Khloe Kardashian Quits PETA After Kim's Flour Bomb Attack: 'I'm Disgusted'
In a statement posted on her blog moments ago -- and provided exclusively to Celebuzz -- 27-year-old Khloe wrote: “I just received word that the woman responsible has very close ties to PETA, despite PETA publicly stating otherwise. Not only has PETA lied to the public, but they have proved that they support this kind of behavior.”
A furious Khloe said she would continue not to wear fur, but added that she could no longer support the organization for whom she famously stripped down for in 2008, as part of their "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.
"Bullying and harassment is NEVER a solution and I won’t be a part of any organization that thinks otherwise," she wrote.
The Khloe & Lamar star added:
"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. Go Kimmie!"

"The videos are so graphic but they are so necessary for people to watch," she said, in an interview posted on the group's website. "I'm so grateful that I did get the opportunity to see them. I had no idea that's how these animals are treated."
In a surprising move, PETA told Celebuzz on Monday that it was prepared to pay the legal fees of the mystery woman who flour bombed Kim, 31, if the E! reality star decided to press criminal charges.
Though the animal rights group denied being involved in the March 22 attack, a PETA spokesperson told us:
"We don't believe Kim would be so shortsighted as to go after this woman, but if she does, we'll definitely look at how to maximize exposure to the cruel fur industry, and that could mean defending the activist if she wishes."Kim was covered in white powder after the red carpet attack at The London Hotel in West Hollywood, Calif. -- an event to promote her new fragrance, True Reflection. See how it all went down in this video:
If you knew anything about the Kardashians you'd know that Khloe is very self-conscious about her body. She did it to protest animal abuse. That in NO way means that she wants to promote human abuse or bullying.
haha i wish to be there on the golf thing..ryan stiles has been my iitairpsnon to be able to do anything you can if you just go for it ..i wish to be there but i prob cant go .he can make any scene funny nomatter where it is or what it is .hope to be there ryan
Wtf is wrong with you people? Don't you guys have a life to live? Jeez leave the girl and her family alone! You talking about her is not gonna do anything she's just getting more and more known and GOOD for you Kim keep shining and looking gorgeous as usually! Love you;)
At least they fight for what they believe, when have most of you ever done anything like that?
Yes it does- now we can clearly see why she even enjoyed PETA- for more fame and to show off her body (and that is the part which I totally don't understand). Instead of telling Kim the truth and speak to her mind she takes revenege od PETA. Screw Kardashians.
When will PETA get it through their heads that their aggressive tactics are counterproductive? People push back when pushed. Far better to educate people & have them come to the conclusion that wearing fur isn't cool. Violence only makes people dislike PETA & by extension, resist their cause. PETA--ask yourself--what would Gandhi do? PEACE.
You're an idiot.
No, she is not. Signing up for PETA she didn't understand that it meant bullying. Even so, she didn't realize it meant bullying her siblings. This happening to her sister opened her eyes, that does NOT make her a hypocrite.
So bullying is acceptable to you? I don't care if bullying is happen to a child or an adult it's still wrong. It's worse when we are adults because adults should all know better. She seems to be smarter then you because she understands that bullying is not the way. Maybe YOU are the one that should learn a lesson from her.
Right? I was a vegetarian for two and a half years and never once did I support PETA.
Who are you to say what someone should or should not wear? She didn't do anything illegal. She didn't hurt another human being in any way, she did not deserve this. Everyone has a right to an opinion. You don't believe it's right to wear fur don't wear it. Does she force you to wear fur because she thinks it's okay? No. Does she flour bomb people who disagree with what she says? No. So why is it okay for you people to do it to her? Hypocrites is what you all are.
I agree with you, Jasmine. But it definitely could've been done at a better moment. She was not only there for her fragrance, but for Dress For Success. She was doing a charity event and got dosed in flour for it.
Perhaps this is the set up for the next season of Khloe & Lamar. (I spell Khloe without that pretentious little accent mark because I can.) The PETA lawsuit!!!! Oh PLEASE!!!
Greetings from Argentina, Everybody knows that PETA it is very extremist like throwing red paint on people, so I think that Khloe K is making a major drama over an minor incident. It is flour, and it is a pacefull way to protest against people who wear fur. And, like I said before, WE ALL KNOW WHAT PETA DOES FOR PEOPLE UNDERSTAND TO NOT WEAR FUR !!! So Khloe K, you already knew and you´re being hipocrit.-
Why this family don't quit the tv ????nobody can't deal with the family bullshi.....anymore.
Don' sh*t your pants. You act like Kim was almost killed and make a lot of drama around the whole situation. Who cares about her destroyed clothes or hair? She got what she deserved, maybe she will get her lesson (though, she's dumb as hell so I don't really think so). National drama about nothing- Americans O.o
This is completely bulshit. I really want to know what would PETA members do If some girl threw something on them. Would they smile and thank? For me no one can touch me nor do anything to me without my permission that is always my right no matter what I do, where I do, how famous I am I am human and PETA is just stupid, animals are dying while they are sitting on their asses and thinking about how Kim Kardashian knows her rights. If there wasn't an law breaking act why in the earth police would be there? They're not stupid but you are PETA.
Why are people still talking about this?
PETA make things worse, not better. And they try to prove their own point by hurting animals too!! They're hypocrits and disgusting people.
Im not saying its right to wear fur but i do love me some steak and ribs. I would be upset if a vegetarian flour bombed me. They dont have a right to tell me what i can and cannot eat. What if that vegetarian's purpose was to show the world to stop killing animals to go into our stomach's? My only problem w/the flour bomber is that you shouldn't hate ppl just because they don't listen to you. If every body was like her, then this world would be in war everyday. Make peace ppl, not war. Violence does not get you anywhere. If you wanna be heard, do the right thing. Not bullying!!
Bullying and Harassment is never a solution...........neither is your sister wearing skin that has been stripped from animals - some while still alive! If she did not wear animal flesh, she would not have been flour bombed - its all cause and effect.........
The flour bombing needs to stop just because someone doesnt agree with not wearing fur. I believe it's an act of violence. Kim didnt know she was gonna be flour bombed, just like someone who doesnt know they're gonna get their ass kicked. It's bullying. It's an act of violence. Just like punching someone in the face and they didn't know they were gonna get punched. Just because kim doesnt stop wearing fur doesnt mean someone has the right to throw flour in her face. Just because someone doesnt agree with you means you have the right to act in violence. Try to make peace not war ppl...
SHE IS NOT A MEMBER OF PITA, YOU PITA!! (pain.in.the.ass.) GET YER FACTS STRAIGHT DUMBASS!!!!!
TOO BAD THEY CAN;T BOMB HER WITH GOOD TASTE OR DISCRETION.
@kate She's one of the celeb bloggers who run their site from Celebuzz, along with the rest of her family! In my eyes, they're both in the wrong Kim for wearing the fur but PETA for doing this, it just shows how childish people can be.
if she posted it on her site, how did she give it to you "exclusively"?
I could really go for a slab of bacon right about now.
