Kourtney Kardashian's Unedited Photo Is Causing A Commotion
As "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" came to an end, fans tuned in to watch Andy Cohen ask the famous family all the unanswered questions to come out of Season 20 in the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" reunion.
One question that prompted many reactions on social media was whether or not the Kardashians promote unattainable beauty standards for women, given the reported plastic surgery the family members have had. Kim Kardashian came to the defense of all her sisters, telling Cohen (via People), "No, I don't. Because I think we get up, we do the work. We work out." Kendall Jenner chimed in adding, "We all really enjoy taking care of ourselves and being healthy, so I think if anything, the only thing we're really trying to represent is just being the most healthy version of yourself."
Whether fans agree with the ladies' sentiments or not, one thing is for sure that the Kardashian who most actively promotes being a "healthy version of yourself" is Kourtney Kardashian. The reality star shared her journey in wellness throughout the E! series, attempting to get her family in on her gluten-free lifestyle and eventually starting her own lifestyle brand, Poosh. Kourtney's dedication to health, wellness, and natural beauty has caught the eyes of fans, as the reaction to a July 8 Instagram photo demonstrates.
Kourtney Kardashian was praised for her unedited photos
Appearing in a tiny, thong bikini, Kourtney Kardashian got a little cheeky in a new Instagram post for her lifestyle brand Poosh. The photo was of the backside of the 42-year-old mom of three, proving the early AM workouts at the Kardashian camp are truly working. The caption for the photo emphasized Kourtney's "rounder rear," promoting a Poosh interview with Kourtney's personal trainer. But it wasn't the roundness of Kourtney's behind that caught the eyes of fans — it was the cellulite left unedited. "Unedited, omg I love her," wrote one fan, as another called the reality star an "unedited queen." Another commenter praised the Kardashian for empowering "the natural women body!!"
Back in 2019, Kourtney shared with her Poosh fans that she has stretch marks and gave tips on how to get rid of them. The celeb posted an Instagram bikini photo showing off her physique and was met with love, with one fan writing, "love our tiger stripes @kourtneykardash and @poosh I'm glad you didn't edit the photos makes us the women that we are!"
The positive feedback to Kourtney's Instagram photos just might prove she is "the most interesting to look at," as Kim Kardashian would say.
Kourtney Kardashian was shocked by the positive feedback from fans
After the positive fan reaction to Kourtney Kardashian's 2019 Instagram post about stretch marks, the reality star revealed to Health Magazine that she was shocked by the comments. "I was surprised by that," Kourtney said. "I've had stretch marks since eighth or ninth grade on the side of my booty. I never cared about them — I like them!"
Kourtney has been a vocal champion for healthy, natural cosmetic products and revealed to Health that her "social consciousness" all began after having her firstborn, Mason. Eventually, Kourtney's dedication to wellness turned into her business Poosh. "I felt like there wasn't really [a resource] for a woman who is healthy and into wellness but also sexy and cool," she said to Health. "There is this image out there of the woman who cares about eating organic and feeding her kids that way that is somehow uncool. That's not the case, and I wanted to make something that embodied my passions and interests."
Despite the Kardashian's attempts to get her family on board with her lifestyle habits, her sisters don't seem to care for the "all-natural" approach to their lavish lives.
Khloé Kardashian requested an unedited bikini photo be taken off the web
Aside from starring in a reality series, raising three kids, and beginning a lifestyle brand, Kourtney Kardashian has made it her mission to slowly get her sisters Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie, along with her mom Kris, on board with an organic, gluten-free lifestyle. "I've pretty much gotten everyone switched over to boxed water or glass," said the reality star to Health Magazine. "But when I go to my family's houses and I see nonorganic milk or fruit or vegetables, it really bothers me — like, "Why do you not think [organic] is better?" It really irks me."
While the other members of the Kardashian family try to promote a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise, when it comes to beauty, Kourtney's sisters differ on whether to show the world their unedited selves.
In April of 2021, Khloé Kardashian was met with social media gossip over an untouched bikini photo surfacing the internet. The Daily Mail reported that the reality star had her PR team attempt to remove the un-airbrushed image from the internet for "copyright infringement." Once news got out that the Kardashian wanted the unedited photo of the internet, fans grew confused, as they loved being able to see their favorite celeb in a natural light. Maybe the positive reaction to Kourtney's cellulite photo will change Khloé's mind?
