While she wasn’t exactly a child star, Kylie Jenner‘s life has been in the spotlight since her pre-teen years. And, much like child stars who started as early as her, her life has been filled with criticisms at every step.
Most recently, haters have gone after her looks, especially her use of plastic surgery. Talking to her sister Kendall Jenner in the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kylie admitted that internet trolls have been affecting her more than she’d like to admit.
“It’s a miracle that I still have confidence, and I [can] still look in the mirror and think that I’m pretty,” the mom of two told Kendall, per E! News.
Kylie then explained that her journey with plastic surgery and fillers has been up and down over the years, perhaps because of all the public attention. “I went on a journey last year dissolving half my lip filler,” Kylie said. “Why do people think it’s OK to talk about me?”
Getting emotional about it with her sister, Kylie even surprised herself. “I’ve never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me,” she said.
Kylie also addressed the claims that she filled “f– up her face” and made her look older than her age, 26. “Even if I did get so much surgery, I still don’t think it’s OK to talk about someone’s looks,” Kylie added.
“Before I even got lip filler, people talked about my looks,” she remembered. “It’s so hurtful.”
Luckily, Kendall, who was only 11 when Keeping Up With the Kardashians began, wholeheartedly related to her feelings. “No matter how much we talk about it, everyone’s going to think I’ve had a full facial reconstruction and so have you,” the supermodel said. “Sadly, it’s something we just really have to grow a tough skin on.”
“I hear nasty things about myself all the time,” she said in a confessional. “After 10-plus years of hearing about it, it just gets exhausting.”
So while we can’t even begin to understand how exhausting and demoralizing these comments might be, we’re glad they have each other throughout it all.
