Khloe Kardashian feels like "such an idiot" after admitting her fear of whales.
Khloe Kardashian had to log off X after fans flooded her with whale memes
The 39-year-old reality star admitted during the season four premiere of 'The Kardashians' that she had always been scared of the marine mammals and took to social media in the hours after the news went viral to speak out about her phobia of the ocean.
She wrote on X - formerly known as Twitter - on Friday (29.09.23): "This has been a phobia of mine for years. I don’t want anything bad to happen to whales and I know the phobia is totally irrational, but we don’t pick our phobias. I low-key have a fear of the ocean, but a whale I can’t even look at, it freaks me out so much. Oh my God, is that relatable? I hope so because I feel like such an idiot, admitting that it freaks me the f*** out. They are ginormous, and we discover new species all the time. Over 80% of our oceans are unchartered. That’s f***ing bananas! We don’t even know what’s in there."
The Good American founder went on to add that she "never" wants to take a dip in the ocean but ended up begging her millions of followers to stop sending her whale memes because she was feeling uncomfortable as fans reacted to her confession.
She added: "They are ginormous, and we discover new species all the time. Over 80% of our oceans are unchartered. That’s f***ing bananas! We don’t even know what’s in there. Can you guys please stop sending me whale tweets. I’m going to log off. It’s too much lol I’m really getting uncomfortable."
During the latest episode of her family's reality show, Khloe had paid a visit to the beach with her sister Kim, 42, and Kourtney, 44, but upon learning from vacation homeowners that the creatures could come to the shore, she admitted to "freaking out" as her sisters tried to calm her down.
She said: "I’m really freaking out, he said they come close to the shore? Oh my God, I feel like I’m gonna cry. Why is this whale season? Like, what are they doing? Mating?. And why do they come to the shore? That is way too close [for] my comfort.”
