Amid the controversy, Khloe shared a pouting selfie while promoting a water brand.
The 36-year-old wore a white ribbed tank and styled her hair in long waves as she posed with the water bottle in her hand.
Khloe said she’s “proud to be a partner and investor of ZenWTR”, which she said helps to “reduce future ocean pollution”.
The mother-of-one’s critics flocked to the comments to claim that she looks “totally different” in the shot.
“You don’t look real in this picture,” one wrote.
“Every time I see you, you look totally different,” another added, while a third asked: “Is this Khloe?”
In the leaked image, Khloe looks fresh-faced as she poses in a leopard-print bikini at what looks like her mother Kris Jenner‘s desert compound in La Quinta, California.
While she still looks amazing in the photo, the reality star doesn’t look as flawless as she normally does in her glossy fashion shoots.
Her curves seem less dramatic and her skin doesn’t look as impossibly smooth as her usual social media images.
Khloe’s team is said to be “desperate to scrub the unedited bikini pic from the internet” after fans accused the star of editing her photos.
Copies of the photo have been taken down under “legal threats” from the Kardashians‘ team, according to Page Six.
Her team called the snap “beautiful,” but explained they wanted gone because it was not authorized.
Tracy Romulus, chief marketing officer for KKW Brands, said in a statement: “The color edited photo was taken of Khloé during a private family gathering and posted to social media without permission by mistake by an assistant.
“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.”
Khloe has $136million followers on Instagram and reportedly earns millions for her sponsored posts, as well for plugging her denim line Good American.
In May 2020, it was estimated that the mother-of-one can make $620,000 with just one Instagram endorsement, according to the Myprotein study in conjunction with Inkifi.
Over the Easter weekend, Khloe showed off her frame in a new nude string bikini before covering up her torso with an oversized shirt.
The E! star has been sharing a ton of bikini shots lately as she claps back at the trolls.

In fact, she told her fans to “start ignoring people who threaten your joy.”
“Literally ignore them. Say nothing. Don’t invite any parts of them into your space,” the Good American founder posted.
Criticism of Khloe reached an all-time high after viewers saw her in recent commercial with True.
