The reality star also opened up about the 'enormous rebuilding' going on at home.
Khloe Kardashian is shutting down reports of a “tense” dinner with Tristan Thompson -- and sporting a huge new diamond ring while she does so.
After the Daily Mail described Khloe as tired, distracted and lacking her “bright, bubbly personality,” in a video showing her out for dinner with Tristan on Sunday, she took to Twitter to call out the claims.
“You make up anything!!" the 33-year-old reality star wrote while linking to the article on Monday. “I actually had a great night. It was a large birthday dinner for friends and as a new mom IM TIRED AF!! Being out past 10pm is not where I’ll have the most energy these days.”
A fan then commented on how stunning Khloe, who welcomed daughter True in April, looked in the footage, to which she replied, “Thank you!!! Just was tired lol need to work on my tired smiling face.”
Contrary to the reports, an eyewitness tells ET that the couple were in great spirits while attending the dinner, for one of Tristan’s best friends. Sipping tequila ginger ales, they also made toasts to each other.
“They appeared in great spirits,” the onlooker tells ET. “Khloe even took pictures with a few restaurant-goers, and was smiling from ear to ear. They toasted to each other and the birthday boy, Simon, during two separate occasions throughout the night.”
The night out wasn't the only topic prompting the new mom to defend herself on social media.
One Twitter user questioned Khloe’s decision to stay with Tristan following his cheating scandal.
“I love, adore & root for @khloekardashian, but I’m so disappointed she stayed with that wasteman Tristan,” wrote the fan. “She preaches about women knowing their self worth and when to walk away, but when it’s time to walk the walk, she’s a hypocrite.”
“Not exactly Queen Persia, you have no knowledge of what goes on in our household or the enormous rebuilding this takes to even coexist,” Khloe responded. “I’m proud of my strength. I appreciate your opinion and I hope you hold that same opinion to everyone else who has stayed in situations.”
After the fan then assured Khloe she wasn’t trying to judge her and simply didn’t want “some lame breaking your heart again,” Khloe expressed her gratitude for the support.
“I love you for that and girl trust me don’t I understand!!!” Khloe wrote. “I appreciate you I do!!”
Regardless of how the two looked during their night out, there was one undeniably bright spark at the dinner -- an apparent new piece of bling on Khloe’s left ring finger.
The dazzler was clearly visible as the couple sat at their table at the BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood, California.
