Khloe Kardashian raised a few eyebrows when she started chatting about how bad it is that people use social media to validate themselves.
The 38-year-old social media influencer, who has 304million Instagram followers and reportedly earns well into six figures per branded post, thinks it’s sad that people are so ‘caught up’ in the online world.
Famous for being part of a family who made their millions via platforms like Instagram – often posing their lives, and bodies, in a favourable and glamorous light – some fans didn’t take kindly to Khloe’s postulating.
But it wasn’t just fans who ripped into Khloe for her seemingly hypocritical words, but American comedian Chelsea Handler called her up on it too in their conversation.
Speaking to the 48-year-old Chelsea Lately star, the third eldest Kardashian sister began: ‘I think our society nowadays is so caught up on getting validation from this social world that nobody really knows, so they post all these things.’
‘I wonder whose family that came from,’ cut in Chelsea, to which the influencer laughed and replied: ‘No comment there.’

‘So thanks for not letting her get away with that statement. Keep calling it how you see it.’
Meanwhile, others caught on to the comment as one person asked in disbelief: ‘Did she really try and talk about social media obsession?’
‘The Kardashians started social media validation. Is Khloe being serious with her statement?’ asked another, while one person wrote: ‘Khloe talking about social validation 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.’
Chelsea continued to say how she wants to use social media for the better.
‘I want to use it as like a comedy tool, I’m not like wanting to show off how great my life is. I want to show off how stupid I am,’ she said.
‘And how great your тιтs are,’ added Khloe.
This comes after it was reported last year that the Kardashian-Jenner family have more than one billion followers between them.
