In a candid revelation on her podcast, "Khloé in Wonderland," reality television star Khloé Kardashian recently broke her silence on her past struggles with photoshop and the pressures of maintaining a "perfect" online image.
The 41-year-old Good American co-founder shared that while there was a time she "wouldn't dare post a photo without heavily Photoshopping," she has now shifted away from this practice, embracing a more authentic approach to her social media presence.
Kardashian confessed that a period existed when she felt "consumed in this filter lifestyle" and admitted to looking like a "cartoon character" in some of her older, heavily edited photos.
"It's humiliating that I thought that was even a version of myself," she stated, reflecting on a time when external pressures and the prevailing "era" of extreme digital alteration influenced her self-perception.
She detailed how being surrounded by people who encouraged or even performed such edits contributed to her belief that it was how she should look.
This led to a distorted self-image, making it difficult for her to recognize herself in unedited paparazzi shots.
The reality star emphasized the journey of "reprogramming" her mind to understand that filters and heavy editing create an unrealistic portrayal.
While acknowledging that there are still days she desires a filter, she now prioritizes good lighting and taking numerous photos to achieve a shot she likes.
"That's okay. I'm allowed to do that," she affirmed, highlighting a healthy distinction between curating an image through natural means and altering it digitally to an extreme.
This shift comes after years of public scrutiny and accusations of photoshopping her pictures, prompting her to rethink the "perfect image" game.
Khloé has also become more transparent about her cosmetic procedures, indicating a broader move towards honesty regarding her appearance.
Her openness sheds light on the immense pressure public figures face to conform to impossible beauty standards, a pressure that often trickles down to everyday individuals.
By sharing her experience, Kardashian contributes to a growing conversation about body image, self-acceptance, and the often-unrealistic portrayals prevalent on social media.
