Khloe Kardashian unedited bikini photo update – Star 'makes MILLIONS from women's body issues but hides behind filters'
KHLOE Kardashian has made a fortune out of women's body insecurities while hiding behind filters herself, critics have said.
For somebody who has spent their life promoting flat-tummy teas, appetite suppressant lollipops and selling shapewear and collagen supplements, Khloe's reaction to the unflattering bikini photo leak was surprising.
Public relations expert Meg Kardasz told NBC News that Khloe's insistence on trying to erase the photo from the internet sent the message that a natural body is shameful and only contributed to a dangerous cycle.
“She shouldn't be subjected to those criticisms — nobody should, whether you're famous or not, nobody should be subjected to those words in that criticism and that pressure,” Kardasz said.
“But at the end of the day, she does need to hold herself accountable for the images that she puts out. She has a control to change the narrative.”
It comes as Khloe gave clues that she was frustrated with fans judging her on her "different faces" and changing body before unedited bikini photo leaked.
Weeks before all of the recent drama, the 36-year-old had been liking tweetsmade by people defending her from all the judgment.
Fans claimed that no one ever gives Khloe "a break at all" and that being slammed is "just another day of being a Kardashian."
Khloe hearted these tweets, as well as others that noted how these negative comments could "take a toll on her mental health."
Since the photo leaked last week, the Kardashians’ crisis management team has desperately attempted to completely remove the leaked snap of Khloe from the internet – even sending out “legal threats” to take down the bikini shot.
It is believed that the photo was taken by Khloe’s grandmother MJ and posted by an assistant due to a “miscommunication”.
The star broke her silence by saying she has suffered "constant ridicule and judgement" about her appearance all her life, Khloe suggested the unfiltered picture going viral had been "too much to bear'.
The photo sent shockwaves around the world after appearing to highlight how much Khloe edits her social media snaps.
Although she looks stunning in the unfiltered pic, it bears very little resemblance to the sort of highly edited snaps Khloe would usually post online.

KHLOE SHOULD BE FORGIVEN AFTER ATTEMPTED RECLAIM OF UNFILTERED BIKINI PICTURE SAYS MODEL JODIE KIDD
British model Jodie Kidd has defended Khloe Kardashian over her bikini picture photoshop controversy.
The former model said that Khloe should be forgiven for attempting to remove the picture of herself from social media as she has been born into a culture of having the “perfect look”.
Speaking to the Mail Online she said: “That’s always been an LA thing. Everyone’s got to look perfect, with the perfect teeth and the perfect hair. It’s been like that way before the Kardashians.
“It’s just the mindset of someone who lives in Los Angeles. For me as a model who travelled round the world in the nineties that was one thing that really put me off Los Angeles. If you’ve been brought up there, that’s the norm.”

KIM SHOWS OFF NORTH'S 'SPECIAL EFFECTS' MAKEUP SKILLS AS TROLLS SAY IT LOOKS LIKE 'PEANUT BUTTER'
Kim Kardashian showed off yet another of North's creative talents as she displayed the seven-year-old's "special effects" makeup skills.
The KUWTK star, 40, proudly displayed the youngster's "scar" on her cheek made using tissues and foundation – although cruel trolls said it looked more like "peanut butter". Kim posted a close-up of North's face after she created a pink "scar" across her nose and cheeks and bunched up mangled tissues on her cheek to resemble a wound.
While Kim – who is in the midst of a nasty divorce with Kanye West – was clearly impressed with their eldest child's abilities, some of her followers were quick to criticize the look. "Looks like peanut butter in her cheek, but anyways," another added, while a third posted: "When you're a star kid, anything you do became creative."

FANS THINK KHLOE SHOULD LEARN FROM KOURTNEY ON RESPONDING TO BODY IMAGE CRITICISMS
AFTER an unedited photo of Khloe leaked last week, the 36-year-old worked to have the image scrubbed from the internet.
Though many thought the reality star looked great, she told fans she didn’t think it was “flattering” because of “bad lighting.”
In a lengthy Instagram note, she added that she’s struggled with body image issues for a long time, after hearing many criticisms about her figure over the years, and didn’t want the unedited, leaked photo out there.
Previously, Kourtney responded to similar comments about her body when she shared an image that showed off her stomach and fans started spreading rumors that she was pregnant.
She simply ended the conversation about it by saying that she wasn’t pregnant and had simply gained some weight and was happy with it.
Some KUWTK fans on Reddit praised Kourtney for her simple response and suggested Khloe learn from her sister and address issues head on in the future, as she’s been accused of surgeries and editing photos in the past and only hinted at responses.

A source recently shared with HollywoodLife that Kim’s been “frustrated” as Kanye only sees their four kids “on his schedule.”
Like Kim, Kanye is not asking for any spousal support and suggests that they each pay for their own divorce lawyers.

TRUE Thompson had an unexpected guest at her birthday bash on Monday, which mom Khloe Kardashian threw to celebrate her turning three.
On her Instagram Story, Kylie Jenner shared that soon after she and daughter Stormi, 3, arrived at the celebration, she spotted a giant, white bird hanging out by the pool.
Not wanting to get too close, the 23-year-old zoomed in on the bird while standing from afar.
Family matriarch Kris Jenner, who wore a floral ensemble for the occasion, tried to get closer to the bird and walked over very slowly, trying not to scare it.
Kylie laughed a little as her mom made her way over, then panned over to the bird again, saying: “I love him.”
