Sources claimed Khloe‘s momager Kris Jenner has been fielding offers about beauty and wellness projects in the wake of the scandal.
“Khloe has been deluged with offers from health and fitness brands and companies in the wake of this,” an insider told Page Six.
“The unretouched photo was met with some criticism about how the Kardashians manipulate their images, but mostly the reaction to Khloe herself was positive. And opening up how she has struggled with her body image her entire life resonates with a lot of women.”
A second source added: “There are a lot of people interested in starting conversations, some new [to Khloe] with different ideas of how to partner (whether it be equity, campaign, social) and others she has partnered with before.”

Since earlier this week, The Kardashians’ crisis management team has desperately attempted to completely remove the leaked snap of Khloe from the internet – even sending out “legal threats” to take down the bikini shot.
It is believed that the photo was taken by Khloe’s grandmother MJ and posted by an assistant due to a “miscommunication”.
Fans have slammed the E! star’s efforts to scrape the photo from the internet as she typically talks about body positivity and acceptance.
She clapped back at the backlash by sharing a topless video and saying that the scrutiny she’s under is “unbearable”.

The mother-of-one wrote in a lengthy statement: “Hey guys, this is me and my body unretouched and unfiltered.
“The photo that was posted this week is beautiful. But as someone who has struggled with body image her whole life.
“When someone takes a photo of you that isn’t flattering in bad lighting or doesn’t capture your body the way it is after working so hard to get it to this point.”

She went on: “And then shares it to the world – you should have every right to ask for it to not be shared – regardless of who you are.”
“I love a good filter, good lighting and an edit here and there. The same way I throw on some make-up, get my nails done or wear a pair of heels to present myself to the world the way I want to be seen and it’s exactly what I will continue to do unapologetically.”
She added: “My body, my image and how I choose to look and what I want to share is my choice. It’s not for anyone to decide or judge what is acceptable or not anymore.”

On Thursday evening, Khloe admitted she’s feeling “frustrated and angry” as she worked out in the gym.
The E! star showed off her toned stomach as she wore high-waisted black leggings and a matching sports bra.
She told her followers: “So this is my therapy and I don’t think that anyone works out better or stronger than someone that’s frustrated, angry, mad, determined.”
While filming her reflection in a large mirror, she concluded: “Let it all out in the gym and that’s what I’m about to do.”
