Khloé Kardashian shut down a troll who asked if she misses her 'old face'

• On Wednesday, Khloé Kardashian posted a filtered video of her workout routine on Instagram.
• A troll commented asking if she missed her "old face," and Kardashian replied, "No."
• Kardashian previously attempted to remove all traces of an unedited photo of herself from the internet. 

Khloé Kardashian didn't hold back when a troll took aim at her appearance on a recent social-media post. 

On Wednesday, Kardashian posted an Instagram video of her extensive workout routine, which included clips of her working with a trainer and a cameo from her daughter, True.

The reality TV star spoke directly to the camera multiple times in the post, filling the frame with her face and highlighting that she used a filter when filming the video.

The video attracted thousands of comments as most of Kardashian's posts do, with some users making observations about the exercise regimen or Tristan Thompson liking the post.

But other users in Kardashian's comments section took aim at her appearance, with several remarking that they "could barely recognize her."

One user, in particular, wrote, "Do you miss your old face?"

Kardashian replied to the post with a simple, "No."

Over 2,500 people have liked Kardashian's comment as of Thursday. 

Around the same time she replied to the comment, Kardashian posted a quote from Amber Lyon on her Instagram story about the importance of speaking kindly to others.

"If you knew your words would attract more of what they spoke — would you choose to speak differently? The words we speak become the world we live in," the quote said. "Whatever follows 'I am' we actively invite into our lives. Speak from a place of love and compassion for yourself and others."

Kardashian's looks have changed drastically as her family has risen to fame, which she has said didn't happen accidentally. In 2018, on her show "Revenge Body," Kardashian revealed that her sisters said she needed to lose weight because her size was "hurting" their "brand."

She also told InStyle on March 10 that she was "obsessive" about her weight when she filed for divorce from Lamar Odom in 2013.

T. Makana Chock, a media psychologist who is a communications professor at Syracuse University, previously told Insider that it's not surprising influencers and celebrities use filters on their social-media posts, as it's a form of currency, particularly for those who literally make money off of their posts. 

"As an influencer who wants to be successful in what is essentially business, you are expected to appear in a certain way, to have a certain appearance," she said.

"They're playing a role, and to some extent, their image actually helps them to create and define this role," Chock added.

Kardashian's control over her appearance has come to be one of her most powerful tools as her fame has grown, and this isn't the first time she's taken action when that control was threatened.

In April 2021, her team worked to remove all traces of an "unauthorized" and unedited photo of her in a bikini from the internet.

"The color edited photo was taken of Khloé during a private family gathering and posted to social media without permission by mistake by an assistant," the chief marketing officer for KKW Brands, Tracy Romulus, told Page Six at the time. "Khloé looks beautiful but it is within the right of the copyright owner to not want an image not intended to be published taken down." 

Kardashian later shared a statement on the matter to Twitter, writing, "The pressure, constant ridicule and judgment my entire life to be perfect and to meet other's standards of how I should look has been too much to bear."

Representatives for Kardashian did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
