Khloe Kardashian Breaks Silence On Leaked Bikini Pic

By Lillian Searles

Khloe Kardashian has broken her silence after an unauthorized photo of her surfaced over the weekend, causing many on social media to comment, critique and bully her appearance.

 

Along with an untouched, unedited video from her bathroom on Wednesday, The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 36, shared a candid post about body image on her Instagram. 

 

The photo — showing Khloe poolside in a bikini without any substantial photo edits or airbrushing — was quickly pulled by Khloe’s team, and publications were asked to take it down.

 

“When someone takes a photo of you that isn’t flattering in bad lighting or doesn’t capture your body the way it is after working so hard to get it to this point … you should have every right to ask for it to not be shared – regardless of who you are.”

 

Khloé said the truth of the situation is that “the pressure, constant ridicule and judgment my entire life to be perfect and to meet other’s standards of how I should look has been too much to bear.” 

 

She then listed mean comments she’s heard from haters: “‘Khloé is the fat sister.’ ‘Khloé is the ugly sister.’ ‘Her dad must not be her real dad because she looks so different.’ ‘The only way she could have lost that weight must have been from surgery.'”

 

And said her feelings are dismissed because she’s a rich reality TV star.

 

She continues, “It’s almost unbearable trying to live up to the impossible standards that the public have all set for me. For over a decade now in photos, every single flaw and imperfection has been micro-analyzed and made fun of to the smallest detail and I am reminded of them every day by the world.”

 

“You never quite get used to being judged and pulled apart and told how unattractive one is, but I will say, if you hear anything enough then you start to believe it.”

 

She says everyone, including her, should have the right to remove a photo they might not like and to post what makes them feel happy, saying, “I have realized that we cannot continue to live life trying to fit into the perfect mould of what others have set for us. Just do you and make sure your heart is happy.”

 

Of course the Kardashians — and their extended team — chimed in heavily in the comments. 

Kim wrote, “I love you Khloe” with Khloé responding that her older sister is her “rock” and “lifeline.” 

Kylie wrote, “love you sooooo much.” 

Kendall said, “yes! you beautiful, strong HEALTHY queen.” 

 

And Kris called her daughter “the kindest most loving, most supportive, most beautiful heart I have ever known.”
