As we’re all taught, it’s important to tell the truth — especially when you’re one of the most famous people in the world and might very easily get caught.

Despite being the undisputed queen of meticulously crafting her public image, Kim Kardashian recently found herself caught up in a little white lie — or perhaps a gray one, on this occasion.

The discussion began with cohost Ryan Seacrest quizzing Kim on how she maintains her platinum locks, prompting the Skims founder to lift the lid on the lengthy process that goes into bleaching her naturally dark roots.

“When I dye my roots, it’s gonna take probably eight hours, so I’ve just been lazy,” she said. “It’s so much work.”

The trio then moved onto the topic of gray hair, with Kim quick to say she’s yet to reach that milestone.

“I have not gone gray yet,” Kim said, failing to mask the beaming grin on her face. “I haven’t had a gray hair yet, isn’t that weird?!”

Well, Kim, since you asked: Some might say that, yes, that is weird — or certainly a tad unusual, at least.

Of course, this wildly varies among women, but being that Kim is nearly 42, she’d be doing pretty well to have not found a single gray hair by this point.

A quick Google search will tell you that Kim actually got her first gray in 2018 at 37 years old — and funnily enough, she broke the news while chatting on Live with Kelly and Ryan that year.

At the time of her appearance, Kim’s then-husband, Kanye West, had been at the center of attention following a number of heated Twitter tirades and controversial interviews, including one where he famously claimed that slavery was a “choice.”

Kim came to her husband’s defense in the wake of the backlash and joked during her appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan that he’d caused her so much stress that she’d gone gray.

“He’s doing really good,” she said of Ye. “He’s in Wyoming recording, he has a couple of albums coming out so he’s just focused on that.”

“I will say,” she added with a smirk, “he gave me my first gray hair this week, and I am blaming that on him.”

Having been through a lot of trauma — and notably, a divorce — in the four years since that interview, Kim could certainly be excused for having forgotten about that one particular gray.

“What a fckn weird thing to lie about. I got my first gray hair at like 24,” one user wrote.

“Like is this an attempt at a flex?” added another as many fans attempted to make sense of her story.

So, why might she lie about such a thing?

In fact, Kim shamelessly admitted to the New York Times in June that she’d “try anything” that might make her look younger.

And with all that in mind, I guess there’s only one thing left to say: The truth will always prevail — particularly if you’re Kim K.

Ever since her rise to fame in 2007, Khloé Kardashian has battled with her body image after being constantly compared to her sisters.

In 2015, the star recalled being made to feel like “the fat sister” by the media, and opened up about the devastating impact that it had on the way that she viewed herself.

“I didn’t really realize that I was ‘the fat sister,’ if you will, until I went on TV and the media started saying that about me,” she told People magazine at the time. “I almost let that take ownership of me. [But really] I wasn’t fat. I wasn’t obese. But I would let society make me believe that I was.”

But as her star power grew, Khloé began to transform her body and before long weight loss had become an established part of her brand — whether it be through her 2017 reality series, Revenge Body, or her book, Strong Looks Better Naked.

Tristan had attempted to keep the scandal from Khloé and appeared to have no intention of telling her that he had a baby on the way with another woman.

It has since been revealed that Tristan was also encouraging Khloé to go forward with their surrogacy plans for their second baby, and the embryo was transferred to the surrogate just days before news of Maralee’s pregnancy broke online and Khloé found out “with the rest of the world.”

Khloé opened up about the devastating impact that Tristan’s betrayal had on her in last week’s premiere episode of The Kardashians Season 2, where she also discussed her surrogacy journey and son’s birth in July for the first time

And in this week’s episode, which was filmed earlier in the year, Kim revealed that their younger sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, had expressed concern for Khloé’s extreme weight loss amid all of the drama.

Looking at her sister as they lounged on a bed together, Kim said: “You look very skinny… I will say that Kendall and Kylie — not that I’m trying to out them — but they did text me and say that they were a little concerned for you because you’re really skinny. I said, ‘I think she’s a bit stressed.'”

As the camera cut to Khloé, she appeared to be elated by the comment as a huge smile crept across her face and she held a hand to her chest in disbelief.

Ignoring the concern from which these comments were made, Khloé let out an excited gasp and playfully posed with her leg in the air while smiling to herself.

Later in the episode, Khloé visited Kendall at her home and as they hugged hello Kendall exclaimed: “You’re so skinny!” to which Khloé replied: “Oh my gosh, you’re so skinny!” Kendall then repeated: “You’re so skinny!”

“So sad to see Khloé look delighted when Kim tells her she’s skinny and they’re all worried about her,” one person wrote on a Reddit thread. Someone replied: “And then her and Kendall hugging and celebrating being skinny 😭 wtf”

“Yeah. I was kinda done with that. Sisters apparently expressing concern about her health & she celebrates?” another user wrote.

The sentiment was echoed in a second Reddit forum, where a user commented: “So fucking sad to watch Khloe react with pure elation as Kim told her the siblings expressed concern over her dramatic weight loss… It’s almost as if the only thing her self worth is tied to now is her BMI ☹️”

“Why was Khloe literally excited that Kendall thought she was getting too skinny ?!” another asked. One person replied: “She’s been told for so long that she’s overweight by her family and media that it can be validating to hear the opposite, especially when people think you’re skinny enough that they get concerned. It’s sad though.”

Others weren’t impressed with the way that the show presented the concern, with a fan writing: “Then they just glossed over it? Completely erasing the severity and complexity of her new weight loss — they could’ve turned the moment into a meaningful conversation and also maybe added a trigger warning.”

And earlier this year Kim was also criticized by a registered dietician for setting a “terrible example” and “perpetuating eating disorders” by boasting about losing a significant amount of weight to fit into her Met Gala dress.

Just days before Khloé gave birth to their first child — daughter True – in 2018, it was revealed that Tristan had been cheating on her throughout her pregnancy.

The following year, he was caught kissing Kylie’s then-best-friend Jordyn Woods at a party, and it has now been revealed that Tristan proposed to Khloé that December, even though they weren’t officially back together at the time.
