Khloé Kardashian Just Issued a Preemptive 'PSA' About Her 'Pregnancy Lips'

Season 15 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians premieres on Sunday night (can you believe?!), and Khloé Kardashian—given that she’s fully aware of what the Internet can be like—is laying it down before the trolls can get a word in. She took to Instagram Stories ahead of the premiere to share a message that not only gives a hint about the months in her life that the upcoming season will document but tells haters, preemptively, to back off.
“PSA I was pregnant during this entire season of KUWTK,” she wrote. “Some women get “pregnancy lips”. I was one of them. So my lips look crazy and massive. Trust me I know and I HATED it! A lot of wild shit happens to your body and face while pregnant. It’s out of our control.”
She continued, making a very important point: “Most people don’t have to film during an entire pregnancy so Just watch the show and be kind about my growing body and lips. Pregnant women should be off limits.”
Kardashian is obviously too right about how pregnant women should be—but often aren’t—off limits when it comes to comments about their bodies and appearance (that being said, all women should be off limits when it comes to those kinds of unsolicited comments). Bodies change like crazy during pregnancy, from weight gain to stretch marks to fuller lips, and that’s completely natural and part of the whole deal.
She’s not the only one who’s had to quash trolls going on about “pregnancy lips,” either: Beyoncé’s publicist actually had to address rumors that Bey had gotten lip injections, explaining that her fuller lips were a side effect of pregnancy.
“Swelling is a normal part of pregnancy, and it happens in just about every part of your body, including your lips,” Sherry Ross, M.D., ob-gyn and women’s health expert at Providence Saint John’s Health Center, told Glamour last May.
Welp, there ya go: We heard it from Khloé, from a doctor, and from (the closest person to) Beyoncé herself.
