Rob Kardashian has been quiet for the past few years. He was once the favorite in Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Now, he comes out on the show only quite a handful of times.
Rob's sister, Kim Kardashian West posted old photos to greet him on his birthday, but fans were not happy with the way they try to cover up how Rob looks now. They felt as if Kim was doing that on purpose.
Rob Kardashian Lost the Spotlight
When the show started, Rob was one of the most important casts. Since he is the only thorn among the roses, he became the heartthrob of their show KUWTK. His funny relationship with Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian's then-boyfriend, was making their hit on the show.
After some time, his career went downhill as he gained a lot of weight and was into a relationship with women who did not have a good reputation. Then he got engaged to Blac Chyna, causing a lot of stress to his family. From then on, he lost his spotlight from the show.
He is Still Close to His Sisters
Even if there was a bit of tension with his five sisters, Rob still stayed very close with them. Khloe Kardashian said last year that he was trying to bring back his old body to become a better version of himself. The sisters still keep sharing photos of him during his birthday and sometimes even posting on their social media. Rob was banned from Instagram for posting photos and videos inappropriately after he fought with his girlfriend Chyna.
Fans Were Not Thrilled with the Photos Posted
Kim Kardashian West greeted her brother Rob on his 33rd birthday by posting his 24-year-old photos on his trip to Las Vegas. She said that she can remember the trip as if it was just like yesterday and she also posted another photo of her without Rob in it.
KUWTK fans were not happy with the way Kim was trying to hide the way his brother looks now, and how she was trying to focus the post on herself.
One of the fans questioned why the sisters are not posting current photos of Rob and why do they keep posting photos of him when he was skinny. They said that they should celebrate him the way he is now. The fans would rather see his photo with his current state than having the old ones.
Kardashian West's Posts Meant no Harm
Even though their fans think that Kim Kardashian West is purposefully trying to hide how Rob looks right now, the photos that she posted were not meant to anger the fans. It seems that the five sisters are still very close with their only brother, and it could be that Rob does not want to be photographed these days. Kim could just be just like Khloe Kardashian who is happy with reminiscing the good old times that she's had with him when they were a bit younger. Their mom, Kris Jenner, also posted his current photos that the fans liked.
