Khloe Kardashian Explains That Photoshopped Mirror Selfie

The Kardashians have been known to get a lot of heat for what they post on social media. This time, Khloe Kardashian is coming clean about an Instagram post she shared in February. You may remember Khloe was criticized because the picture appeared to be digitally altered.

In the photo in question, Khloe’s thigh appears slightly retouched. But what really caught the eye of most haters was the door frame behind Khloe, which looks distorted. The changes to the original image, which she took down and later reposted, are so minor, but Kardashian experienced flack and eventually clapped back.

Now, she is attempting to explain the snap once more.


Khloe has always been one of the realest Kardashians. So her Photoshop confession does not exactly come as a surprise. In an effort to clear things up once and for all, she took to her app, revealing that a car accident she was involved in at the age of 16 made the multiple leg surgeries she has had since necessary. “Whenever I post a picture of my legs on Instagram, everyone comments on how fucked up my knees look. It’s because I’ve had reconstructive surgery, you assholes!”

According to Khloe, her right leg is actually 1.5 inches thinner than her left leg, as a result of the surgeries. “Yes, I did Photoshop it, but I was trying to make my thinner leg look bigger to match my other leg!!! All I want are big, thick thighs and I hate how skinny my legs are.”

We don’t know about you, but we really appreciate Khloe coming clean. This incident serves as a good reminder that no one is perfect—not even the Kardashians.
