Kylie Jenner broke down in tears over comments about her appearance in a new episode of the reality show The Kardashians.
The media personality and beauty entrepreneur, 26, has faced public scrutiny about her facial features throughout the years, with notable commentary beginning in her late teens when she began getting lip filler.
Jenner attended Paris Fashion Week in January, where she was photographed while wearing minimal makeup. The images were widely circulated and commented upon online, with some dermatologists and cosmetic surgery experts making video content specifically discussing her face.
In Wednesdayâs edition (19 June) of the programme, the mother-of-two confided in her sister Kendall Jenner, 28, about how comments from internet trolls have impacted her.
âIâve never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me,â she told her sister Kendall Jenner through tears.
âItâs OK, it would affect anyone,â Kendall sympathised.
Kylie continued: âAnd then Iâll see some comments, and some people will be like, âThis is really mean,â and defend me. âWhy are we talking about her looks? Itâs 2024.â
âAnd then Iâll see other comments like: âBecause she did it to herself â she f***ed up her face, she had so much surgery.ââ
âEven if I did get âso much surgeryâ and all these things, I still donât think itâs OK to talk about someoneâs looks,â she continued.
âPeople have been talking about my looks since I was 12, 13 â before I even got lip filler, people were talking about my looks.â
She admitted that she found the discussions âso hurtfulâ, before recounting some examples of comments she sees. ââI look oldâ, I see it under every post.â
Comforting her sister, Kendall chimed in with: âIâm not even just saying this: youâve never looked younger, and youâve never looked better.â
Earlier in the series, Kylie revealed the status of her relationship with her former best friend Jordyn Woods.
Their friendship suffered significantly after Woods was photographed sitting on Tristan Thompsonâs lap in 2019, despite Thompson being in a relationship with Kylieâs older sister Khloe Kardashian at the time.
Speaking to Khloe during an episode, Kylie said: âI saw Jordyn again in Paris. It was fun. I think we have a lot more healthy distance in the relationship. Now itâs like, we talk once a month.â
For Jenner, the media attention around them added unnecessary strain on their relationship.
âI think what I do love now is that the narrative about us online is also over,â she added. âLike, when we were seen leaving that restaurant, it was the story for the day or two days, whatever â and now itâs over. People know that weâre cool and no oneâs talking about it any more.â
