Also the biggest issue here is daily mail made their headline “ khloes new sensational look…fans barely recognize her because of her new dark hair” like this is TOXIC. No it’s not her dark hair, it’s because she 100% plastic, all fillers, Botox, chin implants etc and have every facial surgery you can imagine. It’s so horrible to see this glamorized. Everyone can make their own choices but with such a large platform and her own weight loss show honeslty she should be sued for dishonesty and false advertising. No amount of skin/hair care products or exercise can do what she has done. It’s IRRESPONSIBLE of her with this large of a platform to be denying alllll of this work she has had done. I just think of her poor daughter growing up feeling so confused and sad why she looks nothing like her mom 🥺🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🥺
