Khloé Kardashian, whose new Hulu show, "The Kardashians," premieres next month on streaming giant Hulu, is opening up about her life in the spotlight.
In a new interview with Variety, Kardashian got frank about the often stinging comparisons she’s endured to her sisters, Kim and Kourtney.
She said that, when she was younger, it was particularly hurtful that she was “always being compared to my sisters in a way where I can’t be related to them because we look different. It was always emphasized that they were so much prettier. And that’s just really poor taste. Those things were definitely really hurtful, just to always be compared to them, especially in the fashion or beauty world comparing our bodies or faces."
Khloé clarified that the comparisons have not resulted in inter-family disputes. “None of us get it,” she claimed. “My sisters will talk about it, like, ‘Why are they so much more vicious towards you?’ We don’t have an explanation for that. None of us really understand, and there’s no rhyme or reason. The more it happens, the more you become numb to it, but that doesn’t mean you’re completely immune to it.”
Kardashian also opened up about her breakup with NBA star Tristan Thompson, which was documented extensively in the press. Concerning the news that Thompson fathered a child with another woman while still technically with Kardashian, she answered, “I wish I never had to talk about that because it’s not a fun thing to talk about. But it is part of my journey in life, so we will see it on the show.”
However, Kardashian has more things to concern herself with these days. There’s the new show, her 3-year old daughter, True Thompson, and her inclusivity-focused, full-size range fashion line, Good American.
“It’s been so important to me,” she says of her company, “to have many different shapes, sizes, colors, however many tattoos, no tattoos, shaved heads, long hair — whatever it is, I want representation of all varieties. I think people need to see that, and if somebody feels that they can be represented in that way and it gives them more confidence, then I’ve done my job.”
And in the end, the Kardashian family has, through all the chippy gossip and tabloid rumors, stayed solid. “Family comes before everything – that’s always been who we are, since we started on TV in our 20’s, and now, we’ve all evolved and have our own little families within our big family umbrella. It’s just who we are. It’s what makes us happy. It’s what we work hard for, so we can give them certain luxuries and have certain securities. It literally makes life worth living, having kids.”
