   Khloe Kardashian dismisses Amy Schumer's criticism on the Kardashians, herself in SNL opening monolog

Amy Schumer made her debut as host of Saturday Night Live on NBC this past weekend, and her opening monolog also included a mention of the Kardashians as negative role models for today’s girls. Khloe Kardashian is not happy about that.

You can see Amy’s monolog in the video below, with the Kardashians mention coming at the beginning. Khloe’s response on Twitter is included right under it.

Khloe won’t stand for hateful comments

Speaking of how this was “a good time for women in Hollywood,” Amy said in her SNL monolog that showbiz was lacking good female role models, since girls only had the Kardashians to look up to and try to emulate.

She ripped into them for their obvious love of plastic surgery (“the faces they were born with are just a light suggestion,” she said) and then moved on to say that Khloe was the “normal” one until recently, when she suddenly decided to lose half her body weight.

Khloe was the “normal” one because, until she started working on her figure, she was deemed the “fat” one of the bunch and she didn’t seem as obsessed with her looks as her sisters.

Obviously, Khloe isn’t happy about being made into a negative example, especially since her weight loss is her bread and butter right now: with the launch of her own blog and app, she’s turning her exercise routine into a cash cow.

“No need 2 tear down others just 2 make urself feel bigger,” she wrote on Twitter in response, though without naming Amy. “It actually makes u quite small. I'm on a healthy journey. I don't care 4the hate.”

As you can see, she didn’t even address Amy’s claim that they’re all getting too much plastic surgery.

Khloe Kardashian basks in the attention

Whether she’s on a healthy journey or she’s only doing it for attention, it’s clear that Khloe’s profile received a considerable boost since she started losing weight.

She’s landed the cover of several major publications and she’s gotten more people interested in her workout and diet routine, which she then used on her app and blog. Prior to that, she did countless interviews in the press on the topic.

Khloe Kardashian trains with Gunnar Peterson and started more intense workouts after her marriage to Lamar Odom fell apart. She says boxing helped her de-stress.
