“That’s the person I am:” Khloe Kardashian responds to trolling about her appearance

“So very grateful and appreciative of anyone who stands up to bullying”

The Kardashians are no strangers to criticism from trolls online, they’ve seen their fair share of mean tweets and comments.

Over the weekend Khloe Kardashian called out a publication that wrote a story about her appearance. The article was titled “Another face of Khloe” and the reality took to social to call out the piece and thank fans for having her back.

The story was about how much Khloe’s face had changed over the last 14 years and featured photos of her side by side from between 2007 and 2021.

TikTok star Casey Walsh was one of the first to spot the piece and call out the publication for writing such a personal article about her looks. That video was shared multiple times on social and Khloe ended up seeing it herself.

The star said: “I don’t want anyone to kiss my ass, I’m not asking for that. But what I am asking for is for people to realise just what articles like this does to someone’s soul and confidence.”

Khloe thanked Casey for calling out the publication and said she’s “so very grateful and appreciative of anyone who stands up to bullying or people writing story’s simply for clickbait.”

“Defending someone, especially when we don’t know one another makes me happy. That’s the person I am. I like to defend what is right. Thank you everyone for your sweet comments and thank you @mackincasey for being so kind.”

Last year the star spoke with Elle about how negative comments affect her and what she usually does when trolls come for her online. “At first, I would let stuff like that affect me. And now I really don’t care. Maybe if I’m having a bad day. But typically, I would say 90 percent of the time, it doesn’t affect me.”

“I would never take my time to shame someone or be negative. I only comment nice and positive things. Sometimes I have to fuck with people a bit. I try not to! I try to behave, but sometimes they’re just asking for it.”
