Looks like Khloe Kardashian-Odom would rather not go naked for PETA
after all. The reality star has quit her support of the animal-rights
group after one of its "superstar" members flour-bombed her older
sister Kim at the launch of her perfume last Thursday night in Los
Angeles. In a Monday blog post, Khloe ranted: "I've been a vocal
supporter of PETA for a long time but I have also been very vocal about
anti-bullying, so this was a huge disappointment for me. As you all
know, I don't condone violence and bullying and what happened last
Thursday was just that. I am absolutely disgusted by their behavior.
Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions — I personally
don't wear fur but that doesn't mean I am going to force my views on
anyone else, ESPECIALLY by violating them. I am a very proud sister
right now, because Kim handled last week's incident like a champ. She
got cleaned up and was back out there in a matter of minutes."
Khloe, 27, first linked up with PETA in 2009 when she posed nude for
one of their "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaigns. But
although she no longer supports PETA, she says she will continue to
shun wearing fur. "We all need to practice what we preach," she added.
"Bullying and harassment is NEVER a solution, and I won't be a part of
any organization that thinks otherwise."
In a strange twist, the woman who threw the flour on Kim, Christina
Cho, is the sister of Los Angeles-based PETA official, Michelle Cho,
who coordinated Khloe's campagin — and even appeared on an episode of
"Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Kim has said she is considering
pressing charges against Christina Cho. Think she should?
