- Khloé Kardashian opened up about her self-confidence journey during a recent episode of "The Kardashians."
- "I've been torn apart the minute that I've gone on TV," the Good American founder said.
- Per Khloé, she had the "most confidence" as a kid before critics made her doubt herself.
Khloé Kardashian opened up about her self-esteem journey during a recent episode of "The Kardashians" on Hulu.
The Good American founder said she was confident from childhood, but that continued criticism of her appearance eventually made her feel more insecure.
"I had the most confidence. I was chubby, in a skintight dress, you couldn't tell me otherwise. Society gave me insecurities," Khloé said in a confessional interview.
"I've been torn apart the minute that I've gone on TV. I didn't look like my sisters, so therefore, it's not good enough," she continued, adding: "Then when I started, whatever, changing my look, you get better makeup, you do fillers, you do whatever, I had a nose job, and there's still people constantly bullying you."
Per Khloé, she really only became self-conscious after facing the continued critiques of her appearance.
When her sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker tried to tell her later in the episode that she wasn't "chubby" in her younger years, Khloé disagreed, showing her a photo as proof.
"I was, but it's fine. It's like I'm wearing a fat suit," Khloé responded.
Ultimately, Khloé concluded, "you have to do things for yourself," and "we're all just trying to do the best we can."
The 39-year-old, along with sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, has remained steadily in the spotlight since the family's reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" began airing in 2007.
In recent years, however, Khloé has been criticized by some for constantly changing her appearance through cosmetic procedures, and has been accused of heavily editing her photos on social media.
New episodes of "The Kardashians" air Thursdays on Hulu.
