During last night’s explosive part two of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion, Khloe Kardashian got candid about the source of her body image problems. Khloe was frequently made to feel like the third wheel, from attempting to “wiggle into” the same size body-con dress as Kim to watching stylists pamper Kourtney and Kim during photoshoots.
“Interestingly enough, I was so confident and secure before the show,” Khloe said.
When critics began calling Khloe “fugly” and other derogatory terms, she began to doubt her own beauty. “That’s when I became hard on myself because I was like, ‘Oh, this is how other people perceived me,'” Khloe said. “I became insecure because of everyone else telling me.”
She said, “for me, everyone says, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s had her third face transplant,’ but I’ve had one nose job,” Khloe confirmed about her plastic surgery. “And everyone gets so upset, like, why don’t I talk about it. No one’s ever asked me.”
She also revealed that she has tried injections but isn’t a fan of Botox. She admitted, “I’ve responded horribly to Botox.”
However, Khloe’s self-esteem was further eroded by her sisters’ special treatment.
“We did so many photoshoots where they would receive racks and racks of clothes and I was told by so many different stylists, I was given about two or three pieces of clothing but not to worry because I would be in the background anyway,” she heartbreakingly revealed.
Khloe’s brand, Good American, has a full-size range, and she mentioned during the reunion that she will not work with retailers who do not order sizes 00 through 24. “I don’t want people to feel like they have to be a certain size to be accepted,” Khloe added. “I just want people to be healthy.”
Khloe Kardashian took to Instagram on April 7 to verify that a leaked swimsuit photo was not doctored. “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,” she explained. “And when I take that criticism to use as motivation to get myself in the best shape of my life and to even help others with the same struggles I am told I couldn’t have done it through hard work and I must have paid for it all.”
