Kim Kardashian slammed for her ‘problematic’ comments about sister Khloe’s drastic weight loss in ‘disturbing’ video
KIM Kardashian has been slammed over her “problematic” comments about her sister Khloe’s drastic weight loss.
The reality star, 41, broached the topic of her younger sibling’s shrinking frame in the second episode of The Kardashians on Wednesday.
Kim was ripped for dismissing her sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s concern over Khloe’s weight.
She kicked off the conversation by telling Khloe: “You look very skinny.
“Not that I’m trying to out them but Kendall and Kylie did say that they were a little concerned for you because you look really skinny and I said I think she’s a bit stressed.”
Khloe struggled to suppress a grin and said, “And Kendall said it? The model? Wow.”

Kim went on: “I said, ‘No guys, it’s fine.’ I said, ‘You absolutely have every right to be concerned but I’m telling you, she’s fine’.”
Khloe appeared to celebrate her sisters’ concern, lifting her leg into the air and doing a little dance.
Kim then turned serious and asked: “How are you feeling?”
Khloe admitted she was struggling to deal with her baby daddy Tristan Thompson’s cheating and love child scandal.

“It’s a lot but I just like to isolate and deal with things on my own. Everyone has problems so why would I bring… you’ve just got to deal with that?” she said.
“All of it sucks and it’s humiliating. It’s hurtful. I just don’t have anything else to give. I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I’m strong’.”
She added: “I’m literally just numb to all of this s**t. Like how much can people take?”
Kim went on to tell Khloe that she’s “10 times neater” than herself and the sisters ended the conversation by hugging.
FAN BACKLASH
Critics were less than impressed with how Kim handled Kendall and Kylie’s concern for Khloe as well as Khloe’s own comments about her wellbeing.
One wrote on Reddit: “Khloe told Kim she’s not okay, Kim just starts projecting ‘yes you are, so strong’.
“It’s hard to believe these people are close, they are very awkward and distant talking about serious issues.”
Another added: “It’s not like Khloe said, ‘Yes, I’m good’ Kim asked her and she literally said she’s not doing well. Kim didn’t care at all and started ‘You are so strong’ instead.”
A third posted: “Kendall and Kylie are seriously worried about Khloe and Kim just insists she’s fine? The way these girls view body image is so problematic and f**ked up!”
DRASTIC WEIGHT LOSS
Khloe has sparked major concern in recent months with her dramatic weight loss.
The Hulu star has been showing off her taut abs and slim physique on social media and on the red carpet.
Fans have been voicing their theories that her weight loss is due to her heartbreak earlier this year.
Tristan welcomed a son named Theo, now five months old, with Marale Nichols, 31, back in December 2021.
He had an affair with Maralee when he was supposedly mutually exclusive with Khloe – who he shares a daughter True and a baby son with.
In June, both Kim, 41, and Khloe were accused of getting secret plastic surgery to spark their recent drastic weight loss.
A surgery blog speculated that both sisters had had an endoscopic sleeve – which is a newer type of minimally invasive weight-loss procedure.
The Instagram account SurgeonMadeCurves shared a photo of Kim, looking slim in a tiny bikini while on vacation.
Thet wrote: “I’m getting vibes that her and Khloe did the endoscopic sleeve but not sure.
“For those wondering, they cut your stomach like a mini sleeve but they go via your mouth/throat.”
