“You know, for a long time I was told, ‘Khloe, you’ve got to lose weight because you’re really hurting the brand’ or this or that,” she admits.
“I understood that was coming from my management side of my family, but it does hurt and there’s a way to say things,” she shares. “I totally get how you feel.”
