Khloé Kardashian has long been open about her struggles with her weight, frequently noting her various workout and diet routines. However, she recently confessed that she believes her transformation would’ve been easier had a certain medicine been around early in her journey.
In an interview with Bustle published on Tuesday, December 3, Kardashian, 40, revealed that people often accuse her of having work done.
“Over the past three years, people are like, ‘You must have gotten surgery because you just lost weight,’” she said. “I’m like, ‘It’s been a 10-year journey! What are you talking about?’”
Though the Good American founder admittedly finds these claims frustrating, she has no judgement about those who chose to get weight loss surgery.
“But even if people get surgery or [get on] the Ozempic craze, I’m like, ‘Who cares!’ As long as people feel good about themselves, who am I to judge?,” Kardashian said, before admitting, “I’m just mad [Ozempic] wasn’t around 10 years ago.”
Kardashian shared that she began her weight loss journey after splitting from her ex-husband Lamar Odom. Kardashian and Odom married in 2009, and split four years later when Kardashian filed for divorce. She withdrew her filing in 2015 after Odom suffered a near-fatal overdose, in order to care for him. Kardashian filed for divorce once again in May 2016 and the divorce was finalized that December.
The reality TV star did say that she went to therapy, however, she believes that her therapist shared some information Kardashian divulged with them to a tabloid.
“There’s no way this could have gotten out there,” she said. “So I stopped going to therapy and started going to the gym. I needed a release, but I did not trust anybody else anymore. And the place that I felt the safest was the gym.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Kardashian shared that she’s no stranger to criticism from haters. But she’s learned to pay them no mind, as she can’t please everyone.
“When I was bigger, and then when I lost weight, people were like, ‘How dare you, you are so insecure, you’re following society,’” she said. “And I’m like, ‘OK, you guys are so confusing!’ I realized you’ll never make everyone happy. I have to do what’s best for me.”
