In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan: Middle East, Khloe Kardashian said she finds it difficult to keep her self-esteem up when she is constantly subjected to negative comments.
“I’m the ugly sister. I’m the fat one. I’m the transvestite. I have had those mean things said about me at least twice a day for the last five years. It’s horrible, you know? But I can brush that stuff off. Kim and Kourtney have said to me, ‘If we were put under the same negative attention that you are, we couldn’t handle it.’
“If I want to wear a long flowing dress, someone will say I’m pregnant. I believe we’re not given any more than we can handle and most of the time I can handle it. But we all have fat days and if I’m having one of those days, those sorts of things make me feel down.”
When you’re a woman in the entertainment industry, it goes without saying that you can expect a lot of running commentary about the way you look. But if you also happen to have siblings in the industry, comparisons between which one of you is “hotter” than the other are also pretty inevitable.
