Khloe Kardashian gave Kim permission to post fake Disney photo of True before letting the truth slip
Khloé Kardashian delved into her embarrassing fib about her daughter True Thompson’s fake visit to Disney during an appearance Tuesday on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.
Khloé, 37, admitted to the host Amanda Hirsch that she gave her sister Kim Kardashian, 41, permission to photoshop her four-year-old daughter’s head over an image of Kylie Jenner‘s daughter Stormi.
‘I f**ked up the lie,’ she said, referencing when she accidentally spilled the beans on social media.

‘I forgot we did this,’ Khloé added, before clarifying that Kim wasn’t upset at the mistake.
She explained that the fake visit to Disneyland came about because she wasn’t ready to take her daughter to Disneyland, just as Kim was desperate to fill up her Instagram grid.
‘When it happened, [Kim] sent me a photo of True and Chi. And I was like, “So cute!”‘ she recounted.
But Khloé said she was multitasking, so she didn’t initially realize the photo was supposed to have been taken at Disneyland.
Whoops! ‘I f**ked up the lie,’ she said, adding that she ‘forgot.’ Kim sent her the photoshopped image and she just thought it was ‘cute,’ without realizing her daughter had never been to Disneyland
Fooled: ‘I was like, “Who would not tell me my kid went to Disneyland?” No one asked me for permission, nothing. And [Kim] was like, “Oh, you believed it?”‘
‘The I looked back, and I was like, “Wait, is she wearing Minnie Mouse ears?”‘ I was go, “You took her to Disneyland?” Because I would not let her go until I was taking her, and I was waiting for her fourth birthday, because I was not taking her in the thick of Covid,’ Khloé said.
‘I was like, “Who would not tell me my kid went to Disneyland?” No one asked me for permission, nothing. And she was like, “Oh, you believed it?”‘ the Good American founder recounted, perfectly mimicking Kim’s girlish voice.
‘I just — I wasn’t thinking. I would not think that someone would photoshop, so I’m like, “What’s happening?!”‘
Khloé said that Kim told she just ‘needed’ the photoshopped image for her ‘grid.’
Without thinking further, she gave her older sister permission to post it.
‘I didn’t care. I thought she looked so cute, I was like, “She looks great,’ she added.

Caught red handed: Fans caught Khloé in the fib when she posted from the actual first time that True went to Disneyland, which she owned up to in April
The photoshopped images showed what appeared to be True in a gray hoodie standing net to Kim’s daughter Chicago, four, though eagle-eyed viewers noticed at True’s face was considerably clearer in the images that Chicago.
The conspiracy theory first went viral on TikTok, with fans speculating that Stormi had been removed due to the controversy over her father Travis Scott’s Astroworld festival, where 10 people died from being crushed in a crowd during his headlining set on November 5, 2021.
The tragedy occurred just a month before Kim posted the photos to Instagram, and Kylie largely kept her daughter out of the public eye afterward.
Other obsessive fans discovered that photos of True from July were used in the photoshop work, and that other images from Disneyland showed Stormi from behind, revealing that she had a different hairdo that True was seen wearing in the augmented pictures.

Khloé let the truth slip out in April, when she shared that her daughter True had gone to Disneyland for the first time, meaning she couldn’t possibly have been in the photos with Chicago.
‘Welllppp I f**ked this one up. Anyways….. let’s focus on something else (laughing crying emoji). Our show airs in a few days,’ the reality star tweeted after she was caught.
Later in April, Kim also fessed up about the deception, admitting that she replaced Stormi with True because Kylie wasn’t ‘really feeling posting at the moment.’
The group originally went to Disneyland in October, before the Astroworld deaths, but they weren’t posted until December.

‘The original pics were Stormi!’ Kim wrote while posting the original with her caption. ‘However I asked @kyliejenner if I could post them and she said [insert crying face] she wasn’t really feeling posting at the moment and so I respect that! But it wasn’t going to mess up my IG feed. Chi was wearing pink and it matched perfectly.’
She added: ‘It wasn’t the aesthetic I was going for and I can own up to that! You know how much a good aesthetic means to my soul and I will be dammed if Kylie will ruin that for me and mess up my IG grid. So thank you True for taking one for the team!’ [sic].
She concluded by adding, ‘I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal if her own mom questioned if I snuck her to a Disneyland for the first time’ [sic].
