Khloé’s incest joke backfires

Khloé Kardashian has joked her relationship with brother Robert is an incestuous one.

The controversy was incited when the 30-year-old reality star’s younger brother tweeted about her buttocks on Wednesday.

Robert had shared a front and back collage of Khloé hitting the gym, with the caption reading: “#WCW @khloekardashian shneeeeee meeeee claaaaaa.”

The WCW stands for “Woman Crush Wednesday” and is frequently used among Instagram posters.

Khloé then shared Robert’s post on her Instagram account minutes later, writing in the image caption: “Totally a normal brother/sister relationship. Incest is best!!! #HeyBooHey.”

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s post caused controversy among her followers on the photo-sharing site.

While some responded to Khloé’s unique sense of humour, others blasted her for making light of something as serious as incest.

Khloé often speaks of her close relationship with her brother. She has also been instrumental in helping Rob getting his life back on track following a reported breakdown and stint in rehab earlier this year.

Khloé had also caused controversy earlier on Wednesday by posting a picture on Instagram of herself at the gym.

The shot, which showed her laying on the floor of the gym wearing spandex leggings, was captioned with: “Today was intense lol I was gym road kill.”

However, fans were quick to point out that Khloé’s personal trainer Gunnar Peterson had posted the same image the week before on his own Instagram page.

Khloé’s sister Kim was accused of similar trickery earlier this year when she posed a Google image of a Thai beach under the pretence that it was her own picture.
