There has been so much said about Khloe Kardashian’s unedited pic and the psychology that drove her to hide it.

Countless fans are very concerned about her mental and emotional well being.

But some are just having a laugh at her expense as she continues to obscure her true looks.

Khloe looks at too many comments for her own good, and she is clapping back.

Khloe posed some very cool photos of herself modeling in colorful lighting.

She looked very good, and of course she did.

Even (especially!) without filters and photoshop, Khloe is a stunningly beautiful woman.

Many celebrities avoid reading their own comments, especially when they have been in hot water lately.

Khloe is not following that rule, and instead poured through her comments.

She left lots of hearts and thanks for dozens and dozens and dozens of compliments.

But this also means that Khloe saw some hurtful comments.

If she was meant to see them, she was likely not expected to respond.

“If insecurity [were] a person,” one commenter wrote, taking a jab at Khloe.

Khloe absolutely saw this comment.

She could have ignored it. She could have mashed that block button.

Instead, she opted to respond in a surprising way.

“Baby girl, you have to look in the mirror,” Khloe’s reply began.

She declared that “only insecure people tear other people down.”

That doesn’t sound wrong, does it?

“I’m sending you so much love, health, and happiness!” Khloe wrote.

“I’m sorry that you’re hurting,” she expressed.

There’s a bit of an edge, or underside, to that reply.

Is that reply patronizing, condescending, and more?

Yes.

But that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a smart way to respond.

It also doesn’t mean that there wasn’t some genuine compassion behind it.

Every now and then, you see someone make a cruel comment and it’s like their whole miserable existence flashes before your eyes.

Invariably, it comes from someone unhappy who feels powerless … and venting into the “void” of social media makes them feel better.

The problem with that, of course, is that social media isn’t a void.

There are real people on the other end, and even celebrities will sometimes see your tweets.

This can mean that people’s days are ruined … which of course makes some trolls want to do it even more to seek that thrill again.

So, Khloe showing some compassion, even if she was weaponizing it, is great.

The trouble, though, is that many of the people who talk about Khloe or comment on her photos aren’t trolls.

Some clearly are, but others are genuinely, legitimately concerned about her obvious body dysmorphia.

Khloe is a stunningly, extraordinarily beautiful woman.

She put in a lot of work, the kind that only rich people have the time and resources for, into her “revenge body.”

Huge portions of Khloe’s schedule are dedicated to her fitness regime, and it shows.

But somehow, that’s not enough, and it’s not just her body that gives Khloe pause.

She distorts her face, filtering it beyond recognition, with alarming frequency.

Khloe insists that it’s not her fans’ business to talk about … seeing concern as the same as body-shaming. It’s just not.

Last week, Khloe Kardashian defended her desperate attempt to scrub one authentic photo of her from the internet.

The backlash has been complicated, with fans noting that it’s not just because she’s a public figure.

With this, fans note, Khloe is making herself part of the problem that she claims to fight against.

Now, with that in mind, fans are saying that Khloe missed what could have been a phenomenal opportunity.

Everyone in the world has every right to want to control their own image.

That is part of the beauty of selfies … and why some geriatric blowhards raised hell about them about a decade ago.

Things do get a little more complicated when it comes to public figures, but the feelings are still valid.

Also, copyright holders — with specific exceptions — have a legal right to exercise some control over their art.

This includes photography.

Unless you forfeit your rights to a photo, yes, you can ask a social media user to take it down.

So this is not about people accusing Khloe of being in the wrong for being upset. Mostly, anyway.

Khloe looked great in the photo, which did make her reaction strange.

The primary issue now, over a week after the pic was accidentally posted, is the hypocrisy of it all.

“Representing Body Acceptance,” reads the Good American (Khloe’s brand) slogan.

Khloe has poured her entire brand into fighting against the pernicious body-shaming that she herself endured.

There’s just one problem with that, and it’s illuminated by her recent “scandal.”

Does Khloe really believe in body acceptance?

She transformed her look years ago, getting her famous “revenge body” and redefining her public image.

Khloe is one of the hottest women on the planet … but accepting that fact seems as hard for her as accepting her body.

It is not Khloe’s fault that she has body dysphoria.

This is something that was inflicted upon her, largely by society’s reaction to her in comparison to her sisters.

Remember, Khloe became famous at a time when “ironic” body-shaming was considered en vogue.

So when Khloe edits her face beyond recognition again and again, that’s not malice.

When she scrambles and reportedly “goes ballistic” in trying to get one natural photo of her purged from social media, there’s no bad intention.

In both cases, most fans see these as cries for help from a woman who cannot love herself without a filter.

But that is not to say that there are not problems with her actions.

There are two choices that she can make to avoid the backlash that she is receiving.

She can stop being part of the problem and she can stop being a hypocrite.

How is she part of the problem?

When a famous, beautiful woman as influential as a Kardashian over-filters herself, what kind of message does that send?

The Kardashians have the power to redefine cultural beauty standards, and that comes with real responsibility.

How is she a hypocrite?

By tying her brand to body acceptance and profiting from the idea without practicing it herself.

That is an almost textbook definition of hypocrisy.

Khloe has so many good qualities and she has an incredible body.

Her photo “leaking” is a missed opportunity for her own mental health and for her brand.

If she hadn’t made a desperate, futile attempt to erase it from the internet, no one would even be talking about it. Poor Khloe.
