Khloe Kardashian: Stylists refused to work with me when my body was "too big," and that always hurt

Khloe Kardashian admits she was treated much differently in the fashion world before undergoing her physical transformation.


The 31-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star just posed for a beautiful spread in Harper's Bazaar, rocking minimal makeup, nude nails and no shoes. The Strong Looks Better Naked author looks so thin that anyone who had criticized her weight in the past would probably be embarrassed now. 

"I definitely think the fashion industry, and people in general, look at me more now that I've lost weight," Kardashian told the publication, in between takes.

"Even on shoots, I would never have options for clothing. There would always be this attention on [Kourtney Kardashian] and [Kim Kardashian], but I was too much work for [stylists] or they had nothing in my size. I wasn't even that crazy big!"

In fact, some stylists totally refused to work with Kardashian entirely.


"People actually said, 'I just can't work with you' -- because I was too big. That always hurt my feelings, of course," the reality TV star confessed.

When those same stylists asked to work with Kardashian more recently, she pretty much gave them the middle finger.

"I'm just like, 'F-ck you. I'm not going to reward your bad behavior!...' I like to say I don't care what people say about me, but that's not true. Not wanting to go to certain places because I wonder what will be written about me the next day -- I hate that I carry that with me."

Kardashian therefore only works with Monica Rose, her family's stylist since Season 1 of KUWTK premiered.

Kardashian struggled with her weight and body image for most of her life, but once her marriage to Lamar Odom turned sour, she developed a passion for working out at the gym and eating healthy.


"My home [with Odom] was dark and toxic," she admitted. "At the time, my family didn't know what I was going through. It was the biggest secret I've kept. I just needed a place to go."

When Kardashian began noticing the results of her hard work, she became even more invested in fitness and nutrition.

"I'm a beast at the gym. I'm super competitive and I'm a sweater. I'm like, 'Don't f-ck with me and don't mess up my routine,'" Kardashian told Harper's Bazaar with a laugh, adding that her sisters also provide her some motivation.

"I love that we can work out together. Because Kim sort of prances and is super cute and gorge, while Kourtney and I are dripping wet."
