Khloé Kardashian Slams Backlash Over New Video

Khloé Kardashian has hit out at critics on social media following backlash over her latest Instagram post.

The 39-year-old shared a video of her using Medicube's 6-In-1 Skincare Booster Pro to the platform on Saturday, dubbing the device a "game changer."

"My skin has been glowing, it's been dewy, it's been hydrated," Kardashian said in the short clip, showing followers a close up of her skin.

The reality star demonstrated how to use the gadget, which promises to boost users' skin through six different modes.

"My favorite is the booster setting," Kardashian explained, dipping the device into the brand's Collagen Niacinamide Jelly Cream. The socialite placed the Skincare Booster against her cheek, moving the machine in a circular motion.

"It puts the product seven times more into your skin and your pores and all that," she continued. "This thing helps with pores, hydration, it sculpts, lifts. It's a no-brainer."

However, one user slammed Kardashian for supposedly wearing makeup in the video.

"You have on a lot of makeup," Wendy Williams commented. "Not natural, but carry on!!"

In response, Kardashian hit back: "[The] only product on my skin is my tinted moisturizer. I'll post a pic in case anyone wants or needs.

"I like a few different ones. Tinted moisturizer is a must for me."

Another Instagrammer accused the mom-of-two of promoting the device but not actually using it in real life.

"First and last time she used this device was on this video," wrote Rebeca Santos.

To which Kardashian replied: "I'll never understand how people take the time to post anything that's not nice on someone else's page. I could never imagine myself doing that.

"Anyways, you're entitled to your own opinion but beautiful baby you are oh so very wrong. I know, I know... You will believe what serves your narrative."

Newsweek has reached out to Khloé Kardashian for comment via Instagram

Many followers praised Kardashian's responses, dubbing her a "queen."

"You just got ate up by Khloe [m************] KARDASHIAN," wrote @yayahypnosis.

"Always with the classy mature loving but honest clap back," said Crystal McBee.

"Khloe shot them down in flames," commented Marina Peterson.

"Must be hiding under your bed after the clap back Khloe gave u," said Tracy Melanie.

Others believed that Kardashian should have just left the trolls alone, instead of shooting back and potentially adding fuel to the fire.

"Why even respond hun?" asked Dr. Raphael, DMFT.

"It was to get a response from you so their existence feels validated. Don't engage such people," said Maliza Abwooli.

"Don't give her your energy," agreed Lisa Keates.

"Khloe just be your beautiful self, you don't owe anyone any explanations," wrote Stacey Leeper DeWall, while Ari G said: "Just keep scrolling gurl."

Kardashian is used to dealing with negative comments on social media. Earlier this month, the Good American founder was attacked over a bikini pic she shared to Instagram while vacationing with her sisters in the Turks and Caicos.

"This post is for me to be motivated!" she wrote alongside the snap, which showed her lounging on the beach in a rose gold bikini. "Come on Khloé! You got this. Time to turn up the cardio and weights."

However, many users warned Kardashian about promoting unhealthy beauty standards, with one writing: "Careful what messages you're sending to young women."

An Easter selfie with her mom and 6-year-old daughter True Thompson also grabbed attention for the wrong reasons.

Kardashian shared the family photo to Instagram, but some users accused the TV star of using the photo-editing app FaceTune to change her child's appearance.

"This is heartbreaking," wrote one commenter, while another called True "naturally beautiful."
