In a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” Kylie Jenner had an intimate conversation with her sister, Kendall, about the toll media scrutiny and online hate have taken on their family.
Kylie expressed how she feels their family is often “dehumanized” by the media and critics, who frequently comment on their appearances.
“If you talked the same way you do about us about any other woman, people would come to their defense all day long,” Kendall said. “But for some reason, with us, people don’t think we have any feelings.”
Kylie agreed, saying that it’s “a miracle that I can still have confidence, and look in the mirror and think I’m pretty,” adding, “After 10-plus years of hearing about [my looks], it just gets exhausting.”
She said, “I’ve never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me.”
“It’s just like, why do people think it’s OK to talk about me?”
During the conversation, Kylie and Kendall discussed the relentless pressure to meet public expectations and the emotional strain of being judged solely on their looks.
“People have been talking about my looks since I was 12, 13. Before I even got lip filler, people were talking about my looks,” Kylie said. “I look old, I see it under every post.”
“I think that I’m really strong, and I was put in this position for a reason. I do think of myself as a confident person. I’m also human and there’s only so much one person can take.”
Ultimately, Kylie said that she now loves what she sees when looking in the mirror.
