A recently resurfaced 2017 photo of the Kardashian sisters has reignited a discussion about Khloé Kardashian’s treatment by the media and online communities. Fans are now speaking out against the body-shaming she endured, insisting that Khloé was never “fat” despite the hurtful labels assigned to her during that era.

Khloé has long been open about her struggles with weight and body image. Often compared to her sisters and branded as “chubby” or “less attractive,” the media’s harsh scrutiny took an emotional toll on the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star. A fan-shared throwback photo of Khloé with her sisters has sparked fresh outrage, with many condemning the unrealistic and cruel body standards of the 2000s.

Earlier this year, Khloé revealed her ongoing battle with body image after giving birth to her daughter, True Thompson. Weighing 204 pounds post-pregnancy, she was reminded of past insecurities but remained determined to embark on another weight loss journey. Standing 5 feet 10 inches, Khloé has always been taller than her sisters, which contributed to her being unfairly labeled as the “chubby” one growing up. Despite being athletic and active in sports, she struggled with self-perception.

Khloé’s emotional eating and yo-yo dieting have been well-documented, with the star opening up about these challenges in a recent She podcast appearance. Reflecting on her journey, she shared that even during her heaviest times, she never truly saw herself as “fat,” despite the cruel remarks from the media.

Fans have echoed her sentiment, pointing out that Khloé always looked beautiful. One commenter summarized the collective frustration: “The 2000s were a sick time.” Many expressed sadness over the body shaming Khloé endured, acknowledging that she was never overweight but rather a victim of toxic beauty standards.
