"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 person
should look like - as well as being compared to Shamu the Whale
by the media," she wrote, referring to the mammal that used to
perform at SeaWorld.
"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," said Kardashian, who rose to fame
through her family's reality TV show "Keeping Up with the
Kardashians".
The cosmetics businesswoman and social media star said she was
reminded of those months while watching a recent documentary
about Britney Spears, tracing the meteoric rise of the pop star
and the media coverage of her mental health breakdown in 2007.
Kardashian, 40, said the documentary made her empathize with
Spears. She said the media "can be very traumatizing and it can
really break even the strongest person.
"No-one deserves to be treated with such cruelty or judgment for
entertainment," Kardashian told her 208 million Instagram
followers.
Kardashain gave birth to her daughter North in June 2013. She
went on to have a son, Saint, in 2015 and later had two children
by a surrogate because of health complications. Kardashian last
month filed for divorce from the rapper Kanye West, her husband
of almost seven years.
