Reality star Khloe Kardashian has been called out once again for the way in which she handled the aftermath of her leaked photo.
Ex The Bachelorette contestant Rachel Lindsay has now criticised the Kardashian sister for “playing victim” during the leak fiasco.
Speaking to co-host Van Lathan on her Higher Learning podcast, Rachel, 36, said: “What I find interesting is she’s making herself a victim almost in a world and culture that the Kardashians are responsible for.
“If not the creators of it, they are definitely responsible for perpetuating this school of thought, this practice.”
Rachel believes that Khloe should reap what she’s sowed as the star has constantly portrayed an unrealistic beauty standard to women online.
Rachel said: “You started this and now these influencers have picked this up and now you have social media influencers who have populated social media feeds to get this image.”
Rachel vented: “So fake, and so plastic, they might as well be animated figures.”
“This ‘Kardashian effect’ — but the reality is, people are emulating something and chasing a goal they can’t even achieve themselves. They’re edited, they’re photoshopped, they don’t necessarily look that way.
“But it might not be common sense for their audience who is so impressionable, for these fans that laud and praise them. They may not get it to the level we do.”

Rachel explained that she thought Khloe looked amazing in the unedited leaked image and claims it’s the “most normal” she’s seen her.
The former The Bachelorette stated that instead of Khloe playing the victim, she should have “taken this moment to be an example and embrace her body, and love her body for what it is”.
After causing a social media frenzy concerning her unedited picture, reality star Khloe finally broke her silence on Wednesday to address the photoshopped claims.
Taking to Instagram, the mother of one wrote: “Hey guys, this is me and my body unretouched and unfiltered.

“The photo that was posted this week was beautiful. But as someone who has struggled with body image her whole life, 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 too hard to get it to this point – and then shares it to the world – you should have every right to ask for it not to be shared – no matter 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.”
