Let everyone else bicker and throw their words around and then you come in with the quiet voice and that will be the most impactful.”

Khloe was later forced to deny she was a “bully” after receiving criticism for tweeting an image of girl, with part of her body exposed, who she wrongly claimed was Moretz.
