In her latest blog post, reality TV personality Khloe Kardashian gave fans insider tips on how to look “Thin AF” in photos on social media.
But based on the reaction to the post on social media, not everyone was happy with Kardashian’s post. Her tweet posting the story was filled with comments chastising her for what some readers felt was enforcing only one kind of body type — an odd trait for someone who hosts E!’s Revenge Body, a body positive series.

Why don’t you try and use your platform to encourage people to be themselves? I don’t agree with “5 hacks to look thin AF in pics” everyone is beautiful in their own way. people don’t need to look thin just for Instagram. I really like you as a person Khloé but don’t like this.

That’s fair but perpetuating the idea that you have to look slim to be beautiful doesn’t actually help anyone for more than the hour or so after they post the pic

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.

You’re all about “body positivity” and yet you’re giving hacks to people on how to look thinner? 😒

I don’t want to look ‘thin AF’ though. I’d rather look healthy AF.

Oh boy, terrible piece of content. For someone who promotes body confidence (and you do so very well), this is disappointing…
