“I hear nasty things about myself all the time”— Kylie Jenner breaks down in tears over negative public scrutiny about her looks

TV personality Kylie Jenner recently broke down in tears over negative comments about her looks. In a recent episode of The Kardashians titled Baby Rocky, which aired on Thursday, June 20, 2024, Kylie discussed coming from a famous family and public scrutiny with her sister Kendall Kenner.

In the episode, Kendall questioned how Kylie was doing. The latter brought up a viral picture of hers taken in Paris, where she wasn't wearing much make-up, and "weird light" highlighted the laugh lines on her face.

"It's a miracle that I still have confidence and I could still look in the mirror and think that I'm pretty," she said.

The scene then shifted to her confessional, where she revealed:

"I just hear nasty things about myself all the time."

She added it was not this particular incident and, "I think after 10 plus years of hearing about this, it just gets exhausting."

The 26-year-old reality TV star was thrust into fame at the early age of 10 after the success of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Over the years, she has received a lot of negative criticism about her appearance, especially her cosmetic procedures.

"People have been talking about my looks since I was 12, 13" — Kylie Jenner on how their family is "dehumanized" by the media and public

Discussing the criticism with Kendall, the 26-year-old cosmetics entrepreneur said she is "so numb" to people's opinions. She questioned why people online think it is okay to comment on her looks. To this, Kendall responded:

"I think a general thing with out family. We're dehumanized. They don't think that there's any rules with us. Whereas 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, they don't think we have any feelings."

Kylie Jenner then explained that she's been on a "journey," dissolving half of her "lip filler," adding that her looks continue to be scrutinized. She finally broke down in tears, prompting Kendall, also in tears, to hug her.

At one point, she directly addressed comments about her cosmetic procedures and said:

"I'm like, even if I did get so much surgery, and I got all these things, I still don't think it's OK to talk about someone's look... People have been talking about my looks since I was 12, 13, before I even got lip filler, people talked about my looks. And it's just so hurtful."

Kendall, 28, agreed with Kylie Jenner's opinion about not talking about someone's appearance. Empathizing with her sister, she added that there is no changing the minds of their critics and said that they have to "grow tough skin on." Kylie asserted that she is "really strong," but she's also "human," and "there's only so much one person can take."
