Khloé Kardashian stuns in Bustle‘s December issue, where the 40-year-old reality star-turned-entrepreneur shares a mix of exciting updates and candid confessions. Alongside glamorous photos, she teases her newly launched XO Khloé fragrance and an upcoming podcast set to debut early next year. The Good American cofounder also gets real about her decade-long weight loss journey, addressing the persistent accusations of using Ozempic or undergoing weight loss surgery. Below, discover her reasons for the transformation, how her confidence has evolved and her powerful message for those questioning her journey.
“My weight loss journey started because I was getting a divorce,” Kardashian began. “I remember I was going to therapy and the next thing I knew, something private I told my therapist was on a tabloid. And I knew that my therapist disclosed this information to a tabloid because there’s no way this could have gotten out there. 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.
As a byproduct, my body started changing,” she continued. “I loved the way I felt. I loved testing myself and challenging myself. And I’ve been doing it for 10-plus years now and I love it. Over the past three years, people are like, ‘You must have gotten surgery because you just lost weight.’ I’m like, ‘It’s been a 10-year journey! What are you talking about?’ 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? I think it’s ridiculous, the judgment on that. I’m just mad [Ozempic] wasn’t around 10 years ago.”
