Khloé Kardashian has faced backlash online after making claims about her tidiness and having OCD.
The reality TV star and mum-of-two recently posted a video to TikTok taking part in a social media trend where people share lists of the potentially controversial things they love about themselves.
In the video, which has been viewed 3.7 million times, Khloé wrote, 'ungodly amounts of flowers,' as well as 'coffee on an empty stomach,' 'Starbucks extra hot venti chai latte, 7 pumps, no water' and 'psychotic breaks just to feel fine two mins later'.
She also added that she 'unfortunately loves' having OCD and captioned the clip which shows the 41-year-old flicking her hair and spraying perfume: "I could keep going lol."

But people aren't impressed, slamming the star over her claims.
According to the NHS, OCD, or obsessive compulsive disorder, is a mental health condition characterised by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) that a person feels driven to perform.
The condition can be incredibly distressing for those who suffer from it and can significantly interfere with their lives. It can be treated with therapy and medication.
Therapist and OCD expert Alegra Kastens has since shared Khloé's video on Instagram alongside the caption: "You love OCD, Khloé? My OCD made me worry I was a sexual deviant."
And others were quick to jump into the comment section to rant about the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star seemingly trivialising the often debilitating disorder.
One user wrote: "She continuously shares misinformation on OCD," while another commented: "Anyone who loves their OCD does not have OCD. Period."
Others talked about their own, sometimes terrifying, experiences with the condition.
One bravely shared: "My OCD nearly killed me 4 years ago. I didn’t realise I had it until I had my first pregnancy - my daughter saved me because I wasn’t taking her down with me."
And a second penned: "Mine made me worry I was going to intentionally or unintentionally hurt my husband and children. Ugh. I hate seeing things like this."
This isn't the first time Khloé has publicly spoken out about OCD.
In one episode of The Kardashians, her mum, Kris Jenner urged her to visit an OCD specialist for 'exposure therapy.'
During the episode, Khloé said: "To me, my OCD is a pro rather than a con. Once everything is organised, I feel really good. If someone says I’m crazy, meticulous, clean, neurotic… Thank you."
Tyla has contacted Khloé Kardashian's representatives for a comment.
