Khloe Kardashian hit back after online critics slammed her and ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson for letting their six-year-old daughter wear makeup.
The pair previously came under fire for their parenting when Tristan shared a series of pictures of himself posing with True on his social media. The snaps showed the youngster heavily made-up with full fluffy lashes and bold red lipstick as she beamed alongside her dad.
Now Khloe has shared a series of images from backstage at the same event – a dance recital – where True is seen dressed in her adorable pink embellished leotard and tutu and posing with her makeup on. However, Khloe wasted no time in telling potential haters to back off before they even reached the comments section on the post.
She wrote: “My girls had their dance recital yesterday! Year 3 done. I can’t believe they already have done three years of dance. Life is moving quickly. They did two dances this year- Ballet and hiphop. I am so so proud of them! They were absolutely perfect… obviously none of our girls wear makeup like this regularly. This was for the recital only. They are beautiful just as they are. Yesterday was super special memories for a lifetime.”
Khloe’s words come after a string of comments criticising the heavy make-up on True when Tristan posted his pictures with her. The images were reposted to a Kardashian fan account on Instagram prompting a sea of criticism for the look. One shocked social media user wrote: “Too much make up and way to much lipstick and the wrong shade for a child. It’s a fail.”
A second added: “True is a natural beauty and doesn’t need all that makeup. Let babies be babies.” A third commented: “She looks absolutely stunning but it does upset me that we feel the need to plaster such small girls in makeup.”
A fourth social media user scathed: “Children are beautiful… they don’t need make up… especially red lipstick.” A fifth quipped:”That is way too much makeup. She’s a kid. Not an adult.”
However, many other fans pointed out that makeup is usually a dance recital requirement for girls of all ages as they jumped to Tristan and Khloe’s defence. One said: “Makeup for dance recitals is required. My daughter did dance for 10 years and colorguard 8th-12th grade which makeup was required as well.”
Another agreed:”OMG your child has clearly never been in a ballet recital…the teacher’s dress and does the girls makeup.” A third pointed out: “Guys just chill out, it’s totally normal for girls to have makeup on for dance recitals. It’s all part of it. Can you not just see a young girl happy spending time with her daddy and be nice about it. Jeez.”
A fourth echoed: “True looks beautiful and is the absolute spitting image of her dad. So nice to see them looking so happy together. Stop making it negative.” A fifth offered: “I can’t get over how much True looks like her dad. It’s like she stole his whole face. She looks absolutely beautiful, what a gorgeous little girl.”
