Khloé Kardashian is addressing the ongoing public scrutiny surrounding her dramatic weight loss — and the persistent speculation about the possible use of Ozempic.
Speaking on the latest episode of her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast, the 40-year-old reality star and entrepreneur opened up in a candid conversation with fitness influencer Whitney Simmons. Reflecting on her early years in the spotlight, Kardashian recalled the harsh criticism she endured about her appearance — and how the backlash didn’t stop, even after her physical transformation.
“The bigger I was, I was way more confident,” she admitted. “Because, like, what are you going to say about me? I already knew all the things people would throw at me.”
As her fitness journey progressed, Kardashian said she began feeling pressure to maintain her new figure — not just for herself, but because of public expectations.
“I felt like, ‘Well, I can’t get fat again because everyone’s waiting for it.’ It became less about health and more about managing perception.”
Despite the praise for her new look, Kardashian said the increased attention came with discomfort.
“Once I got older, I realized — this is gross,” she said. “I hated that I was getting more attention because I looked a certain way.”
Although she has undergone a visible transformation, Kardashian insisted that at her core, she remains the same person — even if public perception says otherwise.
“When I lost weight, suddenly I was ‘a traitor to the bigger community.’ People said I wasn’t funny anymore or wasn’t myself,” she explained. “I’m still me. I just happen to look different — or a lot different, depending on who you ask.”
Her comments follow a series of swimsuit photos she posted in late April, showcasing her toned physique to her 303 million Instagram followers. The photos sparked a wave of mixed reactions online.
While many fans praised her dedication and discipline, others lamented the loss of her signature curves. Some commenters wrote:
- “Make Khloé thick again.”
- “I loved thick Khloé. She was my fave.”
- “Too skinny. Eat something.”
- “Please bring back the sexy curves!”
Still, others admired her transformation, noting her commitment to early morning workouts — often beginning as early as 6 a.m. Kardashian credits her consistent fitness routine for the results.
Ultimately, she says she’s learned a tough but valuable lesson about public life:
“I’ve learned that no matter what I do, I’ll never please everyone,” she said. “I was criticized when I was bigger, and I’m criticized now that I’m thinner. It just comes from different sides.”
