Khloe Kardashian has long been the subject of plastic surgery accusations following her changing face shape, and it looks as if the 38-year-old has had enough of the latest rumors.
The youngest Kardashian sister recently graced the cover of Sorbet magazine, where she sported her trademark lengthy locks in a soft, tousled look complete with clip-on bangs that just brushed her lashes. At the time Khloe first posted images of herself wearing a new hairstyle, social media users made a point of mentioning how different her face looked.
Now, it seems she has a good reason for why her face appeared to change so much by just adding bangs in a new Instagram upload from the shoot.
"Fun fact: I wore clip on bangs for this shoot. It was fun to give a different look and not be committed. I am surprised with how much I liked the bangs even though they changed the shape of my face. Would you ever get bangs?" she captioned her Instagram upload.
Many famous faces took to the comments section to voice their praise for Khloe and compliment her new look for the cover shoot, however, many users also took the chance to leave negative points of view.
"So many changes… for someone with a tv show that promotes loving yourself… it should be also practiced… just my point of view," one person wrote, in reference to Khloe's reality show Revenge Body, where she helped real women reach their weight loss goals and gain more confidence.
"The shape of your face actually stays the same when you wear bangs . Fun fact [...] lmao," someone else wrote.
Khloe reportedly clapped back, responding in a comment (per UsWeekly): "I openly talk about my nose job and anyone who 'looks up' to me must know I’ve lost over 60 pounds over the years.
"So recently the only change is the bangs. I didn’t know I had to do a running list. Either way, attacking someone is sad in my opinion. Unprovoked is the saddest part.
"If you are offended or don’t like what you see, you simply don’t have to say anything. I hope you have a great first week of the new year. Thanks for making mine so jolly."
The celebrity hairstylist who worked on Khloe's hair for the shoot, Andrew Fitzsimmons, also told Page Six in 2022 that he likes styling the Kardashian sisters' hair simply because they're all open to trying new things. "I think the unique thing working with the girls is that they all are open to exploring expressive and fun looks, which really allows for creativity as an artist," he said. Evidently, this includes clipping on some fake bangs for a fresh 'do.
As for Khloe's new look, it appears she's starting 2023 with a clean slate, following a tumultuous 2022 that saw the father of her two children, Tristan Thompson, allegedly cheat on her for a third time. In fact, he even fathered a child with another woman, something that was discussed at length in the family's new reality series on Hulu, The Kardashians.
