Khloe Kardashian is explaining why she went after Chloe Grace Moretz on Twitter.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 32, and the actress, 19, got into a bit of a Twitter war Sunday night after Moretz seemingly criticized Kim Kardashian for releasing the footage of Taylor Swift and Kanye West having a discussion about "Famous" prior to its release.

"Everyone in this industry needs to get their heads out of a hole and look around to realize what's ACTUALLY happening in the REAL world," Moretz wrote late Sunday. "Stop wasting your voice on something so petulant and unimportant."

Insulted for her older sister, Khloe responded to the teenage actress with two photos: one of Chloe looking off into the distance in a bikini and the other of a blond woman with her back turned to the camera being carried in the ocean on someone's back. In the latter shot, the woman's butt is exposed when the man carrying her accidentally pulls at her red bikini bottom. "Is this the a hole you're referring to @ChloeGMoretz ???" she tweeted. 

Chloe responded to the E! star by telling her she mistook her for someone else, and Ruby Rose also chimed in to defend theNeighbors 2 actress. "Yo Khloe I thought you were rad when I met you but this is awful and this is a 19 year old girl," Rose tweeted.

Now, Khloe wants everyone to know why she tweeted what she did. "I'm the last person to bully but have an animal instinct to protect and defend my family," she shared. "Refrain from commenting on my family and OUR business (and I will do the same). Now I hope everyone has a magical Monday! May peace be with you all."

Other stars, including Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Demi Lovato,Martha Hunt and more have made it clear whose side they are on in the escalating battle by either speaking out on social media or going the quiet route and subtly favoriting tweets and photos that skew in favor of Taylor or Kim.
