After hearing Kim Kardashian's response to her family promoting unattainable beauty standards, Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans are blasting the KarJenners for seemingly missing the mark. It was during the show's first and only reunion when the famous family was asked how they feel about criticism related to the glam personas they promote to a fanbase who looks to them for beauty advice. But after Kim credited the family's good looks and physiques to them doing the work and working out, many viewers think the family missed their opportunity to show a more authentic side to themselves. Now that the show is over, viewers are reliving the moment and determining just how genuine the KarJenner family really is.
For years, the Kardashian-Jenner family has been accused of plastic surgery, photoshopping, and using filters to portray a perfected version of themselves when in front of the camera. Earlier this year, Khloe Kardashian faced backlash after she was caught in a photo leak scandal over an unedited picture that she wanted to be scrapped from the internet. Many called out the Revenge Body host and accused her of being a hypocrite to the body positivity movement she claims to represent. Kylie Jenner has often been called out for her constant use of filters that many say bring down the appeal of her Kylie Cosmetics brand due to fans not being able to see her product's true effect. Additionally, almost every sister has been accused of photoshopping their photos and videos to make their bodies appear slimmer in size.
Popstar Billie Eilish has a new album out where a song "OverHeated" left one Redditor under the impression that the singer was taking a jab at the Kardashian and Jenner family. User cajuncats said, "I definitely believe Billie was talking about the Kards after their embarrassing defense of their bodies on the reunion show." The Redditor said this over a screenshot of Billie explaining how the song is directed at people who promote unattainable beauty standards. While it's not confirmed if Billie is referring to the famous family in her song, others joined the discussion to call out the Kardashian sisters for still being guilty by association. "Denying surgery is one thing but denying AND putting others down for not achieving the same body knowing d*mn well u didn’t actually achieve it yourself is soooo damaging," one person said.
There was one Redditor on the thread who mentioned how the KarJenners put others down for not looking like them and others joined in to respond. "The subtext/implication of saying they just “worked really hard” for their bodies. That is, anyone who doesn’t look like them COULD if they worked harder," one user responded to the Reddit thread, referencing Kim's response during the reunion show. At the time, Kim claimed her family doesn't promote unattainable beauty standards, "Because I think we get up, we do the work. We work out," she said. But it was this response that made many people feel like the family was still finding it hard to be completely honest about how they acquired their perfected looks over the years.
It's been assumed that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians family keeps tabs on fan discussions on Reddit, so hopefully there are some PR notes when it comes to addressing their public image next time around. Viewers are anticipating what type of content they will bring to Hulu. Hopefully, it's something that their fans can relate to.
