A candid photo of the reality star that was mistakenly shared on social media has once again revealed a hard truth about the way we comment on women's bodies.

Earlier this week, a candid photo of Khloe Kardashian in a leopard print bikini was mistakenly shared on social media.

Yet for the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" personality, the photo was unsuitable enough for her to claim it was copyright infringement because it was shared without her permission.

"When someone takes a photo of you that isn't flattering and then shares it to the world - you should have every right to ask for it to not be shared - regardless of who you are," Kardashian wrote in an Instagram post.

The great lengths Kardashian will go to maintain her carefully curated image and the great lengths the public will go to expose her are two symptoms of the same wider issue: how relentless and pervasive the policing of women's bodies really is.
