This was the most spectacularly hilarious example of the Streisand Effect in action. Congrats, Khloe, you played yourself.

This was it, this was the time she could have just been like, You know what? Yep that’s me, here you go. She has a clothing brand that she routinely shows women of all sizes and shapes on the website....talks about how normal it is to not be perfect. The feedback she was getting on that photo was great. And she looked…

Yep, that’s the photo.

I have no issues with filters and nice lighting. What Kardjenners are doing is DISTORTING their bodies into blow up doll and alien territories.

I have no idea!!! That's one of the things so confusing about it! 95% of the comments that I saw about the unretouched photo were saying she looked GREAT because she did!! She looked fit, toned and very lean. It's all FUCKING insane.

I’m waiting for someone to point out where in the original photo she looks like she isn’t fit? Her stomach is flat, her ribs are slightly showing, and she has a clearly defined waist. What the fuck is even wrong with that photo? I find it bizarre. It looks just like what she’s showing on instagram, except from a front…

Unlike many commenters here, I typically have patience with the Kardashian family. They just don’t get under my skin much. But this shit is beyond the pale to me for some reason. I guess I hit my cap. The idea of a 37 yo woman hopping on Instagram live to “prove” her body actually looks a certain way is INSANE to me.…

She looks so great and natural that I assumed it was taken 10 years ago (is what I thought when I also sought out the picture because of the hubbub surrounding it).

I have to say, she doesn’t look like she’s had a lot of work done to her face if this is really how she looks. She looks like a pretty young woman with a regular body.

wait... That’s Khloe?? She looks great but if she’d said it wasn’t her, I would believe it because this is unrecognizable.

Hey Donald, can I have a proactive, blanket pardon for some federal crimes I might be charged with?

On the one hand, it’s fair to not want a photo you don’t like shared. Maybe a kind message would have gone further than legal action?

On the other hand, man, it’s fucking sad that I see this photo and think “she looks great!” but she’s so afraid of people seeing her unedited that she thought she had to take legal…

Yeah, 100% chance someone else wrote that.

She spent all that money on surgeries and altering her body only to fucking hate herself. Its actually kinda sad. This could have been done quietly as in, ignored or this could have been a teaching moment, a self reflection, a journey to acceptance....but she chose violence and now people are even MORE fired up to…

And finally, Dump weighs in on this, in a surprisingly concise and cogent way that screams that someone wrote this for him...

“The Trump White House is nothing if not a beacon of bad precedent setting”.

“the Trump White House passed on Gaetz’s request, worried that it would “set a bad precedent.””

It’s interesting to me that Barba is the only cast member whose sexuality or love life is never once eluded to, even in passing, despite being pretty clearly queer coded. 

I headcanon Barba as being unapologetically bi.
