According to Complex, the shoot was interrupted by a visit from Kim, who coined herself “creative director” of the shoot, asking, “How much nipple we’re allowed to show.” I think we can all agree that the images are striking and powerful sans nipple. Maybe next time, Kim.

“I don’t know if I’m ever gonna feel like ‘Daaamn, you look good,’” she tells Complex. “But I’ve never felt as comfortable in my own skin than I do now.” Apparently feeling good in your own skin brings out the crazies. Shortly after posting the stunning cover image on Instagram, Internet trolls were quick to say that her entire body was airbrushed and Photoshopped. In natural Kardashian form, Khloe posted a photo of the untouched image directly beside the one that appears in the magazine spread:
“This one is for all the troll haters out there that cannot seem to give me an ounce of credit for my daily workouts!” she says. “The image on the left is an unretouched photo from the actual camera on the day of the shoot. The image on the right is the retouched photo. Yes skin is smooth and shadows are removed but I still think I look good on the left image. Flaws and all.” Hard work pays off, Khloe. Keep up the good work.
