AceShowbiz - Kylie Jenner has experienced both the highs and lows of living under public scrutiny. In a poignant moment captured in the June 20 episode of "The Kardashians", Kylie, 26, broke down in tears while discussing the relentless criticism she has faced over her appearance since she was just a teenager. Sitting alongside her older sister Kendall Jenner, Kylie admitted, "People have been talking about my looks since I was 13. It just gets exhausting."
The candid scene saw both sisters sharing an emotional moment, with Kendall also tearing up. In a confessional, Kylie further expressed, "I hear nasty things about myself all the time." Despite often appearing unfazed, she acknowledged, "I've never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me."
While discussing these criticisms, Kylie adamantly refuted accusations of extensive plastic surgery, revealing, "I always remember being the most confident kid in the room. I always loved myself - I still love myself - and one of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I was this insecure child and I got so much surgery to change my whole face, which is false, I've only gotten fillers."
Interestingly, Kylie also attributed some of her insecurities to her family. She recalled how seemingly innocuous comments about her ears left a lasting impact. "You don't realize how you guys always talked about my ears?" she questioned her sisters, to which Khloe Kardashian replied that her remarks were out of love.
However, Kylie explained, "I received it like everyone was making fun of my ears, calling them dopey. Like that f***ed me up." This led her to avoid wearing an updo for events for five years, until the birth of her daughter Stormi changed her perspective.
Despite the facade of confidence, the relentless speculation and criticism can weigh heavily. "Why is it okay in 2024 to talk about someone's looks so much?" Kylie questioned during her conversation with Kendall.
This sentiment is echoed across social media, where Kylie and her sisters often face harsh judgment. Criticism about their looks and speculated surgeries have become a recurrent theme in public discussions about the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
As Kylie continues to navigate her public and private life, her experiences shed light on the impact of negative scrutiny and serve as a reminder that even those who seem invincible are profoundly affected by harsh criticisms.
Episodes of "The Kardashians" are streaming on Hulu now.
