Khloé Kardashian Calls Out Trainer Who Branded Her ‘Fat’

Khloe Kardashian She revisits a moment from her past that highlights how far society has come in conversations about body image.

The reality star spoke about being body-shamed by her fitness trainer in 2006, and described the era as a “different time”.

Khloe Kardashian has since lost 40 pounds, which she credits to a balanced diet and regular exercise routine.

In a candid reflection during the Season 7 premiere of The Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian spoke about an era that glorified thinness at all costs.

She revealed that she felt ashamed of her former coach, Barry Jay, the same person she was turning to in the scene that appears in the episode.

“Remember when Barry called me fat?” Khloe had asked her sister Kourtney over the phone while she was sitting stuck in traffic on her way to the location, according to Daily Mail.

She added: “This was years and years ago, and we were running, and I stopped. And he was like, ‘This is what you’re fat for!'” And I was like, “This is why I’m here!”

In a live interview with the camera, Khloe reflected on that moment, saying that she was “fatter” than she is now. However, at the time, she felt it was a “weird way to encourage people”, even though she did not confront the fitness coach about his remarks.

Despite the sting of the comment, Khloe appears to have no hard feelings towards Barry, who co-owns a well-known fitness studio chain.

Proof of this seems to be the fact that his studio was featured in the mini-series “Kourtney and Kim Take New York,” which aired from 2011 to 2012.

Khloe’s belief that it was simply a “different time,” when such comments were fairly common and rarely questioned, could also be a factor.

“This was, like, 2006. The Biggest Loser and diet pills,” Khloe spoke further about the experience.

She added: “You were allowed to call people fat. But we never spoke after that. That’s literally the entire exchange.”

Years later, while filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloe began experiencing body image issues fueled by constant public scrutiny and comparisons.

“When the show first started, I was very safe, very safe,” she revealed during a reunion for the show in 2021.

“And then for the first two seasons, I became insecure because of public opinions of myself. And then, I think, I had a good period of feeling secure, and then I think more recently I’ve become insecure again. So I think it’s going up and down,” she added.

Over the years, Khloe has seen her weight fluctuate, with her pregnancy playing a major role in some of the changes.

These days, the reality TV star looks noticeably slimmer, a transformation she attributes to maintaining a clean diet and consistent exercise regimen.

“For example, I will stop drinking all soft drinks. Little by little, I will stop eating things,” Khloe once revealed. Daily Mail.

“I would do it for a week and then stop doing something else because I realized I was on every diet under the sun when I was younger,” she added.
