Khloé Kardashian's Unedited Photo Breaks the Internet As We Finally See How She REALLY Looks Like: The Truth About Her Transformation
Photo credit: Assistant with vendetta
Can’t wait to get hit with a cease and desist letter from Team Kardashian for using this photo.
I know I’m a little late, but it wouldn’t be exposingsmg without it being a hot minute. A lot of you guys were asking me about the Khloé Kardashian fiasco in which an unedited and unfiltered photo of Khloe made its way onto the Internet.
Despite Khloe looking pretty and as fit as ever, it caused the Internet to break because that was the first time we got a picture of Khloe without heavy photoshop, airbrushing, and altering it from every angle possible.
So how did this photo make it on the Internet without going through the Kardashians’ gruesome editing process? It was unauthorized and it was first posted on… Reddit!
Ah… all great crazy things come from Reddit.
Now if you are aware of the situation, you’re probably like “are you gonna get copyrighted for showing us this photo?” No, and I’ll tell you why AND why Team Kardashian should probably pipe the hell down.
According to Tracy Romulus, the chief marketing officer for KKW Brands, “The color edited photo was taken of Khloé during a private family gathering and posted to social media without permission by mistake by an assistant.”
She said that “Khloé looks beautiful but it is within the right of the copyright owner to not want an image not intended to be published taken down.”
This statement came after many users were apparently hit with cease and desist letters to scare the general public from sharing the photo!
I know what a cease and desist letter is because Chantel Jeffries once hit me with one, ahh… Chantel, buuuut if you don’t know, it’s basically a cautionary notice which details the sender's complaint of alleged wrongdoing by the recipient and threatening legal action if the offending activity is not stopped.
A cease and desist letter doesn’t mean you’re being sued but it’s basically a warning that says if you don’t stop, we will sue you.
It’s usually used to scare people from talking about powerful public figures such as celebrities. As someone who has run a very controversial exposing blog, I’ve been hit with them several times before - I’ve only shared the Chantel story, but in most cases, you just have to tell the lawyers to take a hike. But just in case you’re dealing with a cease and desist letter right now, I’d advise you not to take legal advice from me.
So Team Kardashian was out here trying to scare the general public from sharing this photo because Khloe didn’t want it out. Their defense was it is Khloe’s copyright because it’s her picture.
It’s actually the copyright of whoever took the photo - which is probably an assistant with one last vendetta against the Kardashians.
Kidding… but honestly, how would a photo like that make it out on the Internet? Other fans were saying it was accidentally posted by Khloe’s grandma? I don’t know and I don’t care. What I’m here to talk about is the REACTION of Team Kardashian and Khloe’s response. And of course some inside tea which I’ll spill later.
Khloe took to Instagram to share a video of herself wearing only bikini bottoms, hiding her chest with her arm, and said it was to prove her body was not photoshopped.
She posted this video and captioned it saying, “PS Yes I did a live to show you all this isn’t photoshopped.”
She then posted another video of her in sweats and a hoodie where she takes off the hoodie to show her figure as you can see here:
She then followed it up with a very lengthy statement which you can read down below:
The thing is… Khloe isn’t wrong. I wholeheartedly agree with her statement and I think she speaks for all women who feel crippling insecurities about their body.
I’m sure none of us would want an unauthorized photo of ourselves that is taken in bad lighting and from a bad angle to be plastered all over the Internet and mocked by thousands or even millions.
On the other hand….
Khloe is a victim of her own creation.
The Kardashians and the Jenners have crafted themselves to be the STANDARD to how women should look. They are notorious for being over the top with photoshop, plastic surgery, the filler, the editing, and the worst thing about it all… LYING ABOUT IT.
Remember when Kylie Jenner first got lip fillers and the world went crazy because everyone wanted Kylie lips? She swore with her whole chest that she was just overlining or that it was puberty, but then what happened? She came clean about the filler.
You can’t be someone like the Kardashians who are constantly in the spotlight and have a massive platform and are basically the founding fathers of the influencer world and then flat out LIE to people. But that’s what they do. They perpetuate this false reality of how women should look.
And listen, I’m not one to blame celebrities for the insecurities of us locals, but you can’t have this platform where you noticeably photoshop your photos to the point where you look NOTHING LIKE YOURSELF and then get mad that people are mad that you are basically a celebrity catfish.
So sure, I feel for Khloe and it must suck to have a photo that you don’t like being spread on the Internet, but the only reason it’s spreading on the Internet is from how much SHOCK the world is in because we all finally saw the real Khloe.
Khloe looks gorgeous in the picture. She looks fit as hell and she looks really pretty. But you know you are the problem when a regular photo of yours without eight thousand filters, resembles a completely different person.
And ultimately, I think that’s why people are upset.
I mean Khloe over does the photoshop more than her sisters do. Her face looks different in every picture which is why she’s constantly being put under the microscope for photoshopping more than the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan. It’s like she has the AUDACITY to post a picture where she literally looks like 15 different people.
One last thing I want to point out is the part in her statement when she quotes people saying, “Well the only way she could have lost the weight must have been from surgery.”
Oh lord… listen Khloe, no one goes from THIS first picture… to THIS second one…
by “working out.” There’s like some sort of implant or fat transfer going on there. I don’t care what celebrities get done jUST DON’T LIE ABOUT IT!
Her statement is almost gaslighting in a way because she’s not only perpetuating falsehoods (god I sound like Meghan Markle in that Oprah trailer), but she’s straight up mocking something that is true based on photo evidence alone.
Either way, I feel bad for Khloe but hopefully, this serves as a lesson to all public figures out there that like to get crazy with the photoshop…. DON’T.
Moving on to some inside tea…
What I’m about to say is something that I’ve spoken about before with fellow readers on our old ask box on Tumblr. For some odd reason, I can’t find it when I search Khloe’s name on there, but we all know Tumblr is out to get me.
Either way, many years ago we told you that Khloe Kardashian was supposedly doing a lot of cocaine to originally lose weight and she was reportedly taking A LOT of weight loss pills. Many sources reported that she was going on unhealthy diets in which she wasn’t even eating.

I’m not sure what she did to her butt, but sources believe she got butt implants and you can tell by the photos. Some other sources heard that she underwent liposuction to contour certain areas of her body.
I remember on ask telling you guys that Khloe was doing a lot of unhealthy things to lose weight and then she was going to debut a new show to show how she lost the weight but really she wasn’t working out the way it was portrayed on Revenge Body.
She literally profited off people getting into her program to lose weight despite the fact that Khloe didn’t transform the way she did naturally.
Either way, it’s clear that the way she got her body wasn’t the natural “eat right :) and work out” way so to gaslight the general public by pretending she didn’t get anything done is just low.
It’s clear she has self-esteem issues and the media has been horrible to her by crucifying her body throughout the past decade. I’m not taking away from that. However, it’s important to note that 1. lying about it ain’t it and 2. Khloe is a victim of a reality that she took part in creating.
People literally undergo surgery to look like the Kardashians.
