The unedited picture quickly went viral on social media, as many people shared how it was refreshing to see what seems like the closest thing to a 'natural' picture from the Kardashian family.
A spokesperson for the family shared that the unauthorised photo of Khloe was taken during a private family gathering. The family warned of legal action should the culprit who leaked the picture not take it down from social media.
Unfortunately, even though the picture was deleted, the internet is always quick to screenshot and circulate content.
As usual, there were some trolls on the internet, who pointed out that it is good that the world sees that even after her countless alleged plastic surgeries, she still has a real woman's body.
An emotional Khloe took to her Instagram account to share lengthy posts alongside a video of her in a bathing suit.
The photo that was posted this week is beautiful. 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
Khloe went on to further share how she had been so hurt by the constant commentary on her looks:
For those else who feel the constant pressure of not ever feeling perfect enough, I want you to know I see you and I understand. Every day, I am told by my family and friends who love me that I am beautiful, but I know that it needs to be believed from within. Just do you and make sure your heart is happy
