Khloe Kardashian: ‘I have this great ability to block everything out’

Khloe Kardashian’s remake into this thin, blonde, plastic woman has been happening for years, but every time I see a new variant, it takes me a second to understand who I’m looking at. Add in Photoshop and magazine editing and no part of Khloe looks original. Khloe covers the latest issue of Cosmo UK, and she’s mostly promoting Good American, her successful (?) denim company. That’s why the photoshoot is so denim-intensive. You can read the full interview here. Some highlights:

Some days, she doesn’t want to live life in the spotlight: ‘I have my days. There are definitely times that I’m like,“I don’t give an ass about anything.” I have this great ability to block everything out. Then I have times where I struggle and I can’t drown out the noise, and I get mad at myself for not being able to. It’s a vicious cycle. You have to take everyday as it comes. There are definitely times when we’re like,“Just get these cameras out of our faces!”’

She’s more guarded now: ‘I used to share anything and everything. I don’t know if it’s age or if I started being more aware and exposed, but you become more guarded – in a healthy way. We definitely like to, now, keep some things for us. It’s growing up. You’re allowed to change what you’re comfortable with. It’s nice to keep a lot of the milestones more private and maybe release a couple of photos. People are still in our lives and know what we’re doing, but it doesn’t have to be the entire birthday party.’

She still loses her temper online though: ‘It depends what mood I’m in – if I’m having a hard week, I snap and that’s when I go on Twitter and start commenting. Sometimes, I spiral. We’re all used to there being so much crap out there, but sometimes it can be the smallest thing and I just want to set the record straight – especially when it’s about my family, I get more protective.’

Motherhood changed her: ‘I definitely have more empathy. And the motivation that having a child gives you… you want them to be proud of you so badly. That’s not just work, but my manners and how I treat people. You just carry yourself in a different way, or I try to. Three is the best age. She was telling me the craziest story this morning and I was like,“Where did you get all these words from?”’

Honestly, one of the most relatable things about Khloe at this point is that she loses her temper on social media, that she’ll start sniping and clapping back at people. That makes her normal – it takes actual effort to ignore trolls and “haters” and sometimes people do want to be messy online. And why not? As for the rest of it… Khloe is, to me, someone who is really trying to present a certain persona of a woman who is strong enough to walk away from drama, from unfaithful men, from people working her last nerve. But that’s not actually who she is. Khloe is a dang mess, that’s who she is authentically.

    I wish she would stop being so fake. She is clearly so insecure and is in constant need of adulation and attention. I just think she should go away so as not to hear her nonsensical rambling.

  2. Woke says:

    She used to be the person she describe tho I remember how much she was on Kourtney back about Scott it was almost like she thought Kourt was weak for staying with him. Then all the drama with Lamar happened then the Tristan mess where is that Khloe?

  3. Osty says:

    If she stopped being fake and be true to herself, maybe she will be happy . She was ” strong ” back then and she had all these plastic surgery and now she is a mess

  4. Merricat says:

    I find her so depressing.

  5. María says:

    Look, it’s not easy to leave someone you love when they’re unfaithful, even if it happens multiple times. In that regard, I feel sorry for her. I hope she can find the strength to leave him, because staying with him will only cause her more hurt.

    Disclaimer: I feel compassion but I do not condone the weird texts/behavior towards other women Tristan’s been with.

  6. JustMe says:

    Odds on her secretly being back with Tristan? Ya exactly.
    She is a bully , she has always been a bully (we see you Jordyn Woods living your best life). What poor True is going to grow up with in terms of Khloe constantly changing her appearance to reach some unobtainable goal in her mind is so sad.

  7. Cortney says:

    Is she trying to manifest this person by speaking it into existence?!

  8. Noki says:

    The Kardashians lie about things that can completely be proven untrue at the click of a button. She was horrible to Scott for years and then when Lamar did even worse to her she tried to hide it. She needs therapy.

  9. original_kellybean says:

    By “block everything out” is she referring to her boyfriend cheating constantly?

    • JWOOLMAN says:

      My first thought was that she blocks out common sense.

      She was originally popular because she showed some use of her brain cells, but she has been handed so many opportunities without effort and has botched them simply by refusing to learn how to do the jobs. She thinks that all she has to do is “be herself” and that’s enough. No desire to improve or learn new skills or even to recognize that she isn’t doing a good job but is just coasting on the name. It’s sad, she had potential.

      I always thought she would be a good mother, though, so it’s a bit disturbing that she has joined in with the Kardashian habit of publicly exploiting her daughter. The kid seems happy, so most of the time Khloe must be doing all right with her. Khloe was always good with her nephews and nieces, at least before she got so focused on changing her body every two seconds.

      I just hate to think of those kids getting sucked into the void of the Kardashian/Jenner idea of life. They will have the money to learn and do anything, but will probably just end up being self-absorbed “fashion models” due to connections rather than really working at it, and dabblers in pretend jobs actually done by hirelings. We shall see.

    Blocking it out? Is that why she “claps back” at randoms on social media? Mmmkay.

    • Nat says:

      What is she able to block? The truth?

      If so – only a comfy couch and many hours with a therapist might help her.

      Also what happened to her Dracula hands?

  11. Wendy says:

    Denise Richards would like her face back please.

  12. Gil says:

    “I have this ability to block everything out”. Yeah, reality for a start.

  13. jferber says:

    Tristan treats all women badly. He dumped his pregnant girlfriend for Khloe, cheated on Khloe constantly and now, his third child’s mother says he is paying nothing for the new baby and not visiting him at all. He is an awful human being, but she can’t let go.

  14. HeyKay says:

    Block everything out = Living in denial.
    Not.A.Good.Thing

  15. Oria says:

    She sounds like she suppresses and internalizes a lot.

  16. grabbyhands says:

    So it looks like she chose the Sofia Ritchie special for her new face.

  17. Luna17 says:

    Apparently she is so good at blocking everything out that she blocked out Tristan’s d*** goes into anything with a pulse and then came to it and got upset?! This family isn’t the Smartest. This interview is so bland and vapid and they keep trying to make these sisters seem interesting but they keep regurgitating buzz phrases and sounds like robots. No original thoughts or individuality at all.

  18. serena says:

    “my manners and how I treat people” ..well, you should work harder on those.

  19. Sumodo1 says:

    I wish I could feel sorry for Khloé but then I’d get emotional and THAT’S what I urge Khloé to do with True! Find something real to be passionate about with your child. Build something real together. Just do something, Khloé! And, therapy.

  20. Jaded says:

    She’s morphing into Charo.

  21. Sushiroll says:

    Khloe is completely and utterly “Bless Your Heart” in person form.

  22. Zoochy says:

    That is some godawful photoshop.

  23. Trillion says:

    oh, so THAT’S her ability. I always wondered.

  24. april says:

    She looks awful. She looked way better before she did all this stuff to her hair and face. Not smiling doesn’t help her looks.

  25. Jamie Lisanby says:

    You will never be as “pretty” as your sisters. This desperate mission to rework your looks while still being the “real” one ended years ago.
    Go home and do the shut off mode for real. Exit social media, stop lying about what it is you really feel or want.
    Unless that is mean comments about your fake persona. In that case, keep it right up.

    • JWOOLMAN says:

      I always thought Khloe had the most interesting face. Now she just looks like everybody else their plastic surgeon works on. She should have just ignored the fools slamming her looks all the time (including her toxic mother). She looked fine. Now I have trouble recognizing her from one incarnation to the other.

      I wonder how kids deal with such frequent shifts in physical appearance? Just go by voice? Wait for the woman to say something before they can be sure it’s mom or auntie? By smell if the same perfume is used?
