Kylie Jenner Breaks Down in Tears Over Criticism About Her Appearance Since Age 13: 'It Does Affect Me'

Kylie Jenner has highs and lows when it comes to living a public life.

All the internet hate — and public hate — affects her just as much a anyone, and she had a real human moment in the preview for the June 20 episode of The Kardashians, which appeared at the end of the June 13 episode.

While sitting on a couch with older sister Kendall Jenner, Kylie, 26, broke down in tears while discussing how much hate she's gotten for her appearance over the years.

"People have been talking about my looks since I was 13. It just gets exhausting," she said through the tears.

Kendall, equally emotional, started to cry alongside her younger sister.

In a confessional, Kylie added, "I hear nasty things about myself all the time."

The scene then cut back to the sisters on the couch, where Kylie admitted, "Like, I’ve never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me."

On season 3 of the show, Kylie also addressed some of that "public chatter" that often surrounds her — but she very adamantly stated that she doesn't let it get to her (thus far in life, anyway). In fact, she went as far as saying that those accusing her of plastic surgery to change herself because of insecurities were wildly off-base.

“I always remember being the most confident kid in the room,” Kylie said at the time. “I always loved myself — I still love myself — and one of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I was this insecure child and I got so much surgery to change my whole face, which is false, I’ve only gotten fillers.”

Kylie pointed to her family, though, for the few insecurities she did have at the time, saying that they brought them out in her.

“You don’t realize how you guys always talked about my ears?” she asked her sisters in the July 2023 episode, to which Khloé Kardashian responded that she only ever commented on them because she loves them.

“But I didn’t receive it like that,” Kylie explained. “I received it like everyone was making fun of my ears, calling them dopey. Like that f----- me up.”

Kylie added that she “never thought about my ears” until she remembered her family’s jokes about them and began to be out in the public eye. For five years, she claimed she “never wore an updo” on a red carpet or to an event. But once she had her daughter Stormi and realized she had the same ears as her, her whole perspective changed.

Episodes of The Kardashians are streaming on Hulu now.
