Update: The comedian who was the subject of these indirect tweets may have tweeted an indirect response of her own. She tweeted out her comeback along with a picture of her niece:
Nothing but love for that family. I like idea of sending women the message to be happy in their own skin. #peace pic.twitter.com/95KJVdRY6i

This weekend, a certain comedian (not to name names, but it rhymes with Schmamy Schmumer) took to the SNL stage with an opening monologue that ribbed the Kardashian family for taking "the faces they were born with as a light suggestion."Khloé in particular received extra heat for her recent weight loss and newfound fitness obsession.
"We used to have Khloé. Khloé was ours, right?" said this comedian on national television. "But Khloé, she lost half her body weight. She lost a Kendall."
On Sunday, Khloé Kardashian tweeted this.
No need 2 tear down others just 2 make urself feel bigger. It actually makes u quite small. I'm on a healthy journey. I don't care 4the hate

Who could she be referring to? What do the words "bigger" and "small" mean in this context? Do words even have meaning on Twitter?
Khloé followed up with this:
Let's uplift one another!!! Happy Sunday! Stay smiling!!!

"Stay smiling!!!" said Khloé on Twitter, maybe to a professional comedian.
