Ahead of the Kardashians' new reality series, which debuts on Hulu next month, Khloe Kardashian has opened up about life in the public eye, revealing that it's been "really hurtful" constantly being compared to her sisters: Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
Speaking to Variety, the 37-year-old TV personality recalled how she's often received the harshest criticism of her appearance, in comparison to her siblings. "It definitely is tough," she responded, when asked about how she's been treated by the tabloids. "None of us get it — my sisters will talk about it, like, 'Why are they so much more vicious towards you?'"
She went on, "We don’t have an explanation for that. None of us really understand."
In particular, the mum-of-one admitted that comments comparing her to her sisters have been the most hurtful. "When I was younger, always being compared to my sisters in a way where I can’t be related to them because we look different. It was always emphasised that they were so much prettier," she said. "And that’s just really poor taste. Those things were definitely really hurtful, just to always be compared to them, especially in the fashion or beauty world comparing our bodies or faces."
As for how she's handled this, Khloe pointed out it's been a bit of a journey, revealing she tries her best to block out what people are saying about her, although it's not always easy. "The more it happens, the more you become numb to it, but that doesn’t mean you’re completely immune to it," she told the magazine. "Sometimes I’ll hear or see something and you just feel the weight of the world, and you tend to have a pretty bad day – but it’s a day; not a life."
Thankfully, the Good American businesswoman says having a supportive family around is a big help. "Nobody really understands the pressure of what it feels like to be spoken about so negatively on a daily basis. It’s really easy for someone that’s not in that position to say, 'Oh, just get over it'," she said. "I'm so grateful that I have my family because they get it and they’re my support system."
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star continued: "You move on and you remind yourself how many great things are in your life and all these blessings. The good definitely outweighs the bad. You’ve just got to roll with it. But you always have to check in with yourself and say that you know who you are and you’re a good person... you have to remind yourself about all the good, because the negative can consume you. And that’s not the reality."
We ❤️ you Khloe!
