oppressive or supportive? What’s it like growing up with gay brothers?'
Budding romance: However, the star didn't want to talk about her relationship with Brooklyn Beckham, 17
Hush hush: She said her love life is nobody's business so she wants to keep it private
Outspoken: Chloë (pictured at Monday night's met Gala) said she prides herself on having opinions
But while the actress was perfectly candid about her political opinions — and opinions about fellow celebrities — she wasn't quite so open about her love life.
Chloë is currently dating Victoria and David Beckham's 17-year-old son Brooklyn, but said she didn't want to share details about their romance.
'Because it’s no one’s business. These moments are supposed to be so personal and special —you’re building a foundation with someone or just having fun and going on a date,' she said. 'No one needs to know about that, and I hate to see that stuff broadcast on TV.'
