Khloe Kardashian fans ‘shocked’ by unedited photo as star appears unrecognizable before plastic surgery & filtered pics
KHLOE Kardashian looked unrecognizable in a resurfaced photo from 2011 of her long, brown hair flying all over the place.
The shot was taken before her plastic surgery and shared before all of the reality star’s “filtered” photos on social media.
The resurfaced photo was taken while Khloe was house hunting in Dallas after just moving there with her then-husband Lamar Odom.
He had joined the Dallas Mavericks, and she was busy trying to find them a new home to live in together.
During her outing, she looked unrecognizable in an oversized gray top, black leggings, and tall black boots, all before her plastic surgery, including a nose job, and rumored lip fillers.
Without a hat, the wind whipped at her hair, and photos captured her long, brown strands flying all over the place.
The snaps have continued to make its rounds throughout social media in the years since.
A photoshopped version of the picture was turned into a meme and recently reshared, which read: “Khloe Kardashian is fighting so hard to have her unedited bikini pic removed from the internet, meanwhile this photo’s just out floating around.”

Redditers had a field day with the joke post, with one writing: “This photo is epic actually.”
Another said: “BRB running off to text this to everyone i know.”
A third wrote: “Yes because she used to don’t care. They made this to her, all the media all the talk all the jokes and even this..”
The meme referenced a leaked photo of Khloe from last year that showed the reality star in an unedited bikini pic.
Fans were happy to see the snap after always accusing the star of editing her other photos.
Khloe was not happy about the leak, though, and her team was said to be “desperate to scrub” it from the internet.
According to Page Six, copies of the photo were taken down under “legal threats” from the Kardashian’s team, who called the snap “beautiful” but explained they wanted it gone because it was not authorized.
Tracy Romulus, chief marketing officer for KKW Brands, said in a statement: “The color edited photo was taken of Khloé during a private family gathering and posted to social media without permission by mistake by an assistant.
“Khloé looks beautiful but it is within the right of the copyright owner to not want an image not intended to be published taken down.”
The KUWTK alum later shared a different photo of herself in the same bikini on her Instagram.
Fans were quick to call out Khloe for the photo as one person on Twitter wrote: “khloe kardashian spending her easter trying to erase unedited pics of herself from the internet – she’s so pathetic.”
The star later broke her silence by saying she has suffered “constant ridicule and judgement” about her appearance all her life.
Khloe suggested the unfiltered picture going viral had been “too much to bear.”
The mother of one penned: “When someone takes a photo of you that isn’t flattering in bad lighting or doesn’t capture your body the way it is after working so hard to get it to this point.”
“And then shares it to the world – you should have every right to ask for it to not be shared – regardless of who you are.
“In truth, the pressure, constant ridicule and judgement my entire life to be perfect and to meet other’s standards of how I should look has been too much to bear.”
