Kim Kardashian; “Body Shaming Killed my Self Esteem”

American reality tv star, entrepreneur and social media personality, Kim Kardashian, is speaking candidly about body shaming.

Kardashian made an appearance on Kristen Bell and Monica Padman’s podcast We Are Supported By.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star opened up about the heavy criticism she faced during her first pregnancy with her daughter, North West.

“I was not a cute pregnant person.” Kardashian explained. “I hated how I felt and how I looked.”

She continued, saying the media “brutalized” her during pregnancy

“I was so used to seeing my mom pregnant, my sister pregnant and everyone looking so cute and having these easy deliveries, life was great but they snapped right back. That wasn’t me.”

“It was really, really crazy,” Kardashian added.

“I don’t think it would really fly today, but it killed my self-esteem. I can’t believe that this was acceptable and that this was okay.”

Kardashian also recently opened up about her ex-husband’s – Kanye West – contribution to her confidence.

She said,

“I got to a point — and maybe [it was] being in a relationship with Kanye for a decade, someone that absolutely didn’t care about likeability factor or what any of perception of him was as long as he was true to himself — that taught me so much in the best way of just being me and living in the moment.”

In February 2021, the Keeping up with the Kardashians star filed for divorce from her rapper husband.

The two have worked hard to coparent their children.
