In a series of IG stories, the TV star also opened up about the ‘traumatizing’ pressures of being in the public eye. “So I finally watched the Britney Spears documentary this week and it made me feel a lot of empathy for her,” Kim wrote. “The way the media played a big role in her life the way it did can be very traumatizing and it can really break even the strongest person. She added: “No matter how public someone’s life may seem, no one deserves to be treated with such cruelty or judgment for entertainment. “Looking back at my own experiences, I remember a time when I felt this way.”
Kim then recalled the time when she was pregnant with her first daughter North. “When I was pregnant with North I was suffering from preeclampsia, which made me swell uncontrollably. I gained 60 lbs and delivers almost 6 weeks early and I cried every single day over what was happening to my body mainly from the pressures of being constantly compared to what society considered a healthy pregnant person should look like – as well as being compared to Shamu the Whale by the media.”
“I was shamed on a weekly basis with cover stories that made my insecurities so painful I couldn’t leave the house for months after. It really broke me. She went on: “Luckily I was able to take these frustrating, embarrassing feelings and channel it into motivation to get me where I am today, but to say this didn’t take a toll on me mentally would be a lie.
Before concluding she said,
“I’m sharing this just to say I really hope everyone involved in the business of shaming and bullying someone to the point of breaking them down might reconsider and instead try to show some understand and compassion.
“You just never fully know what someone is going through behind the scenes and I’ve learned through my own experiences that it’s always better to lead with kindness,” Kim concluded.
