- Khloe Kardashian accused of trying to change her ‘skin tone’ on unrecognizable billboards (themirror.com)
Khloe Kardashian’s latest billboard campaign across Los Angeles has sparked quite the reaction, with many fans saying the reality star looks almost unrecognizable. Known for her naturally tanned complexion thanks to her Middle Eastern roots, Khloe appeared markedly different in the new ads, prompting a wave of surprise and criticism online.
In the striking billboard image, Khloe was glamorously styled, wearing a red tank top paired with chunky gold jewelry and her long caramel hair flowing freely. She posed confidently while promoting a healthy snack, showcasing a polished and radiant look.
However, the photos quickly became a topic of debate on social media. Some viewers accused the images of “blackfishing,” a term used when someone darkens their skin to appear Black or mixed race. Comments ranged from confusion-“Who is this?!”-to strong criticism questioning the family’s intentions and accusing them of cultural insensitivity.
Khloe has not publicly addressed the controversy. Meanwhile, she remains busy with her professional and personal commitments.
In April, she is set to become the first-ever Global Brand Ambassador for It’s a 10 Haircare, debuting their rebrand at Ulta Beauty World. Additionally, she continues to co-lead Good American, the fashion brand she co-founded in 2016, which has grown into a highly successful business valued at over $3 billion.
Outside of her career, Khloe focuses on raising her two children with co-parent Tristan Thompson. She has previously shared that she is not currently pursuing a romantic relationship and has been single and celibate for four years following their separation.
