Khloe Kardashian slammed for mocking fat people in video: 'Out of touch with reality'

Khloe Kardashian says, 'I can't stand people who are, like, eating a bucket of Haagen-Dazs ice cream and they are like [mock-crying] 'I'm so fat''

An old Khloe Kardashian interview clip has resurfaced and gone viral. And the reality television star is getting flak for her comments, some of which body shame overweight people. In the clip, she can be heard saying, "I can't stand people who are, like, eating a bucket of Haagen-Dazs ice cream and they are like [mock-crying] 'I'm so fat'.”

"And like, they won't work out, they won't change their diet, they won't drink more water, they won't whatever,” Kardashian said. “But they’re like complaining, complaining, complaining. I’m like, well, you’re going to be in this victimized state. Because you’re literally not doing any -- you’re not being self-aware. You’re not even looking at your reflection, saying, ‘What can I do to change things about myself?’ It’s everybody else’s fault.”

The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star, however, has also opened up about her own body-image issues in the past. In a 2015 interview with People magazine, she said, “Growing up, I was always chubby. My girlfriends were always running around in two pieces and I never felt comfortable to do that.”

While she said that she felt comfortable in her own skin, despite the fact that she had a different body type than her two older sisters, “I knew I didn’t look like my sisters and I didn’t have those shapes, but I didn’t think that was wrong. I had parents who were incredibly loving and nurturing and always made me feel beautiful so I never really questioned that”, she also struggled with it. 

“Right before [KUWTK] started, I thought I was in good shape, but I guess not good enough for Hollywood’s eyes,” she said. “I didn’t realize I was the ‘fat’ sister until I went on TV and the media started saying that about me. Being compared to my sisters was something I was used to. But being compared in such a harsh way I just thought, ‘Okay, that’s my role.’ So I started saying it before people. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m the fat, funny sister. Who cares?’ I almost let that take ownership of me. [In reality] I wasn’t fat; I wasn’t obese. But I would let society make me believe that I was.”

Online, her comments were heavily criticized. “Didn’t we spend DECADES listening to you cry about being the fat ugly sister @khloekardashian? You really have THE NERVE!” wrote on Twitter user. Another person said, “Khloe kardashian is the very last person who should be talking about this. There are many reason for being fat/obese, and there are many reason to be upset with oneself. These are a cause an effect, they can overlap. Not everyone is crying about being fat. Projection huh?”

One tweet said, “khloe kardashian shitting on fat people for not changing their lifestyle while she perpetuates unattainable beauty standards via expensive plastic surgery will be my villain origin story.” Another tweet said, “I welcome any Khloe Kardashian slander cause she really do alot of unprovoked fat shaming.”

Another person wrote, “She really has no clue how incredibly privileged and out of touch with reality she is, this is just infuriating to watch. She forgets that not everyone has the time or money to be healthy, like it can be EXPENSIVE & some people work really long hours & have other obligations!”
