AceShowbiz - Khloe Kardashian has landed in hot water after sharing on her app, Khloe with a K, tips on how to look "Thin AF" in pictures. The tips ranged from "hiding behind your BFFs," to having the photographer shoot from above.
"If they shoot from beneath, you might as well had like ten cheat days in a row," Khloe noted on the post, which she promoted on social media on Friday, March 9. Other tips included making your arms and shoulders "werk," and wearing black or vertical stripes in photos.

Khloe faced backlash from fans and fellow celebrities, who worried that the "tips" might perpetuate negative self-esteem issues among her followers. Television presenter Jameela Jamil shared a screenshot from Khloe's Instagram Stories, writing, "Oh dear Khloe."
"WTF Khloe? Girls keep sending me this screenshot and saying it's making them feel bad," so "The Good Place" star wrote. "Unfollow ANYONE who stirs low self esteem in you. Make Instagram a safe space for yourself rather than a trap of pointless poison."

She then sarcastically added in another tweet, "Don't concentrate on school work or achievement of your kids or your friendships or love... just make sure you look 'THIN AF' in your edited Instagram pictures girls. That's how to win life!"
Don’t concentrate on school or work or achievements or your kids or your friendships or love... just make *sure* you look “THIN AF” in your edited Instagram pictures girls. That’s how to win life! 🤦🏽♀️

Meanwhile, one fan called the post "so problematic." The said fan tweeted, "Influencers like you should be promoting people loving themselves instead of trying to change their appearance for photos. I expected better."
This is so problematic. Influencers like you should be promoting people loving themselves instead of trying to change their appearance for photos. I expected better.

Another dubbed the post a "terrible place of content," adding, "For someone who promotes body confidence (and you do so very well), this is disappointing..." One other simply wrote, "wrong message to send to your young followers."
Oh boy, terrible piece of content. For someone who promotes body confidence (and you do so very well), this is disappointing...

Some others, on the other hand, suggested things that Khloe should post instead of the "Thin AF" tips. "How about hacks to loving yourself as you are?" one user tweeted, while another said, "How about you encourage women to be happy and healthy instead of 'thin AF'???"
