Khloe Kardashian Faces Accusations of 'Blackfishing' in Bratz Doll Halloween Costume

Kardashian's significantly darker complexion in her Instagram photos has sparked controversy, being accused of "blackfishing", a term for white individuals altering their appearance to imitate the look of black individuals.

• Khloe Kardashian sparked controversy for her Halloween costume as a Bratz doll. Critics claim her skin tone in the photos was noticeably darker, leading to accusations of 'blackfishing', a term for when white individuals mimic the appearance of black individuals for personal gain.
• Khloe's outfit included a yellow mini dress worn over a long-sleeved white shirt, a matching yellow beret and a platinum blonde wig. Despite her effort to dress authentically as a Bratz doll, the focus was largely diverted to her darker skin tone, which some followers described as '10 times darker'.
• Public backlash erupted on social media, with many voicing disapproval of her controversial appearance. Some comments questioned her intent behind darkening her skin, with a few wondering whether she was trying to look black.
• This is not the first time a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family has been accused of 'blackfishing'. Kylie Jenner has received similar criticism over her Bratz doll collection released in August.
• Despite the backlash, Khloe continued to post pictures in her costume with Kim Kardashian and their friends Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson, who also dressed as Bratz dolls. She hasn't yet responded to the 'blackfishing' accusations.
