Khloé Kardashian needed reconstructive surgery on her knees in her teens after a car accident.
The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star has recalled how the terrible accident that she was in when she was a young girl has affected her physically.
Writing on her official website, she shared: “Whenever I post a picture of my legs on Instagram, everyone comments on how f***ed up my knees look. It’s because I’ve had reconstructive surgery, you a**holes! My right leg is an inch and a half thinner than my left because my muscles deteriorated and never recovered. The reason I’ve had so many of these surgeries – and always wear a knee brace for my workouts – is because I was in a car accident when I was 16 …
“I was was wearing my seatbelt but the strap was under my armpit. I was in a small Mercedes and it compacted in the wreck. My head and upper body went through the windshield and my legs were stuck under the steering wheel … I had knee surgery the day of my accident and a couple more after that. Lord, help me! So next time you see me in a knee brace, you know why! (sic)”
