Khloe Kardashian has been the subject of intense scrutiny following the latest episode of “The Kardashians” on Hulu. Viewers took to social media to express their shock at her seemingly altered appearance, with many attributing her new look to plastic surgery. This isn’t the first time Khloe has faced such accusations, but the recent comments have reignited the conversation about her changing appearance.

On Reddit, one fan commented, “Khloe looks unrecognizable in the interview sessions with all the plastic surgery she has gotten. It makes me kinda sad for her because… she has been my favorite sister since day one.” The user went on to express empathy for Khloe, attributing her transformation to the harsh treatment she has received from the media over the years, which they believe has significantly impacted her self-esteem. Another user added, “Honestly, people are cruel to her. They always have been.”

Khloe, who is 39 years old and a mother of two, has openly discussed her cosmetic procedures in the past. She has admitted to having a nose job and using fillers but has stated that she avoids Botox. Earlier this year, fans speculated that she had undergone additional procedures after she appeared at an event for her sister Kourtney Kardashian’s wellness brand, Lemme, with noticeably fuller lips.

Despite the criticism, many fans have come to Khloe’s defense, praising her for her openness about her cosmetic enhancements and her dedication to her family. In response to the recent backlash, one fan wrote, “Okay but Khloé’s outfit,” accompanied by heart-eye emojis, highlighting her style and support for her sister over the negative comments about her appearance.

Khloe has credited her significant weight loss—over 60 pounds over the years—as a major factor in her changing looks. “Anyone who ‘looks up’ to me must know I’ve lost over 60 pounds over the years,” she said on Instagram after being questioned about her face. She also emphasized that she didn’t feel the need to continuously update fans on her cosmetic procedures, stating, “I didn’t know I had to do a running list.”

As Khloe navigates the challenges of public scrutiny, she continues to prioritize her family and personal well-being. New episodes of “The Kardashians” Season 5 stream weekly on Disney+, offering fans a glimpse into the lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family.

Khloe’s journey highlights the pressures faced by celebrities in the spotlight and underscores the importance of self-love and resilience in the face of relentless public judgment.
