The Kardashians are threatening legal action after a photo of Khloé Kardashian in a bikini was posted “by mistake” on Instagram over the weekend.
The Kardashians aren’t shy when it comes to showing off their impressive bikini bodies on social media, but this particular photo of Khloe Kardashian showing skin has sparked somewhat of a controversy.
An unedited photo of the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star in a bikini made its way around the Internet over the weekend to the surprise of the famous family’s camp, who reportedly threatened legal action if replications of it weren’t removed.
“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,” Tracy Romulus, who serves as chief marketing officer of Kim Kardashian’s KKW Brands, said in a statement.
“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,” the statement continued.
The photo shows the reality star’s face and body, as she appears in a bikini by a pool, without the heavy editing and airbrushing that are mainstays of photos Kardashian normally puts on Instagram. Many copies of the photo were taken down under legal threats from the Kardashian camp.
