Earlier this week, we saw Kim Kardashian rock the iconic Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress for the Met Gala. During the star-studded event, the reality star shared how she prepped for the Gala and what she had to do to even fit in the gown!
“I had to lose 16 pounds down today to be able to fit this,” Kim Kardashian told Vogue, adding: “I would wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and all carbs, and just eat the cleanest veggies and protein. I didn’t starve myself, but I was so strict.” While it was a major accomplishment to her, some people weren’t feeling her admission. Riverdale actress, Lili Reinhart, made a post directed at celebrities saying they’re “starving” themselves just because their “entire image revolves around their bodies.” She said, “To walk on a red carpet and do an interview where you say how starving you are … because you haven’t eaten carbs in the last month…all to fit in a f**king dress?” Reinhart wrote on Instagram. “So wrong. So f**ked on 100s of levels.” She added, “To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of the Met Gala. When you know very well that millions of young men and women are looking up to you and listening to your every word. The ignorance is other-worldly disgusting.” Before concluding, she said, “Please stop supporting these stupid, harmful celebrities whose entire image revolves around their bodies. I am not generally an angry person, but I swear to god, the toxicity of this industry sometimes really gets to me.”
Although Kim Kardashian has not responded to that post, her longtime trainer DON-A-MATRIX is coming to her defense! Speaking to TMZ on Wednesday, he said Kim simply dropped the weight the old-fashioned way … hard work and dieting. Don said it was a two-week process, and says at no point did she “starve” herself. Don goes on to say Kim Kardashian was an animal in the gym; she worked out 2 times a day and stuck to a well-balanced diet.
“I think one of the misconceptions is — she works really hard. I was there through the process and it wasn’t like a starving yourself type of thing,” Don-A-Matrix told TMZ. “She’s been on a real balanced diet and at times she wouldn’t eat as much, but then the second thing was she went to the gym and put the work in.” He added, “It’s possible to lose 20 pounds in a healthy way.
