Kylie Jenner has expressed frustration at gaining "quarantine pounds" on her Instagram Stories.
The beauty mogul took to the photo-sharing platform to share a throwback video of her in a bikini, showcasing her toned physique. The video was dated from the 11th of January 2020 - before the coronavirus lockdown.

This comes after Forbes alleged that Kylie Jenner is not a billionaire, and accused the Kardashian-Jenner's of weaving a "web of lies", wherein the 22-year-old beauty mogul has continually inflated the size of her business and success, "for years".
The publication's claims come a year after Forbes put Jenner on their cover, and hailed her as the youngest self-made billionaire, for two years running. Now, they say that she has lied about company figures and forged tax returns to reach the prized billionaire milestone.

Reporters, Chase Peterson-Withorn and Madeline Berg, describe how Jenner sold half of her cosmetics company in what they say was "one of the greatest celebrity cash outs of all time".
"But in the deal’s fine print, a less flattering truth emerged," they continue, stating that filings released by publicly traded Coty over the last six months reveal that Jenner's business is "significantly smaller, and less profitable, than the family has spent years leading the cosmetics industry and media outlets, including Forbes, to believe."
Forbes then goes onto explain that while "white lies, omissions and outright fabrications are to be expected from the family that perfected—then monetized—the concept of “famous for being famous", their recent uncoverings "reveals just how desperate some of the ultra-rich are to look even richer."
This, and the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic, which has affected beauty stocks and consumer spending, leads the publication to believe that Jenner is not a billionaire, even after pocketing a reported $340 million after-tax from the Coty sale.
The reporters continue, "More likely: The business was never that big to begin with, and the Jenners have lied about it every year since 2016—including having their accountant draft tax returns with false numbers—to help juice Forbes’ estimates of Kylie’s earnings and net worth. While we can’t prove that those documents were fake (though it’s likely), it’s clear that Kylie’s camp has been lying."
