When Khloe Kardashian began talking about how horrible it is that people use social media to legitimise themselves, some people’s eyebrows went up.
The 38-year-old social media influencer, who apparently makes well into six figures every promoted post and has 304 million Instagram followers, finds it unfortunate that people are so “caught up” in the online world.
Some of Khloe’s admirers didn’t appreciate her speculating since she is well-known for being a member of a family who got their millions on social media platforms like Instagram by frequently portraying their lives and bodies in a positive and beautiful manner.
But not only did Khloe’s statements draw criticism from the public; American comedian Chelsea Handler also called her out on it during their talk.
Speaking to the 48-year-old Chelsea Lately star, the third eldest Kardashian sister began: ‘I think our society nowadays is so caught up on getting validation from this social world that nobody really knows, so they post all these things.’
‘I wonder whose family that came from,’ cut in Chelsea, to which the influencer laughed and replied: ‘No comment there.’
Fans voiced their shock at the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star’s statements in the video’s comments area, which the TV host released on Instagram.
‘😂😂 I wonder who’s family that came from,’ quipped one follower, appreciating Chelsea’s handling of the situation, while another did the same below.
‘I love how your hair represents how blunt you are in real life,’ began another.
‘The K krew are 95% responsible for this unrealistic body type and validation dysmorphia that she claims to not understand or blame society for or whatever she was trying to say.
‘So thanks for not letting her get away with that statement. Keep calling it how you see it.’
Meanwhile, others caught on to the comment as one person asked in disbelief: ‘Did she really try and talk about social media obsession?’
‘The Kardashians started social media validation. Is Khloe being serious with her statement?’ asked another, while one person wrote: ‘Khloe talking about social validation 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.’
Chelsea continued to say how she wants to use social media for the better.
‘I want to use it as like a comedy tool, I’m not like wanting to show off how great my life is. I want to show off how stupid I am,’ she said.
‘And how great your tits are,’ added Khloe.
The Kardashian-Jenner family has amassed more than one billion followers, according to a study from last year.
That amounts to approximately one-eighth of all people on the planet.
