This Halloween season, Khloe Kardashian might have made the biggest celebrity gaffe after rumors about her blackfishing surfaced due to her Bratz costume.
To be completely honest, I couldn't find Khloe in the picture of the Bratz costumes, so when I first saw it on her page, I thought she was shouting out to her friends.
I didn't recognize her as the yellow Bratz doll until she shared her solo photos.
To be fair, most people look unrecognizable in their Halloween costumes, but Khloe Kardashian's color seems to be the source of contention among the crew.
One person tweeted, “If Khloe’s name wasn’t right there, I’d never believe that this is her. Choosing Bratz is a pretty safe choice to get away with looking like a racially ambiguous/mixed black girl. Our skin is not a damn costume.”
Someone else wrote, “I am a huge Bratz fan & I truly like #KhloeKardashian…still there are so many Bratz dolls and you can dress like Yasmine of the Bratz without darkening your skin…’trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit.’ – Jesse Williams”
There were others who defended Khloe’s costume and slammed people for always finding an issue with her.
“Y’all don’t let Khloe Kardashian do — !!!! She doesn’t look like she’s trying to be black. She looks like herself & IT’S HALLOWEEN… she’s a BRATZ doll…y’all are annoying!!! & Y’ALL LOOK A MESS,” a supporter tweeted.
The comment section on Khloe’s post pretty much mirrored the sentiment on social media.
The Kardashians are no stranger to blackfishing accusations, especially where Bratz is concerned.
You may recall that Kylie Jenner’s promo photos for her mini Bratz collection also garnered a collective side-eye.
