Kylie Jenner Shed Tears Addressing the Impact of Relentless Online Criticism on Her Self-Esteem

In a vulnerable moment on The Kardashians, Kylie Jenner broke down in tears while discussing the constant barrage of “nasty” online comments about her appearance. The 25-year-old reality star and beauty mogul opened up to her sister Kendall about the toll these comments have taken on her confidence and sense of self.

“It’s like a miracle that I still have confidence and I can still look in the mirror and think that I’m pretty,” Kylie confessed, explaining that she had decided to wear less makeup than usual to the show. Despite toning down her look, Kylie still faced criticism, with trolls saying that some photos made her look “old.”

Kylie, who has been in the public eye since the age of 13, expressed her frustration and exhaustion with the relentless scrutiny. “I hear nasty things about myself all the time,” she said in a confessional. “I don’t think it’s this particular headline that makes me feel vulnerable or hits me harder. I think it’s just after 10+ years, it just gets exhausting.”

Kendall empathized with her sister, noting that their family is often dehumanized and that trolls believe there are no rules when it comes to commenting on their appearances. “For some reason for us, they don’t think we have any feelings,” Kendall added.

Kylie revealed that despite dissolving half her lip filler over the last year, she feels like she’s having the same conversations on repeat. “It feels like a waste of my breath, because I think with me, it’s never gonna change,” she said, breaking down in tears. “Why do people think it’s okay to talk about me?”

The emotional moment highlighted the impact of the constant criticism on Kylie’s mental well-being. “I’ve never cried about this before but I guess it does affect me,” she admitted, acknowledging that while some fans defend her, their defense is often met with further criticism.

Kendall reassured her sister, telling her that she’s “never looked younger and you’ve never looked better.” However, she also recognized that they likely won’t be able to change anyone’s opinions and will “sadly” have to develop a thick skin to deal with the negativity.

In a confessional, Kylie displayed a newfound resolve, stating that she “cannot let the comments get me down” and vowing to “rise above” because she has “s–t to do.”

The heartfelt conversation between the Jenner sisters sheds light on the immense pressure and scrutiny that public figures, especially young women, face in the digital age. It serves as a reminder that behind the glamorous facade, celebrities are human beings with feelings and vulnerabilities, and that the impact of online criticism can be deeply hurtful and long-lasting.
