Khloe vs Chloe: Internet slams Khloe Kardashian for body-shaming Chloe Grace Moretz in old tweet
Are the Kardashians ever not at the center of drama? As old tweets resurface, Khloe Kardashian is the focus of a major controversy. She is accused of bullying Chloe Grace Moritz and making fun of the actress' body. Khloe took a jab at Moritz in an attempt to defend Kim Kardashian but managed to land herself the title of bully by netizens.
Chloe Grace Moritz has recently come forward with struggles of body dysmorphia and anxiety, which cause her to have extremely low self-esteem, as she discussed a heartbreaking meme that circulated on social media. Netizens were quick to point out the reason behind a then 15-year-old getting body-shamed, and most pointed fingers at 'The Kardashians' star, referring to an old feud between the two on Twitter in 2016.

After Kim Kardashian, who was feuding with Taylor Swift at the time, shared 'proof' that the singer was 'lying' to fans, Chloe was quick to defend the 'Blank Space' singer, tweeting, "Everyone in this industry needs to get their heads out of a hole and look around to realize what's ACTUALLY happening in the REAL world. Stop wasting your voice on something so petulant and unimportant." To which Khloe decided the best way to defend her sister Kim would be by releasing pictures of the 'Carrie' actress. The reality TV star who claims to have struggled with body issues herself shared several pictures of the then 15-year-old suffering an embarrassing bikini malfunction. She wrote: "Is this the a hole you're referring to @ChloeGMoretz ???" Chloe said, "Fact check: first photo is me filming my movie Neighbors 2, the second photo is some girl who was wrongfully photographed."
The feud got so heated that even actress Ruby Rose chimed in her two cents, defending Moretz, saying, "Yo Khloe I thought you were rad when I met you but this is awful and this is a 19-year-old girl. Nobody likes being bullied or made to feel worthless. Yet so many people will go above and beyond to make others feel that way."
Although the feud is a matter of the past, the recent news of Moritz stating she feels heartbroken because of all the memes made netizens recall the harrowing experience she faced. "That was such an unnecessarily nasty moment. She was a teen raising a valid concern, tweeting those pictures as some sort of a 'this you?' was sooo," said a user on to the Reddit thread calling Khloe out. Another noted Khloe's misjudgement, saying, "Oh, I fully agree that the point Chloe made wasn't fully it, although in 2016 it probably aligned well with the popular feminist discourse. But I understand where she's coming from as a young woman on that industry, there is some validity to it. The response was very out of hand and didn't help Kim in the slightest." A fan wrote, "It was a missed opportunity for the Kardashians to say 'don't shame women for what they do with their bodies'. Instead they bullied a teenager." Another just said, "Also she shared a naked picture of a woman who wasn't CGM thinking it was her. The women in the picture's swimsuit had exposed her. Khloe sucks."
The struggles of Chloe Grace Moritz
This isn't the first time the internet has created a meme on Chloe's body issues. Over time, the actress has faced plenty of backlash over her figure, which has undoubtedly made her less confident about her image. In a recent interview with Hunger magazine, Chloe told the outlet that a meme comparing a photo of her to a long-legged 'Family Guy' character left her with body dysmorphia. "I just remember sitting there and thinking, 'My body is being used as a joke and it's something that I can't change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram,'" she said. "The photo got manipulated into a character from Family Guy with the long legs and the short torso, and it was one of the most widespread memes at the time." She states the trauma still haunts her.
