Kylie Jenner recently revealed her emotional struggle with the harsh criticism she received after her appearance at January’s Paris Fashion Week. During this week’s episode of The Kardashians, Kylie confided in her sister Kendall about the negative comments on social media regarding her “old” appearance. Candid photos of the 26-year-old went viral, leading to a barrage of hurtful remarks from netizens.
In the latest season 5 episode, “Baby Rocky,” Kylie and Kendall discuss how public and media opinions have “dehumanized” their famous family. Kylie shared her ongoing battle with maintaining self-confidence amid relentless scrutiny. “It’s, like, a miracle that I can still have confidence and look in the mirror and think I’m pretty,” she said, expressing exhaustion from over a decade of criticism about her looks.
Kendall Consoles Kylie Amidst Criticism
Throughout the past year, Kylie has been on a self-discovery journey, including dissolving half of her lip filler. She broke down in tears while describing the impact of negative comments about her appearance. “I’ve never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me,” she admitted. Kendall, offering comfort, acknowledged the challenges of their family’s fame and the difficulty in winning over critics. “It’s sadly something we just have to, like, really grow tough skin on,” Kendall remarked.
Kylie also reflected on the hurtful comments she faced even before her lip filler days. “I look old, I see it under every post,” she lamented. Kendall empathized with her sister, recognizing the heavy toll that public scrutiny takes on their mental health.
Kylie Addresses Plastic Surgery Rumors
Kylie further addressed the persistent rumors about her undergoing extensive plastic surgery. While some people praise her appearance, others harshly criticize her based on assumptions about surgical enhancements. “I’m like, even if I did get so much surgery, and I got all these things, I still don’t think it’s OK to talk about someone’s looks,” she asserted.
In 2018, Kylie disclosed that she had “got rid” of her lip fillers, a decision influenced by her role as a mother to Stormi. A source told ET that becoming a mother made Kylie more conscious of her natural appearance and in love with her authentic self.
As the youngest Jenner continues to navigate her public life, she remains resilient despite the ongoing criticism. Her candid discussion with Kendall highlights the emotional toll of fame and the importance of empathy and support within their family.
