Khloe Kardashian, 39, finds herself amid allegations of digitally altering photos, this time involving her Russian Blue cat, Grey Kitty. Critics claim she used FaceTune — an image editing app — on the pet’s images shared on Instagram for Valentine’s Day.
Khloe accused of using FaceTune on her cat
Observant fans noticed peculiar details in one photo where Grey Kitty appeared unusually smooth. The cat’s blue-green eyes seemed exceptionally vibrant and her expression looked uncannily perfect. Moreover, her whiskers seemed to vanish, leading some to suspect the use of an editing tool. A Reddit user said, “This is an actual illness at this point,” critiquing Kardashian’s distorted perception of reality. “Even the pets aren’t safe,” another commented.
Despite the uproar, some defended the photo’s authenticity. They argued that Russian Blues exhibit striking looks and require no digital enhancement. One admirer highlighted the breed’s natural beauty and prestigious status, suggesting that Grey Kitty’s appearance was unedited.
Others contributed to the defense by noting breed-specific features that might explain the photo’s aesthetics, like the inherent eye color and smiling facial structure, suggesting Grey could be a breed mix. They also claimed the whiskers were present but not prominently visible due to lighting.
This incident isn’t Khloe Kardashian’s first controversy over photo editing — per US Magazine. Previously criticized for altering her appearance in social media posts, Kardashian has admitted to finding FaceTune “life-changing,” acknowledging its role in crafting an online persona. She also remarked on the pressure for social media validation, hinting at a broader cultural issue.
“It’s not real, you are presenting to the world what you want them to believe you are,” she said in a 2016 interview with Chelsea Handler. “It’s amazing. I think our society nowadays is so caught up on getting validation from the social world that no one really knows, so they post these things.”
Despite facing backlash for her changing looks in 2020, sources close to Kardashian stated she remained unaffected by public opinion and prioritizes her own satisfaction over external validation.
