Kylie Jennerthe makeup mogul and reality star, moved viewers on a recent episode of The Kardashians as she opens up about her struggle with insecurity and the impact of public scrutiny on her self-esteem.
The conversation arose following her appearance at Paris Fashion Week 2023, where Kylie opted for a more natural look, wearing less makeup than usual. Her decision sparked a wave of negative comments when unflattering photographs began to circulate on social media.
Derogatory comments, which accumulated thousands of “likes,” called her “old.” Some even opined that she looked 47 years old and that Botox and her various fillers had “ruined her face.” “It’s a miracle that I still have confidence and can look in the mirror and still think I’m pretty.”, he confessed.
Kylie, who is now dating the Hollywood star, Timothée Chalamethas spent years denying the use of fillers or fillers facials. In a 2023 interview with The Wall Street Journalthe model declared that she had never “retouched her face.”
In the recent chapter, she explained that certain features of her face, such as the lines on her cheeks, have been present since her childhood and are not the result of plastic surgery: “You can look at photos of me since I was 13 years old. “I have these lines, but I’ve had them since I was a little girl.”
During the conversation, the Kylie Cosmetics creator revealed that she underwent a long process to dissolve the fillers in her lips, but was skeptical that her decision could stop online harassment.
“I hate even having this conversation over and over and over again, because I feel like it’s a waste of energy because I think that [mi situación] it will never change. Why do people think it’s okay to talk about me?” she said and immediately burst into tears.
For its part, Kendall Jenner He consoled his sister during the conversation, and assured that the barrage of criticism has its genesis in the “dehumanization” that his family faces from the media. “They think there are no rules [cuando se trata] of us. While, If they spoke the same way to any other woman, people would come to their defense all day long.”he added.
Kylie concluded that the most “hurtful” thing is being described as “old,” even though she is only 26 years old. And even when some fan of hers tries to protect her, the vast majority of her blames her because “she did it to herself.” “Her face has been ruined. She has had a lot of surgery.”
Despite the difficulties and intense scrutiny, Kylie said she feels “really strong” and believes that her public visibility has a purpose: “I consider myself a self-confident person. I am so grateful, so blessed to be able to wake up and look in the mirror and like what I see and think that I am beautiful.. But I am also human and there is a limit to what someone can endure,” she expressed.
It should be noted that both Kylie and her Kardashian-Jenner family are constantly criticized for promoting unrealistic and unattainable beauty standards, especially among teenagers. Despite the evidence, public figures have repeatedly denied having undergone cosmetic procedures or touch-ups, creating distorted images of natural beauty.
It wasn’t until 2015, after months of intense Internet speculation, that Kylie admitted to having received injections to increase the volume of her lips, confessing that having thin lips was an “insecurity” of hers.
The next episode of the fifth season of The Kardashians It will be available on June 27 on the Star+ and Disney+ platform.
