This happened in April of 2021, however it fits the theme of this blog too well to not put it in.
It got a lot of media attention when an unedited bikini picture of Khloe Kardashian was posted by a member of her team, but it wasn't approved by her. She immediately wanted it down and threatened to sue anyone that keeps in on the internet. Many people that were reposting it were calling Khloe beautiful and human, I personally saw the picture before it got taken down forever and I agree. But because the Kardashians are known for their extensive plastic surgery and editing, Khloe just did not feel comfortable showing the real her from an angle that she didn't choose. She then took to Instagram to post this:
A few more posts in between and the last one was:
As Khloe made it clear, she herself still struggles with body image, even though the Kardashian sister are considered to be THE standard with their looks and surgery. She prefers to take pictures herself where she can control the lighting, pose and flexing muscles. It can make THAT much of a difference, and that is what I'm trying to put emphasis on.
Surgery is often said to be addicting. Once you fix one "flaw", you'll just move on to the next. And from this example, we can see even if all the surgeries are done, the inside does not have to feel like the outside. Confidence is not about how we look, it's about how we feel. So let this be a lesson. If someone is considering surgery and is not allowed to or doesn't have the financial aspect, do not be sad about it because chances are it is not going to help you. You need to make the change yourself from within, as Khloe said.
