Khloe Kardashian posts cryptic quotes amid bikini photo drama

As the uproar surrounding Khloe Kardashian’s unedited bikini photo leak continues, the reality star has taken to social media with vague messages.

Khloe Kardashian has taken to Instagram with a series of cryptic posts as the drama surrounding her bikini photo unfolds.

The reality star, 36, is yet to directly address reports that her team are scrambling to have the image – which was reportedly taken and accidentally uploaded by an assistant on Easter – removed from the internet.

It shows the mother-of-one posing poolside in a leopard print bikini at her mother Kris Jenner’s Palm Springs mansion.

And while she looks phenomenal, her insistence to have it deleted has made the situation worse, and also exposed just how much she edits her other pictures.

The unedited bikini photo of Khloe Kardashian that has gone viral.

As conversation about the photo refused to die down yesterday, Kardashian uploaded two separate quotes on her Instagram story, with one reading “A secret to happiness is letting every situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be and then making the best of it.”

The other post suggested Kardashian was craving “space”. “It charges my batteries,” the quote added. “It helps me breathe. Being around people can be so exhausting, because most of them love to take and barely know how to give. Except for a rare few.”

The image in question had been circulating online since the weekend and was originally said to have been taken over Easter and posted by an assistant.

However, Khloe’s maternal grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, has since emerged as a potential suspect.

Kardashian family representatives went into overdrive as the offending bikini photo circulated.

“The colour edited photo was taken of Khloé during a private family gathering and posted to social media without permission by mistake by an assistant,” Tracy Romulus, chief marketing officer for KKW Brands, said in a statement earlier this week.

“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.”

An unverified screenshot circulating on Reddit also shows Kardashian’s older sister, Kim Kardashian West, sending a fan a direct message on Twitter, asking them to delete the photo.

The direct message appears to show Kim claiming a “doctored stolen photo was taken of Khloe that is in the worst lighting,” calling it a “copy wright (sic) infringement due to it being stolen and posted from a fake account of my grandmas.”
