Despite her privilege, Khloé Kardashian hasn’t had the easiest life. The reality star’s final breakup with Tristan Thompson occurred before their second baby was born. The Kardashian also dealt with a skin cancer scare, and her weight has fluctuated over the years, earning cruel comments from many. This has also resulted in criticism of her social media posts, particularly on Instagram.
As is typical with celebrities or anyone living their life in the public eye, Kardashian’s every move is scrutinized. Everything is under a microscope, from her outfits to the photos she posts online.
While the attention can be positive with praise from fans and commenters, it’s often negative. It can sometimes be a combination of the two, like when followers show concern for Kardashian’s well-being over the captions she writes and the pictures she posts.
Editing photos has become the norm. We live in a fully digital era where people can perform surprisingly realistic edits or add filters to make themselves look different. Khloe Kardashian has been under fire for posting heavily edited photos on social media.
In 2021, she experienced her own photo scandal when an unedited image of herself was accidentally posted online. Subsequently, the internet mysteriously erased the image. Beyond that specific image, fans remain troubled by Khloé Kardashian’s posts, with much of the controversy often surrounding her weight.
Followers call her too skinny in a bikini selfie
To promote her Good American clothing line, she wore a bathing suit from the collection in a series of bikini selfies on Instagram. Encouraging fans to buy the pink bikini, she wrote the caption “link in bio baby,” without knowing she would be attacked for her appearance.
Although some people did compliment her, she also received criticism that she had gotten too thin, with one follower calling her out by saying, “How is this healthy?”
While some people complimented how Kardashian looked, others criticized her. Some people reacted negatively due to how thin Kardashian looked, worrying fans that she might be too skinny. Another begged her not to let “them stop you from eating,” though it’s unclear if “them” is Hollywood, the public, or her family. One commenter even called her “emaciated” in all caps.
The last time Khloe gave birth was in 2018, as her youngest child was conceived via surrogate. One fan raised a valid point when she brought up the fact that weight loss may be due to motherhood stress, saying that she dropped many pounds after having so many new duties as a mom she forgot to eat.
In the same pink bikini posted on Kardashian’s Instagram story, her bathing suit bottoms appear to be fitting loosely, which also led fans to be worried.
Concern expressed over Khloe’s photoshoot with Kim
Khloe posted a joint photo shoot with her sister Kim Kardashian in February 2023. The two wore matching bra tops and skirts in different colors. Kim left the comment, “Pam and Carmen!!!!” Which was most likely a reference to two queens of the 90s, Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson.
But fans remembered what Kourtney once said (“When I’m super skinny, just know I’m not happy ………. “) and kept the sentiment in the back of their minds.
A disturbed fan said it looked like the sisters were competing in a game of who could “show all their ribs the fastest,” while another bluntly said, “Somebody please feed them.“
Gossip has spread about the sisters using Ozempic; the diabetes drug has been discovered as a new shortcut to weight loss by celebs. Khloe even went on IG to deny using it, but people were skeptical.
Does Khloé have low confidence? Her ever-changing face makes people wonder
A year before the unedited photo controversy broke the internet, Khloé had people suspicious about editing in another incident. She shared two photos from the same week, but they looked extremely different in each of them. The first image has an airbrushed look that made her look almost like Barbie, and she was accused of using a filter by followers, who also added that due to the ease of altering pictures online, nothing was real on social media.
Just days later, Khloé Kardashian shared another post with a video and two pictures. Here, she didn’t look like the same person. One commenter warned her to “be careful how many changes you do to your face,” reminding Khloe that she was beautiful before and didn’t want to have any regrets from too many procedures.
Others speculated that insecurity and low self-esteem were the reasons behind the constantly changing looks. But Kardashian had a sarcastic clapback for all the people who had something to say. When one commenter asked about the variations, she sarcastically responded, “From my weekly face transplant clearly.”
Although many people are convinced she’s had extensive plastic surgery, the reality star says the only procedure she’s had is a nose job.
