Khloe Kardashian 'Cried' About Brother Rob's Weight Struggles? 'She's Protective'
Rob Kardashian recently hit back at taunts about his weight on social networking site Twitter and a new report claims the cruel jabs reduced his protective sister Khloe to tears.
On Monday the reality TV star, 27, began trending on Twitter after a series of unflattering photos revealed his substantial weight gain. Hashtags like #robkardashian followed by #WeLoveYouRob were still trending early Tuesday which prompted Kardashian to speak out and defend himself.
"So i found out i was trending for being fat... thank you all it really made my day :)," Kardashian tweeted to his 4 million followers.
Khloe, who is renowned for speaking her mind on twitter, did just that in her brother's defense and urged critics to back off. Insiders claim the reality TV star was hurt after witnessing haters mock Rob about his weight.
"She's so protective of her family and took a moment to cry on her flight to Paris just thinking about how awful Rob must feel," a source told HollywoodLife.com. "She cried for him because she knows somewhere he's lost touch and let his weight get out of control."
The Kardashian family is currently in Paris, France preparing for Kim's upcoming wedding to Kanye West and what should be a celebratory time for all has reportedly been stressful and humiliating for Rob. Khloe has been doing her best to support her brother.
"She feels awful for Rob because this is NOT how he wants to look in general, nor for his sister's wedding," the source said.
"He already feels like s--- and for the media to continue to f--- with him is just pure evil," the insider added.
The sock designer, who is the younger sister of famed reality TV star Kim Kardashian, was photographed for the first time in months at LAX with his mother Kris Jenner on Sunday. His weight gain sparked criticism and cruel taunts which understandably upset him.
"I'm aware that I'm fat that def aint a surprise to me lol and my only therapy will be in the gym anyways had to say somethingggggggggg," he wrote.
"And to the blogs saying i went to fat camp or rehab LOL then why am i still fat u fools?? y'all must have run out of real news," he continued. "First, i don't believe in rehab or therapy or anything of that sort and second I'm a grown man and will work on myself when i choose."
