The Emotional Toll of Fame
During a particularly vulnerable moment on 'The Kardashians', Kylie Jenner shared her struggles with the relentless criticism she faces online. "It's just never going to change," Kylie lamented, revealing her efforts to appear less artificial by dissolving her lip fillers, only to be met with more negativity.
"I went on a journey the last year dissolving half my lip filler," Kylie, 26, shared during the episode, which was filmed in the fall of 2023. "I hate having this same conversation over and over and over again because it feels like a waste of my breath because I think, with me, it’s just never going to change. But it’s just been …"
At that point, she trailed off as she began crying and Kendall, 28, came over to give her a hug. "It’s just like, why do people think it’s OK to talk about me? Is this like therapy? You know when you’re in therapy and you start talking about something … I’ve never cried about this before but I guess it does affect me."
Kendall assured her sister that "it would affect anymore," and pointed out, "[Our family is] dehumanized. They don’t think there’s any rules with us, whereas if you talked the same way you talk about us about any other woman, people would come to their defense all day long."
The conversation took a tearful turn as Kylie expressed her frustration and hurt, questioning why people feel entitled to comment on her appearance so harshly.
Kendall Jenner, witnessing her sister's distress, offered words of comfort and solidarity. She highlighted the dehumanization their family often faces, emphasizing the double standards applied to them versus other women.

Kylie's insecurities were further exposed following her appearance at Paris Fashion Week, where she opted for minimal makeup. The negative reactions to a particular photo highlighted the impossible standards she's held to. Despite her confidence, Kylie confessed to being worn down by over a decade of scrutiny regarding her appearance, challenging the notion that public figures are fair game
Despite the moment of vulnerability, Kylie said she generally has thick skin when it comes to what the haters say. "I think that I’m really strong and I was put in this position for a reason," she concluded.
"I do think of myself as a confident person. I’m so grateful, so blessed, that I can wake up and look in the mirror and like what I see and feel beautiful. But at the same time, there’s only so much one person can take. I just always keep pushing. I can’t let the comments get me down. I have to because I have s--t to do!" for criticism.
