Here are some photos of Khloe Kardashian at LAX a few days ago. I haven’t covered Khloe in a while – it’s a combination of factors, like Kim, Kendall and Kylie getting more attention, plus I think Khloe has been relatively low-key for several months. She’s currently dating Cleveland Cavalier Tristan Thompson and there are “rumors” that she’s already pregnant. I doubt it, but who knows? As we did discuss over the weekend, Khloe was namechecked in some of the horror stories coming out of the coverage of how awful Donald Trump behaved during The Apprentice. Allegedly, Trump referred to Khloe as “a fat piglet” and more. As Khloe was discussing her new line of denim (more on that in a moment) she talked about Trump:
“I didn’t think he was saying those things about me. But he says those comments about a lot of women—really derogatory things. Someone who is that simplistic to judge things off of surface is not someone I want running my country. It’s not cool or appropriate for any person, male or female, to judge someone else by their looks. I find it really cruel. It’s wild. I’m a tough cookie, so something that he said—that’s not gonna bother me. Ninety percent of the time, [criticism] doesn’t bother me. I’m not sure why. I think I’m just in my own world. But I believe that’s why [those incidents] happen to me, because I can take it. If that’s what it takes to get even just this little group of people to realize how shady and bad and negative that one person is, I can take it.”
Khloe also told Extra that if Trump did say that about her, she finds his comments “really immature and cruel.” Personally, I wish she had simply made this about Trump rather than her reaction to it, or how she’s a tough cookie or whatever. Just say “that’s not acceptable, that says a lot about him, doesn’t it?” and move on.
Anyway, Khloe has a new denim line called Good American (terrible name) and she’s riding the wave of making clothing for women above size-12. Or as Khloe called them, “real women.”
Denim for any size: “I think the selling point for me was having a really wide range of sizes and not trying to segregate people into shopping the plus-size. I really want to break down those barriers and have a denim line for real women. When I used to shop for premium denim at high-end boutiques, they would go up to a size eight or ten. I was I’d say a size 12 at the time and I would get so embarrassed going with my sisters. I want to be able to have denim because even if you’re a little bigger, you still want to be trendy and cute and show off your curves.”
The perfect 30-minute workout: “Because you can travel with a jump rope, jump roping. You think it sounds easy but my trainer told me try to do 800 jumps in like 5 minutes and I had to work my way up there. You think it’s so easy but it’s f–king hard. It’s ridiculous, but it’s the best workout and probably the shortest workout you can do and it’s full body. It’s everything, but it’s exhausting.”
Her boyfriend: “I’m having a great time in Ohio. I really like it. It’s mellow and nice. We should do an appearance at a Nordstrom out there.”
My only problem is with the “real woman” thing. I understand that this is a shorthand, especially for women who are larger than a size 6, and it’s a shorthand for women trying to sell products to women larger than a size 6. Real women are any and every size, and it would just be better to say “I wanted to have a denim line for EVERY woman, especially those women who are constantly shunned by high-end designers.” Because that’s the truth.

Well her new boyfriend is having a baby with his Ex. Khloe has the worst taste in men ever. I like the name Good American for some reason.
She’s been low key because she homewrecked her current boyfriends household. He has a baby due any minute with his longtime gf.
Was he with his ex when they started dating? If so, he’s the homewrecker, he’s the one in a relationship. You can’t take a man out of a relationship unless he agrees. No one held a gun to his head. They might have been on the outs already, but still having sex and she got pregnant. Not saying she did, but I knew one girl who got pregnant on purpose so her boyfriend would marry her.
They are both responsible. When I divorced, even though my ex put the blame on me, I never once put the blame totally on him. It was both of us that were responsible for the break down of the marriage.
Yes. Supposedly she met him at Kevin Hart’s wedding. The boyfriend was there with his then girlfriend (who’s having the baby).
So a Khloe isn’t responsible for helping wreck a relationship… But the other woman possibly got pregnant ( by herself) to trap “Khloe’s” guy. Okay.
I am sorry but we all know that if Kanye was to run for president Khloe and all her stupid family would back him up so I am not willing to listen what she is saying now about Trump.
We all know what Trump is and I am not paying more attention now only because he has said something about her.
Pretty bad when a Kardashian of all people can call you out for being simplistic and too focused on appearance.
I wish people would say “all women” instead of “real women”, but it’s good she at least is including more sizes (though why any of them have fashion lines, I don’t understand). I did notice both TJ Maxx and Kohls have commercials with average size models lately.
Hello Pot, meet the Kettle.
I agree with the sentiment regarding Trump, but in this case, the messenger should realize that she has a history of doing the same exact thing. Words DO hurt. Whoever is spouting them.
I am definitely going to check out Good American. I have a big booty and a small waist. I have such a hard time finding jeans that fit both areas.
I have no problem with her making it about herself. He said that about her, after all. If someone called me a fat piglet, you better believe I would take that personally and say how I felt. We can talk about Trump in abstract terms and how behavior like his affects us as a society. But it’s also personal for the women he has abused verbally over the decades.
I agree.
Tristan, who has an ex-girlfriend that’s currently pregnant with his kid and that he left for Khloe.
Are women under a size 12 cartoons or robots? They’re not real? Hm, interesting.
Ridiculous name for her jeans given that they along with all Kardashian Krap are made in Chinese sweatshops.
I’m pretty sure these are actually made in the US.
I won’t believe it until I see the label. The hypocrisy of the Ks is astounding.
I know “real women” is used mostly to insinuate curvier girls but it really seemed in this case to mean “women of all sizes, real women sizes 1-24”
Although I dislike everyone in the K family, I have to admire PMK”a hustle & business savvy. She has somehow managed to turn all of her six talentless children into multimillion dollar marketing machines.
I would never buy anything from them out of principle… And I am a size 0… But I just can’t get offended when someone uses the terminology “real women”. I know what they are trying to convey. And I don’t believe they are trying to put smaller women down. They obviously mean something more along the lines of average… But real sounds a lot nicer.
I couldn’t care less about khloe but I have no issue with her answer here. And I saw a R29 article today with women of all sizes trying out the jeans and all of them sounded pleasantly surprised! I can fault the KK for being famewhores but they always sold clothing (Dash stores) and they are business savvy.. if i lived in america i would maybe buy a pair. (They’re expensive though).
Says the ugliest sisters of all.
Superficial question: How did she end up being 2 times taller than her sisters? I saw a pic of her with Kourtney (the prettiest Kardashian in my book) and it’s a drastic difference.
Due to her mother having the morals of a cat in heat, her sperm donor may not be her dad Robert Kardashian. He’s still definitely her dad, however, so it really doesn’t matter. But genes do mix in mysterious ways and her mother isn’t short. So looking different from her sisters isn’t proof of anything.
Instead, I would ask why Kourtney and Kim are so incredibly short, given that their mother is around 6-7 inches taller than them and kids are usually a bit taller than their parents. When you see the whole family photographed together (including the Jenners), you realise than it’s the two older sisters who are the outliers.
Remind me again what it is she does for a living…
Attach her name to different products to sell to the masses, defend (or bash) her family on Twitter & in interviews, have horrible taste in men,etc…
So one of my pet peeves is when someone complains about someone else referring to plus size women as “real” women.
Well, they are real women aren’t they? If you listen to the words and message of “real women have curves,” which was originally a play and then a movie about Latina women working in a sweatshop environment, it’s not an exclusive statement.
It’s meant to be inclusive of all women. It’s not implying that skinny women aren’t real women, or that skinny women don’t have curves. It’s just stating a fact, real women have curves (unlike the fashion industry that prefers clothes to hang on a very thin body-usually not natural since they always ask even thin models to get their hips to a certain smaller measurement).
No one is saying skinny models are bad, or women who are as skinny as a model are bad or not “real.”
You have to acknowledge that the fashion industry and Hollywood REQUIRES participants to restrict their food and over exercise and get plastic surgery (nose and boobs at minimum). So if someone were to say, “hey, real women have big noses!” You would understand the sentiment without getting all butt hurt because you were born with a small nose, right?
Girl, your face is melting!
