Kim Kardashian's Body Insecurities Are So Bad That Kourtney Tried Deleting Her Social Media
Kim Kardashian has been quite open about her body-image issues this season on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Last week, we saw her get visibly upset when a tabloid ran candid bikini shots of her from a vacation in Mexico. “You take pictures and people just body-shame you,” she said. “It’s like literally giving me body dysmorphia.”
And she opened up more about her insecurities during last night’s episode. “When will they stop with this story? You definitely get a thick skin once you have been through it a lot, but pictures just keep coming up every day and they just won’t let it go. I know I can handle anything and everything, and if I can’t handle it…who can?” she said. “I just am in the house so much that I get so freaked out if anyone like, looks at me. [It’s a] full phobia—I freak out about everything. Why do I subject myself to being seen? Why don’t I just stay at home?”
Kim’s sisters, Kourtney and Khloé, blame social media for a lot of her insecurities. “It consumes you and it affects you,” Kourtney told Kim in the episode last night. “You just need to live your life. Why do you need to see this nonsense?”
But the sisters did more than just confront Kim about the issue. They straight-up tried to delete apps off her phone. In a clip from the episode, which we included below, Kourtney and Khloé set up a plan to distract Kim so they can wipe her phone clean of what they call “the bullshit.”
“Kim is normally not this insecure,” Khloé says before Kourtney adds, “If she just didn’t have access to social media or stopped looking at the blogs, I think that she would start to feel better.”
“I feel like one of the best things [Kim did for herself] after her Paris incident was she really detached herself from the Internet and social media,” Khloé said. “We really need to step in.”
So do they succeed in their plan? Watch to find out:
