Kim Kardashian is getting confronted and called out left and right these days.
First, as previously posted on The Hollywood Gossip, Kim will get into it big time with her own sister on this Sunday’s return episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Then, Tyson Beckford randomly went at the reality star on social media.
Now, Kardashian is receiving some very deserved backlash by a pair of actress, Emmy Rossum and Stephanie Beatriz.
The Shameless star and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star each attacked Kim online for the way she reacted over the weekend after her sibilings referred to her as very thin and even anorexic.
In footage Kim herself filmed and shared, Kardashian can be heard thanking loved ones Khloe and Kendall for saying such things about her 119-pound figure.
Here. See for yourself:
The Internet immediately blasted Kardashian for reacting in this way to talk of having an anorexic body (that is NOT a compliment, Kim)…
… while Beatriz used a personal anecdote to help explain why this attitude is so dangerous.
“Kim Kardashian saying what she weighs and her sisters complimenting her being so skinny is like eating my brain rn,” the 37-year-old wrote as a meme, adding:
“There’s only one time in my life when I ever weighed 119 pounds.
“It was right in the middle of a terrible relationship, and intense eating disorder, and I thought that I could be thinner and look even better.”
Yes, there it is.
One should not aim to be as skinny as Kardashians claims to be and one should most definitely not show gratitude for being called anorexic. It stes an awful example.
Beatriz went on to note:
“Everyone kept complimenting me on how I looked, and I felt desperate to stay at that weight. IT SUCKED.”
Beatriz concluded by offering her support to others struggling with eating disorders, writing:
“So if this sh-t b f-cking w you I GET IT. Try not to hurt yourself over it. I’ve been texting friends for support.”
You tell ‘em, Stephanie.
After seeing Beatriz’s posts, Rossum chimed in some words of encouragement on her own Instagram Stories account.
“@iamstephbeatz, I love you and I support you and you’re beautiful and strong and powerful and a creative bada** woman,” she wrote.
Rossum had a lot more to add, though:
“@iamstephbeatz, the only time I was 119 pounds is when I had MONO. On a magazine shoot everyone was ‘freaking out over how good’ I looked. I had lost 10 pounds and was gaunt and sick and felt faint…
“It totally messed with my head. I love you and I’m with you.”
Similar to Beatriz, Rossum concluded her Kim bashing with a larger message of hope for anyone struggling with body image issues.
“You never know what someone is going through,” she wrote.
“If you’re having a tough time with body image, I promise you’re beautiful and this feeling will pass. Today is just a moment. Practice some self-care and reboot.
“Take a bath. Take a walk. Take a yoga class. Make a healthy nutritious meal and watch your favorite funny movie. Tomorrow is another day.”
Yes, yes and yes.
Is this really such a difficult role to fill, Kim?
You have millions and millions of impressionable followers.
Try being a positive role model for them for a change.
