FAN BACKLASH
Many followers were stunned by the clip and the Halloween costume overall, taking to Reddit and social media to slam the stars and accuse them of “blackfishing.”
Blackfishing refers to someone altering their appearance through hairstyling or makeup to appear Black or another race.
“How will True and Tatum feel when they grow older and see things like this, making a costume out of their natural lips? Maybe things like this are the reason the black men she dates keep dogging her,” one scathed.
“Oh so now they mock black women to boot – all while cosplaying as one .. f**king a**holes.. can we cancel these b***hes already,” a second ranted.
“And the media will completely ignore them doing blackface. Anyone else would be cancelled,” a third claimed.
“What in the hell?! Is this a coat of latex over their lips? I’m so confused?” a fourth wondered.
“Thought this was a black woman when first seen,” a fifth put shortly.
“They blackfish all the time, what else is new? Like she legit looks nothing like herself. I thought she was a black women when I first seen it,” a final agreed.
BLACKFISHING ALLEGATIONS
This wasn’t the first occasion Khloe has faced blackfishing claims.
Back in July, fans noticed odd details about her appearance in a video.
A grab from an episode of The Kardashians was posted on Reddit where critics picked it apart and accused her of blackfishing.
Several commenters noted that Khloe looked significantly tanner in the scenes than she typically does.
They asked: “Who does she think she is?”
The person who posted the grab went on to claim that when the Good American founder “does somewhere to interact with people of color she dresses” in a different way than her normal style.
Another commenter pointed out her “privilege,” writing: “Classic case of a privileged white woman dressing up in casual streetwear because she wants to seem relatable to all the cultured moms soldiering through life in the ghetto. I’d love to see Khloe last five minutes in the real world where moms struggle and grind every day to raise their kids.
“The audacity that she’s using that as an aesthetic.”
