Kylie Jenner got emotional in a recent episode of The Kardashians as she opened up about the cruel trolling she has faced over the years.
In a recent episode of the show, 26-year-old Kylie sat down with her sister Kendall Jenner for a candid conversation.
“It’s like a miracle that I still have confidence and I can still look in the mirror and think that I am pretty,” Kylie revealed to her sister.
Reflecting on her experience at Paris Fashion Week in September 2023, Kylie shared her decision to attend events with minimal makeup for the first time, which still drew criticism.
“I’m wearing too much makeup and it’s like, ‘You’re wearing too much makeup.’ Then I go and I don’t wear a lot of makeup and someone catches me in a weird light,” she explained.
Pointing to her cheeks, Kylie added: “You can look at pictures since I’m 13 — I just have these lines. But I’ve had them since I was like, a child.”
In a confessional, Kylie expressed her frustration beyond this specific instance.
“I just hear nasty things about myself all the time,” she shared with a producer, noting that after more than a decade in the spotlight, “it just gets exhausting.”
During their chat, Kendall addressed the issue of public comments about their family.
“We’re dehumanized. They don’t think that there’s any rules with us. Whereas like, if you talked the same way you do about us about any other woman, people would come to their defense all day long. But for some reason with us, it’s like they don’t think we have any feelings.”
Kylie agreed, noting that despite her attempts at a more natural look, the criticism persisted.
“I went on a journey last year dissolving half of my lip filler,” she admitted. “I hate even having this conversation over and over and over again. It feels like it’s a waste of my breath because I think, with me, it is never going to change.”
Overwhelmed, Kylie began to cry, saying: “I’ve never cried about this before but I guess it does affect me,” adding that the conversation felt therapeutic.
“And I’ll see some comments or someone will be like, ‘This is really mean’ and defend me. ‘Why are we talking about her looks? It’s 2024’ And then I’ll see other comments like, ‘Because she did it to herself. She f***ed up her face. She had so much surgery.’”
Despite the hurtful remarks, Kendall quickly reassured her sister. “I’m not even just saying this, you’ve never looked younger and you’ve never looked better.”
Acknowledging the assumptions about their family’s appearances, Kendall admitted: “I think it’s sadly — sadly — it’s something that we just have to like, really grow tough skin on.”
Kylie concluded by telling the cameras that while she remains “strong” and “confident,” she is still human and has her limits.
“I always keep it pushing,” she stated. “I have to. I cannot let the comments get me down. I have s**t to do. Rise above.”
