It’s not easy being one of the biggest reality television stars in the world, nor a princess married to the future King of England. But Kim Kardashian says that when she was pregnant with her daughter North West back in 2013, she was left in tears by the way that tabloid media compared her pregnant body to that of another high-profiled mother-to-be at the time: Kate Middleton. Here’s what she has to say.
As many fans remember Kim was expecting her first child with Kanye West during the same month that Prince William and Kate Middleton were also expecting their first child as well. Kim gave birth to North in June of 2013 while Kate gave birth a month later in July. And according to the reality television star, Kim was left in tears each time she was compared to the Duchess of Cambridge.
Kim Kardashian Said She Was Left In Tears After Being Compared To Kate Middleton
Speaking to the We are Supported By podcast with hosts Kristen Bell and Monica Padman, Kim said she was “brutalized” by the press.
She said, “It was really, really crazy. They would always compare me to Kate Middleton so it would say, ‘Kate the waif and Kim the whale, the waif versus the whale.’ It was so nasty. I don’t think that would really fly today, but it killed my self-esteem. I really can’t believe that this was acceptable and that this was OK. But I would sit at home and cry all the time.”
Kim said she was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia while pregnant, leading to swelling in her feet and face. During her interview, the mother-of-four also opened up about how Kanye helped her be less of a “people pleaser.”
She said, “I got to a point – and maybe being in a relationship with Kanye for a decade, someone that absolutely didn’t care about likeability factor or what any perception of him was as long as he was true to himself – that taught me so much in the best way of just being me and living in the moment.”
Kim added, “As long as I’m myself and as long as I’m doing it the way that I want to do, you have one life and you’re living it for you. That taught me to just be more confident in myself and truly not care as much of what other people thought.”
