Kim Kardashian was recently featured in Life And Style magazine where she spoke candidly about her body.
L&S: Why does everyone attack your size?
Kim: I really don’t know. If there’s a picture that’s not perfect, where I have cellulite, then people say I’m big. I’m built a certain way, and you just can’t change the way you’re built. People attack my true size, but the reality is that I look bigger on TV [on her E! show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians]. In Hollywood, people are used to stick-skinny women, and that’s never going to be me. Growing up, I’d look at skinny models and feel like I looked different. But my parents always told us to be proud of who we are. When I was younger I was uncomfortable, but as I grew up, I grew into it.
L&S: People don’t believe you’re a size 2. Why not?
Kim: I don’t think people get how petite I am because I’m so curvy. I’m small and curvy. The No. 1 thing people ask when they meet me is, “Did you lose weight?”
L&S: What are your actual measurements?
Kim: I’m 35-26-40. My dress size is a 4 or a 2/4. I wear a size 4 skirt and size 27 jeans.
L&S: Do you ever feel violated by the comments on your body?
Kim: Sometimes I do. On the red carpet, the paparazzi scream for me to turn around because they just want butt shots. People feel so free to talk about my butt, and it’s not comfortable. Girls come up to me and grab my butt, or if I’m doing a TV interview, people ask on camera to squeeze my butt. It’s uncomfortable. I’m like, “Let’s move on. Everyone’s got a butt, why do you care about mine?”
L&S: Why are you so open about your body? You even had a cellulite treatment on your show.
Kim: I’m so tired of people pretending they’re perfect and covering up things when in reality we are who and what we are. You can try to improve that, but the reality is, nobody’s perfect.
L&S: How do you feel when people say you’ve inspired them?
Kim: I love it when people say I’ve inspired them to love their bodies and embrace who they are. It’s so satisfying to know my message is getting across.
