The reality star explained why she decided to alter the snap back in February
Remember the altered picture Khloe Kardashian came under fire for posting earlier this year?
Well, the reality beauty has now explained the reason why she decided to Photoshop it.
Taking to her website, the 31-year-old revealed that she was involved in a car accident when she was 16 which left her needing reconstructive surgery.
"Whenever I post a picture of my legs on Instagram, everyone comments on how f**ked up my knees look," she wrote. "It's because I've had reconstructive surgery, you a**holes!”
Following the accident, the reality star was on crutches for six months and had to wear a leg brace that went from her ankle to upper thigh.
“My right leg is an inch and a half thinner than my left because my muscles deteriorated and never recovered,” Khloe said.
“It’s funny because everyone made a big stink about this Instagram photo because I Photoshopped it. Yes, I did Photoshop it, but I was trying to make my thinner leg look bigger to match my other leg!!! All I want are big, thick thighs and I hate how skinny my legs are.”
While describing the accident, she added: "I was was wearing my seatbelt but the strap was under my armpit. I was in a small Mercedes and it compacted in the wreck. My head and upper body went through the windshield and my legs were stuck under the steering wheel...
And the 31-year-old television personality also remembered some of the horrific injuries she had to face - but did reveal the unfortunate accident taught her a handy hair technique.
She added: "I had a neck brace, burns all over my body and had to take showers sitting in a chair. [My best friends] Malika and Khadijah [Haqq] would literally help me shower."They also did my hair so that I wouldn't have to wash it as often. That's how I first started wearing cornrows!"
