Khloe’s Post Hints To Controversy On Her Instagram Story
It seems that Khloe Kardashian has shared a few posts that revolve around the recent drama that took place on Thursday. Though the posts didn’t exactly resolve the issue, they did offer a piece of advice to avoid conflicts. Fans speculate that these posts contain Khloe Kardashian’s response to everyone’s complaints. The first post read:
“You can’t control how others interpret your actions or words. Everyone perceives things based on their current situations and mindset. Just keep acting with honesty, love and a good heart”
Khloe Kardashian shared two similar messages, but it is unclear if they were related to the controversy. Another post said:
“You can’t afford anymore situations in your life that bring out the worst in you. It’s exhausting and requires too much for you to recover. You need calmness and gentleness in your life. Don’t entertain negativity and definitely don’t bring it. Choose inner peace over everything.”
“Remember whenever you’re in a position to help someone, be glad and always do it because that’s the Universe answering someone else’s prayers through you.”
In 2021, Kim Kardashian opened up about the past allegations of Blackfishing concerning her hairstyles, specifically braids and cornrows. In an extensive interview with playwright Jeremy O. Harris for i-D Magazine, Kim Kardashian stated that she would never appropriate any culture in her style and clarified that her fashion sense is sometimes influenced by her oldest daughter, North, who is biracial.
Fact that the @khloekardashian and @KimKardashian feel it’s okay to run with this black face makeup it’s not cool nor give you the rights to low-key do blackface disguised as a tan.They are so disrespectful it’s distasteful at this point black but cut the foolery.#TheShadeRoom pic.twitter.com/BUEvtLJSDm
