Khloe Kardashian Speaks Out About Unedited Bikini Photo
Kardashian posted two unedited videos and a picture of her unedited body on Instagram today, standing up to critics. The images were accompanied by a lengthy explanation as to why she wanted the unedited bikini picture taken down from the internet.
“The photo that was posted this week is beautiful,” she wrote. “But as someone who has struggled with body image her whole life, 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 – and then shares it to the world – you should have every right to ask for it to not be shared – regardless of who you are.”

Kardashian also added 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.”
“It’s almost unbearable trying to live up to the impossible standards that the public have all set for me,” she continued.
Kardashian Offered Advice to Those Going Through the Same Thing
The 36-year-old feels that 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 also acknowledges that there are haters who have accused her of getting work done on her body. While she did admit to using filters and editing, Kardashian continues to present herself to the world in the way that she wants to be seen.
On episodes of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” there are many scenes where Khloe is hitting the gym hard. Not to mention her work on “Revenge Body.” It is clear that she takes pride in her stunning image, which she credits to “hard work.”
