Blackfishing refers to someone pretending to be Black or mixed-race using tools like hairstyling and makeup.
Khloe’s sisters have also been accused of blackfishing numerous times.
Kim was slammed for her “out of control” tan while on a date with Pete Davidson and Kylie faced backlash for her visibly darker skin and tight braid.
Khloe also came under fire earlier this month after a photo resurfaced of her showing off a traditional African American hairstyle.

Her blonde hair was styled in numerous tight buns in the photo from 2016.
One person lashed out at the star’s hairstyle calling her a “cultural appropriator.”
‘CULTURAL APPROPRIATION’
“This is bantu knots which is a traditional african hairstyle. It was really popular amongst AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN at the time as a low maintenance style for natural hair,” they wrote.
“Of course this cultural appropriator thought it was okay to put in her hair. Ugh.”
Meanwhile, Khloe has sparked concern in recent weeks with her weight loss in her recent Good American ads and social media photos following her ex Tristan Thompson’s cheating scandal.
Late last month, a TikTok user with the handle “ImLauriee” shared their concern over how quickly Khloe appeared to have lost weight.
“Can we talk about how skinny Khloe Kardashian has gotten?” she said.
“Her legs are so small. Should we be blaming Tristan? I just don’t understand. I’m concerned.”
TRISTAN SCANDAL
Tristan – who shares daughter True, three, with Khloe – fathered a child with Maralee Nichols back in December 2021.
In January, he admitted in a lengthy Instagram post that he is indeed the father of Maralee’s child.
After the NBA player revealed the paternity results, he also issued a public apology to Khloe.
“Khloe. you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you,” Tristan said.
“You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions have certainly not lined up with the way I view you.
“I have the utmost respect and love for you, regardless of what you may think. Again I am so incredibly sorry.”
The exes were in an exclusive relationship at the time of Tristan’s affair with Maralee.
