Khloé Kardashian talks Photoshop, Instagram and looking like a 'cartoon'
The reality star revealed on the latest episode of her podcast, "Khloé in Wonderland," that, for a while, she "wouldn't dare post a photo without heavily Photoshopping."
That news may come as little surprise to fans who have visited Kardashian's air-brushed Instagram page, which features photos of her bikini clad, alongside her famous sisters, or decked out in glam for a certain billionaire's Italian wedding.
But her presence on social media now is much more raw than it used to be, she admitted in the episode, which aired July 17.
Khloé Kardashian had 'trust' issues after therapist leaked 'private' details to tabloids
Responding to the claim she that "Photoshops every picture," Kardashian said: "I don't. But there was a time that I definitely did. There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to. I also think it was the era too, I felt like a lot of people were Photoshopping or heavily Photoshopping more than they do now."
The youngest of the Kardashian sisters (Jenners not included), Khloé has been open about how public scrutiny of her appearance has affected her self-confidence over the years.
"I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter," she said on the podcast, her latest venture outside of reality TV. "And there's definitely days that I'm like, ugh, I need a filter. Don't feel good about myself."
She went on to say that she's never felt the most photogenic, but will take "500 photos" to get one she likes.
"I will say there was a time that I heavily Photoshopped," she continued, but said that when she sees those photos now, she feels like she looks like a "cartoon character."
"It's humiliating that I thought that was even a version of myself," she added. "I feel bad that I thought I needed to look like that. But I was around people who were all doing that. And if they took my photo, they would make me look that way before giving it to me. And then I would think that's how I looked. And if I got paparazzied, I'd be like, 'I don't look like that. I look like this photo.' And I really had to reprogram my mind to be like, OK, we have to lay off the filters. This isn't real. That's not how I look. And I don't want to look like that. It was a strange time."
Kardashian faces the unique experience of having spent much of her life on camera, starring alongside her siblings on "Keeping up with the Kardashians," as scads of loyal fans watched her personal life unfold. The endless media attention, particularly surrounding her body, has smudged the lens with which she views herself, she (and her sisters) have admitted in the past.
Now, though, they appear intent on being honest about the alterations they've done. Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the clan, recently shared the exact dimensions of her breast augmentation on TikTok, and Kardashian, following suit, listed all the cosmetic procedures she'd had done.
"I definitely have more controlled photos, like good lighting, and I might take a bunch to get the ones I like," she said, turning back to her current approach to social media, "But I don't have to Photoshop every photo."

Beyoncé fans are paying close attention to her hair color as tour ends: Here's why
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is about to wrap up her "Cowboy Carter" tour in Las Vegas, and fans are already searching for clues about what's next for the superstar. Their current focus is the hair color of some of Beyoncé's dancers. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her first concert at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on July 25. The concert marked her first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform again July 26. As she took the stage, Beyoncé donned a floor-length American flag coat with a matching bodysuit and white cowboy hat. However, it was her blond hair color that immediately caught the attention of some fans. Prior to Friday's show, rumors began to swirl when fans noticed some of her dancers appearing to change their hair color to jet black. One account wrote on X, "Beyoncé's dancers are reportedly dyeing their hair black, sparking rumors that it's a visual clue for the third installment of her trilogy: act iii." As fans know, Beyoncé released her eighth studio album "Cowboy Carter" March 29. The country album has already made history on multiple fronts and put a spotlight on Black country artists. In July 2022 Beyoncé released her seventh studio album "Renaissance." The project earned her four Grammys in 2023 including best dance/electronic music album, making her the most decorated artist in the awards' history. She later announced the album was the first part of a three-act project, making "Cowboy Carter" Act 2. After releasing albums in the country and dance categories, there has been growing speculation that the last project in the trilogy could be a rock album. Beyoncé only fueled this idea after she posed as funk-rock diva Betty Davis for Halloween — and yes, she was wearing jet black hair. However, during the July 25 performance, not only was Beyoncé's hair not black, but many of her dancers' hair colors also varied from black to red and more. One fan wrote, "And the black hair theories are dismissed." However, others were reluctant to abandon the idea entirely, noting that there's still one more show to go. Some fans even went so far as to point out that last show date falls on Davis' birthday. There are always fan theories floating around, and fans can expect even more as Beyoncé closes out her tour and the Act 2 era leaving them to eagerly await Act 3. As always, only time will tell.
