Khloe Kardashian covers the new issue of Us Weekly, for no reason other than her weight. Apparently, there was some issue last week because on some episode of one of the Kardashian shows, Kris Jenner told Khloe that she was negatively affecting “the Kardashian brand” because Khloe was eating cookies and she‘s bigger than her sisters. It was pretty rough. Anyway, this was enough to score Khloe the cover. Ugh. I mean… I like Khloe, but I really wish all of the Kardashian women would stop trying to become spokeswomen for positive body image, because all of them fail at it, spectacularly. All of them lie about their sizes, all of them have body image issues, and their mother doesn’t help matters, at all. Here’s an excerpt from the cover story:
It’s not easy being the “biggest” Kardashian sister. In the new issue of Us Weekly, out Wednesday, Khloe Kardashian admits red carpet events with older sibs Kim and Kourtney can take their toll on her self esteem.
“They are 5-foot and 5-foot-2, so I look massive next to them,” Khloe, who is 5-foot-10, tells Us. “Everyone expects me to be 9 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds [when they meet me].”
26-year-old Khloe — whose mom Kris Jenner even criticized her weight in a recent episode of Khloe and Lamar – has “struggled with her weight since she was 8 years old,” a family friend tells Us. “She was always taller and developed much broader shoulders than her petite sisters.”
Khloe’s mom Kris Jenner said Khloe was negatively affecting the brand by eating cookies. Then Khloe’s brother called her “big” and told her she needed to work out. Also, Khloe had photoshoot, during which she felt self-conscious. It was all too much for Khloe, who fell down on the kitchen floor and cried. “I’m so f-cking fat,” she said, and sobbed.
“I’m so tired of trying to pretend that I’m happy with my weight.”
And the E! reality star, happily married to basketball star Lamar Odom for over a year, says she first gained weight following Kris’ divorce from her late father, famed OJ Simpson trial attorney Robert Kardashian Sr.
“My brother [Rob] and I were always heavy. They gave us food to keep us comforted. All we did was eat crap,” she recalls.
Classmates and even her mom’s friends noticed that Khloe’s older sisters Kim, 30, and Kourtney, 32, stayed skinny despite the family turmoil. “I had older women tell me, ‘You should really work out,'” she explains. “It really got to me.”
Her initial response? A teenaged Khloe hit the gym, working out three times a day and eating tiny meals. She went from a size 12 to 0.
“I started to get a positive response from people when I was losing weight,” she admits.
Jesus, now she is claiming to be a size zero? Is she saying she is NOW a size zero, or that she used to be a size zero? While Kim is claiming to be a size 4? ORANGE BITCHES PLEASE. As I’ve said before, I don’t care what size you are. BUT DON’T LIE TO ME. Don’t ask me to buy your BS. Just keep your mouth shut.
By the way, Khloe ended up defending her mom about the cookie incident by saying that Kris was speaking to her as her manager, not as a mother. Ugh.

I think she meant she got down to a zero in high school during that exercise binge
I think she means she used to be a size zero. I think somewhere I once read that she had an eating disorder in her teens and was tiny. Could be wrong though. I wish the Kardashians would do something so that they didn’t have to get covers all the time about their WEIGHT. Actually, no, I wish they would do nothing and not be in on these covers.. even if I do find Khloe funny.
Shallow, thy name is Kardashian.
ohh she is sucking it in so hard it’s painful to watch! And the clownish make up! But common Kaiser, that’s not fair it’s obvious she is not claiming to be size 0, just that at one point she was (due to pressure to lose weight). I feel sorry for her, not cause she is fat or whatever but it must be harsh to have a pimp mom and sisters to who you are constantly compared.
wow, im so pissed off! that kardashian mom is a real piece of work, isn’t she, pushing her daughters into becoming living, breathing Barbie dolls for the money? i always thought a little bit fat on a woman is better than none, and even if she goes from a little fat to heavy, like Khloe, there’s a real woman sexiness to it… lots and lots of women are like this actually, and shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for enjoying… food! i just wish one of the kardashian sisters had the nerve to stand up to their mom.
why are these women famous?! please make them go away. they’re fug, tacky, and vapid. no redeeming qualities!
she is not even fat…. come on….. she is beautiful ♥♥
Khloe is not fat, however, she is capitalizing off of her weight issues.
that outfit is way too small on her. She needs to stop trying to be her sisters and just be herself.
I think she’d be lovely if she weren’t such a famewhore. She’s my favorite Kardashian.
she definitely was saying she used to be a size 0, when she was in high school. Even that i have a hard time believing, but she was not claiming to be a size 0 now. I like Khloe, she is by far the least annoying Kardashian sister, but I can’t feel bad for her. She is a huge famewhore. How many reality tv shows is she on now? If you don’t want people to judge you or comment on your physical appearance choose a career that doesn’t involve reality tv. That’s really all there is to it.
I’m all for people living healthy lives and taking control of their weight, but you’d think an adult, “happily” married woman would have enough confidence to not sob about her body image. At least not on a magazine cover.
Kris Kreated and still Kontributes to the unhealthy body images all of the vacant vessel Krew have.
Khloe is not fat. And that mother….she needs to cut the sh*t!
‘a TEENAGED Khloe hit the gym, working out three times a day and eating tiny meals. She went from a size 12 to 0.’
this clearly is referring to a DECADE ago.
uh, kaiser…are you ok today?
😆
I really think she is beautiful though. Her face seems the most natural/untouched compared to Kourt and Kim. Do you think it is? Or is Everyone in LaLa Land botoxed, nipped, etc?
Aww, I feel so bad for her. I think she is beautiful and her personality makes her even more attractive!
Her Mother is a PIG.
It clearly says she was a size 0 when she started going to the gym in her teenage years. She looks good although it must be a struggle for her to not gain weight, I know exactly how she feels…
Way to go Mom. Traumatize your kids with your personal life, and then blame them IN PUBLIC for the outcome.
Pig is right. A cat would have been a more fit parent than Kris.
She’s clearly saying that she worked herself down to a size 0 back during all the turmoil of her parents split… not now. To me, she’s the least offensive of that family. I think she’s lovely the way she is, and her mother is another disturbed, horrid Dina Lohan-esque monster. End of story.
“ORANGE BITCHES PLEASE”
Lmao! I love it when you get bitchy Kaiser. I’m the same way, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Her body is proportionate to her height. She is not phat. Look @ her bikini pic…flat tummy…very toned. So stfu.
She called Kris ‘satan’ during that epi…hilare!
im so over these fat mouthed disgusting parasites! how does a teenager have time to go to the gym 3 times a day? now she is pretending to tack on the cliche story of having an eating disorder when she was young? bitch please! all of them need to shut their traps over their dumb bodies. its the ONLY thing they ever talk about!
Btw- There’s a picture of the Kartrashians next to the word “delusional” in the dictionary.
From that brief excerpt, it sounds like she’s been systematically denigrated about her physical appearance since childhood. It’s more than weight. There’s also the implication that she’s not feminine enough. It’s no wonder she has a complex about it.
If I had her mom I’d be binge-eating as well
I feel bad for her, but there comes a time when she should accept who she is. She’s never gonna be pencil thin. She’s not grotesquely overweight. She’s a tall, thick girl. She’d be much happier and content with her life if she didn’t place so much emphasis on her & her sisters’ dress sizes. She needs to tell Kris to worry about the other kids and leave her alone.
I never used to like Khloe. But she’s grown on me. How can her mother compare her to her teeny sisters (I am referring to height). I think she looks fantastic. She’s 5’9″ for chissakes. She’s not going to weigh 100 pounds. She’s got a nice body.
I think she looks great and her “mother” needs to f^*k off.
This drama stinks of good cop/bad cop to me. 20 bucks says they’re trying to garner more sympathy for Khloe by playing up her weight issue. How convenient that the cameras where there to catch it too!
I mean, the media just can’t get enough of the sick relationship Blohan has with her mom. Of course the Kardashians are gonna work that angle.
Stay Klassy ladies.
I know how she feels – I’m 5’11 and range from size 8-12, usually size 10. One week of every month a absolutely hate myself. Sad but true. I snap out of it, but it comes back just when I feel my best. But yeah, I’ll never be 100 pounds and haven’t been since I was like 12 years old. Bah!
Her mom sucks all kinds of ass
Khloe has pretty eyes. Other than that, she’s very shallow and overrated. Probably the most annoying of the clan.
um, she’s average and she thinks she’s fat?
She has a problem, and it’s coming to grips with the fact that she’s not entitled to be worshipped by all people.
YAY – I feel you. But let me just say, a woman of your height usually looks amazing at a size 10. I am an inch shorter, a size 16, and am just glad I have come down from a size 22! ( which, btw, was terrifying and horrible). My goal is size 12. Anyway I don’t see how a woman of her height could be a size 0. I can’t even picture it. I think she is beautiful, needs to dress for herself and not the same as her sisters, as many have said. I am rooting for her to get away from the whole K Klan, and enjoy her life and love herself. She seems like a sweet person.
I definitely don’t thnk she’s trying so say she’s a size 0 NOW, but that she was after going on a workout/not eating binge back when she was a teenager. There’s no way her body was EVER meant to be a size 0, that would be emaciated on her build. Some women are not *supposed* to be below a certain size based on build alone.
This is why women get so fucked up on weight issues, you can’t go by *numbers* (weight in numbers, & clothing size numbers). 150lbs on Khloe would look a HELL of a lot different on me or one of her sisters. You just can’t compare yourself to other women when your frame is different.
I feel really bad for Khloe. My God, my mother would NEVER say something so hurtful to me. Even if she *did* have concerns about my weight, she’d never call me FAT, or be so carelessly insulting/hurtful.
WOW. Not a fan of the Kardasians but I think the fact that Khloe actually has a more “normal” weight is their redeeming quality.
@Phillylady – WOW! Congrats!! 🙂
@Fabgrrl – “I’m all for people living healthy lives and taking control of their weight, but you’d think an adult, “happily” married woman would have enough confidence to not sob about her body image.”
Body image is a very personal thing… Just being an adult, & happily married, doesn’t mean she doesn’t still suffer self confidence issues, or see her body in a distorted judgmental way. She’s obviously spent her whole life dealing with these issues. I have my moments where I obsess about body image. Khloe IS under a lot of pressure, especially when her mother has no problem being hurtful & insulting, putting the success of the ‘business’ on her not being ‘fat’.
Most of us would definitely collapse under all that. & I’m NOT a Kardashian fan, whatsoever. They drive me insane, but I just can’t hate Khloe the way I do the other 2.
her mug shot said she was 5’10, 145lbs. that’s not fat, that’s normal. God forbid someone’s normal in hollyweird.
“Lifelong struggle”. Um. Yeah. What a tough lot in life she’s had to cope with. She’s soooo brave.
I’m tired of being manipulated by the Kardashians. I am about 99% sure that the moment between Kris and Khloe where Kris tells her to stop eating cookies and work out was totally planned and manufactured for their show. Now, Khloe gets to be the spokesperson for “body issues” (and gets magazine covers and then when she loses weight she’ll get more endorsement deals). It’s all totally fake and manufactured.
I think someone is sniffing around for a diet deal. Maybe she heard Jenny Craig is hiring. And do all of these sisters have the same father? This bigger one doesn’t seem to fit with the other two.
I am so tired of all the magazine covers dedicated to the Kardashians’ weight issues. It is boring beyond belief. It is all so transparent that the real reason is just about keeping them in the spotlight so they can continue to make buckets full of money.
She is the prettiest of all of them. She actually looks like a real person compared to her sisters.She shouldn’t feel badly about not looking like a blow up doll. 5’10” and 145 lbs? That’s exactly what she should weigh.
When will people get over the idea that undernourished and anorexic is attractive?
People are sooooooooooooooooooo mean to fat people in this world.. sad, sad, sad.. they are probably the most looked down upon group all around.. STOP IT PEOPLE. People think they are lazy, disgusting and think it is ok to say things about them to everyone, craziness
Um, if she’s 5’10 she shouldn’t be under 140lbs, and that’s SKINNY for someone that tall. I’m 5’9″, and when I tell people I’m 145lbs and wear a size 10 they’re like “no way, you’re so thin!” Yeah, but I’m FIVE FOOT NINE, you dumbasses. 100 pounds ain’t happening, and if it did I’d be anorexic-looking.
People really need a reality check when it comes to weight relative to height. A 5′ person can probably be a size zero and weigh as much as a 12 year old, whereas I was a size 6-8 in HIGH SCHOOL, for christ’s sake.
@YAY and Phillylady – what you said.
She’s a fame whore but I feel for the girl. I’ve struggled with my weight for ages and it doesn’t go away no matter how old you are, if your married or not, or happy. I’m 28, I’ve been happily married almost 4 years and I still struggle with my weight and my goal to be happy with who I am and what I look like. It doesn’t help that my cousin, who is the same height as me, 5’8, is a waif and has always has been. We both have the same shape (hour glass) but she’s a 00 and I’m around a 12. My cousin who has passed away was the same thing. Same height as me and Aletheia, but Christina was a 4. I always wondered why I got the “big” genes since our none of our parents were big. I got my answer when I met my dad’s bio family but it was so hard growing up next to skinny minnies.
I have to admit that right now I’m bigger than I normally am (8/10) since I am recovering from hip surgery this past fall (and waiting for more surgery to come this coming fall) so I can’t exercise properly. My struggle this past year is that I was unable to walk for 4 months and having to control my weight strictly from food. Let me tell you that doing so over Christmas was HARD and I’ve gained about 10 pounds. I was so stressed about not being able to do anything but feel my ass grow that eating was a distraction. I get when Khloe said that she eats due to stress. Food is yummy and comforting.
That was uncalled for that Kris said she was fat or needed to loose weight. We should be embracing all sizes of healthy not just the 00, 0, and 2s. Healthy can be a size 10 or a size 12.
Awww I think she’s purty….
STFU KRIS sacraficing your childrens happiness for money you ignorant famewhore!
Klo you rock stay natural!
is she really a Kardashian???????? she look so super different, her face and she was naturally blonde when she was born.
I am 5’11” and just under 200lbs – that dang baby weight is giving me hard time (three years down the road). I want to be a healthy weight for my frame and I’m working at it. I’d be thrilled with 160lbs!
If she really is 5’10” and 145lbs that is a healthy weight! Why are we all dying to look like a cut-out of the perceived “perfect” feminine shape? We are all made differently, and for those us of who aspire to NOT fit into that Hollywood mold, more power to us.
I feel for her, to a point. I just think it’s ridiculous how she was spouting the whole “I love my curves!” when she really didn’t and how upset she was about her weight. I know that there are certain things you are required to say in front of the press and out in public if you are celebrity, but come on!
To hell with the whole Hollywood image-portrayal of women. It’s all faked, photoshopped and plastic. That’s not real, and that’s not attainable.
As sad and catty as it is for me to say – it’s not her weight that’s an issue, it’s her face.
I’m always shocked by what a great body she has because her face looks like it belongs on a 200lb woman. It doesn’t match.
I don’t think any amount of dieting will fix that. I am not even sure surgery will. I normally wouldn’t recommend that but she’s a Kardashian so why not join the party.
The Kardashian mother is not that abnormal. What I would like to know is if she sabotages Khloe’s diet and exercise plans like my mother does after telling me I’m too fat (unlike Khloe I am so please stop calling me when you KNOW I’m at the gym!)
If she would wear clothes that fit instead of trying to fit into something too small, she wouldn’t look heavy.
Khloe is beautiful the way she is. People need to leave her alone. I loved on the show that she went to Slimmons (Richard Simmons Studio). If I lived in LA and I WANTED to work out, I would definitely go to Richard Simmons because it looked fun! IF Khloe wants to work out once per week to feel better about herself, she should go there and have lots of fun!! I, personally, don’t feel she needs to work out or lose weight.
Aside from the usual snark (and the obviously possibility that the entire issue was brought up for ratings), watching this episode made me cringe.
In the end when Khloe cries over her weight, she walks into their house (which is still a disaster because the boys won’t pick up) and she is clearly overwhelmed in the moment. She starts to cry and finally admits to Lamar its because she feels fat.
I’ve been that girl so many times in my life. I too am happily married, fairly self confident, and sure of who I am. The one thing I’ve never been able to be ‘sure’ of was my weight and size.
I honestly thought it was heartbreaking. Think of how many times you have seen a critical comment about Khloe specifically (even above speculating that she isn’t her Dad’s kid!)
This one has the absolute MOST pressure on her in that family.
I have a lot of sisters and nieces, of all varying heights and weights, from size 00, 0, 2, 4, & 6; and I have seen the Kardashians (all of them unfortunately) many, many times up close over the years. I don’t believe Khloe was ever a size zero. She is very large boned and has a lot of muscle mass, and then fatty tissue over that (NOT saying she is fat, she is not). When she was a child, she probably wore the larger child sizes and then bumped into juniors or womens at an early age. So she is a big girl, which is not a bad thing at all. There are a lot of size 0 women in this city, and they are t i n y, small boned, very thin. I think the K’s are all lying like rugs about their various sizes. I also think the mother is a psychotic bitch.
She’s 5’10.. theres no way in hell she supposed to be a size 0 at that height. Maybe in Hollywood she’s considered “fat”… but she’s most likely the right weight for her height. Besides…her hubby likes her curves…to hell with the rest of them.
@Jackson – “And do all of these sisters have the same father? This bigger one doesn’t seem to fit with the other two.”
I’ve always found it interesting how much Khloe & one of the youngest girls, Kendall, look alike, even though they don’t share a father. Their features & build are so similar.
@Tia – “People are sooooooooooooooooooo mean to fat people in this world.. sad, sad, sad.. “
I think even the word ‘fat’ is derogatory. It’s a word with a negative connotation, so in my opinion, isn’t appropriate as a general description of ‘size’.
—
@Aries_Mira – “I just think it’s ridiculous how she was spouting the whole “I love my curves!” when she really didn’t and how upset she was about her weight.”
I think there’s a dfference between what ‘curves’ describes (bust, waist, & hip shapes of someone’s frame), & what weight describes, that can fluctuate & severely effect the way someone feels about their body. One can have an appreciation for being naturally voluptous, & still struggle with weight & self image.
@ YAY that’s rad, i’m 6-feet and a 9-10: ) ya we’ll never be delicate little flowers but we have some leggy legs and can rock the curves : )
You know, I love Khloe’s personality but bitch really needs to say goodbye to her negative family. Regardless of whether your mom was speaking to you or your mom-manager, it was awful to say.
I thought the same thing about it even being humanly possible for her to be a size zero. I think she gained fans by not trying to be her sisters and accepting her weight. Kris, the superficial idiot bimbo is too stupid to see that, it’s sad.
bros said, “how does a teenager have time to go to the gym 3 times a day?”
Um ’cause her step-dad is world famous Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner who probably trained her during that time.
Plus, some H.S. kids don’t have to sit in class all day. Some have classes at different times on different days like a college student.
lol @ Khloe calling her mother Satan in the last episode.
It’s not as though she is being forced at gunpoint to stand with her sisters on red carpets. When she opted into this pseudoc-celebrity lifestyle, she knew what she was getting into.
She should be more concerned with her FUGLY face, terrible personality and philandering husband.
NEVER in her life was she a size 0. She could be anorexic and her body frame would never be size 0. Her bones are just larger than that would ever allow. She shouldnt expect nor does anyone else expect her to be size 0 at her height. And it doesnt have anything to do with standing next to her smaller sisters. She is big period.
I agree with Susan, this just screams setup to me… I don’t believe anything anyone ever does on reality shows. Secretly, they’re laughing at us… all the way to the bank that is.
If people believe that their reality shows are not set up, I am sorry to say that people are stupid. All is set up for the rating and getting another magazine cover. Pig Kris knows how to pimp the media and she always comes as a winner because she is a bitch and bitches win unfortunately.
Her Mom is a BITCH!
The only reason I don’t know if it was ‘scripted’ (this particular argument) is because it comes across making Kris look especially bad. Insulting her daughter without hesitation.
It could be scripted, but my comments only apply if it *wasn’t*. I do think she gets tons of pressure because her sisters are tiny.
So rude of her mother and Bruce (he did it on one episode I watched) to criticize her weight. It NEVER helps. I think Kloe is one of the ugliest women in the biz, but she isn’t that big IMO She looks pretty normal and healthy to me.
I am not a fan of the Kardashian sisters, but I recently saw Khloe at the LA airport and she is not fat and she is (surprisingly) pretty.
“Khloe Kardashian: I’m tired of pretending that I’m happy with my weight”
Me: I’m tired of pretending like I don’t need an overdose on Xanax whenever I’m forced to hear one of your (or your family’s) inane soundbites. Fat, skinny, booby, flat. Take it or leave it. Just please hit the road and take the others with you.
@Dea: “…she is a bitch and bitches win unfortunately.”
Holla. Bitchy women always get what they want. They’re nasty and half the time the people around them want to kill themselves though. I still think that in the final rounds that matter, bitches fall flat on their faces. And they fall HARD.
Umm…I’m only just now looking at the very unfortunate photos of Khloe in that black and white monstrosity. Those buttons on her shirt are working hard. Girl could look a lot better if she tried wearing the right size…although this isn’t the right look to be trying at. all.
Khloe you are not fat, wtf, how old are you to think so stupid things?! you are women, so beautiful women, you have body, i think Lamar isn’t gay to like skinny bones 😀
at least she is being real, it makes me like her.
I like her much more since she married Omar – she is pretty
Met and took a picture with Lamar Odom last weekend during lunch in New Orleans. What a nice guy he was!
@Amanda G – “So rude of her mother and Bruce (he did it on one episode I watched) to criticize her weight. It NEVER helps. I think Kloe is one of the ugliest women in the biz, but she isn’t that big IMO She looks pretty normal and healthy to me.”
It’s a bit ironic that in one breath, you call her mother & Bruce ‘rude’ for critisizing her weight, but in the next, you say she’s ‘one of the ugliest women in the biz’. Simply following it with ‘…but she isn’t that big‘ doesn’t make the previous statement any less insulting…
(Honestly, I can’t think of anything more rude than calling someone ‘the ugliest‘ of something…) You shouldn’t really be critisizing Kris & Bruce when you turn around & do the same thing.
these women are the worst role models! She is the same size as the rest of the female population IF NOT SMALLER! She has a gorgeous figure. Yet she calls herself FAT and enables the whole damn world to call women her size FAT! It’s is just attention seeking. THese people have no souls.
I agree with Amanda #41 — the criticism from Khloe’s mother Kris more than likely was scripted. Who knows what is real on all of these reality shows?
That being said, I don’t think Khloe is fat. She seems to be a strong woman. She is pretty. What is she freaking out about?
Her husband makes millions, she should quit doing reality shows and endorsing weight loss products. Why not put her focus elsewhere? Anywhere! Help some homeless people, under privileged children, senior citizens, volunteer! Get out of the show biz racket if you’re so unhappy Khloe.
