Kendall Jenner Speaks Out About Golden Globes Acne!

The Golden Globes were a huge deal. Oprah delivered an epic speechso epic that it got tragically sidelined by debate about whether or not she should become President, which was entirely not the point.


But not even that series of epic moments on the red carpet and at the ceremony itself could distract viewers from a certain member of the Kardashian clan who came dressed in black. And … sporting some acne.


Some fans decided to give Kendall Jenner a hard time about her breakout, but she’s speaking out about it on Twitter.



Kendall Jenner is drop-dead gorgeous.


Beauty is subjective, so they say, but many feel that she’s the most beautiful member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.


Many of the Kardashians have done modeling — often for their own products.


But Kendall’s really the only one to make an entire career out of professional modeling. She’s a supermodel.


But even so, that wasn’t enough to keep fans — and people who are decidedly not fans — from pointing out that she was sporting some facial acne at the Golden Globes.



Do you notice the acne? The little bumps on her face.


Not to be confused with the possible baby bump that some fans thought that they spotted, leading them to believe that Kendall Jenner is also pregnant.


(Honestly, we don’t need that level of madness in our lives … which is also probably how Kendall feels as she’s soon to become Kris Jenner’s only childless child)


It’s not a big deal. Lots of people — almost everyone — gets acne.


Remember your health teacher telling the class of 11-year-olds that everybody gets acne during puberty but it goes away when you’re an adult?


You grew up to learn that this was a lie, and that even if you wash your face with overpriced products every single day, you still get acne sometimes. Well, celebs go through the same thing. Kendall included.



What most of us have never faced is being in the spotlight on the level of, say, attending the Golden Globes or being Kendall Jenner.


And certainly not both.


Kendall Jenner got some negative mentions on social media. Because, sadly, of course she did.


If you want to criticize her business choices or whatever, go to town, but making fun of somebody’s acne on social media or in real life is a super garbage thing to do, folks.


Anyway, Kendall didn’t directly respond to the hate. She instead responded to a very different message.



One Twitter user tweeted:


“Ok but @Kend​allJenner showing up and strutting her acne while looking like a gorgeous star is what every girl needs to understand.”


That’s a great message, though most people who are intent on loathing their appearances might say “well yeah but she’s Kendall Jenner.” Which is missing the point.


Kendall saw the tweet and quoted it, writing:


“Never let that s–t stop you!” [smiling face with sunglasses emoji] [sparkles emoji]


Honestly, that’s good advice.



Good advice for anyone … and maybe good advice, specifically, for her sister Kylie.


Kylie Jenner is due on February 4th. That’s less than a month from now, folks. And, well, she’s been reportedly concerned for months that her pregnancy is making her ugly.


Maybe it’s her baby bump. Maybe it’s weight gain — that’s normal for pregnancies, folks. Maybe it’s stretch marks. Maybe gestational acne. Maybe it’s something else. We don’t know.


Whatever it is, it’s so bad that she’s reportedly just planning on hiding out until the baby is born. That’s her choice but it’s also nuts.


We can’t help but wonder if Kendall is sending a not-so-subtle message to her sister, or at least thinking of her.


If Kendall can go to the Golden Globes with an acne breakout covering the side of one of her cheeks, then Kylie can show her face while pregnant.

Bella Thorne Posts Makeup-Free Selfie, Reveals Struggle With Acne

If you follow Bella Thorne on Instagram, you know the girl shows a fair amount of skin in her frequent selfies.


But even though Bella’s workout photos tend to get the most attention from her followers, her latest pic might be her most revealing to date.



Yes, Bella has become the latest celeb to take part in the no-makeup selfie trend.


Generally, when celebs post a bare-faced photo, they’re at least partially motivated by the desire to show the world how flawless their skin is.


But while Bella certainly looks gorgeous in her all-natural state, she revealed a much more important reason for posting the pic in the lengthy caption that accompanies it:


“I know us girls love to put on makeup, not only for fun but sometimes to hide our insecurities…well, here is a photo of me without ANY makeup on my face. 


“I took this photo while arriving to set this morning. Personally, I struggled with acne for a long time. I used to cry every night because I thought I looked so ugly. I used to read comments about my face, my skin, my nose, my eyes, and even my beauty marks people didn’t approve of. 


“Putting makeup over acne makes it so much worse.



I know lots of my friends also struggle with acne and it’s something you can’t control. I know lots of people think others with acne are ‘dirty’ or ‘don’t take care of themselves.’ That is false.


My question to you is: Why should we be judged? 


Use #mynaturalbeauty & lets inspire every girl to be proud of what they look like and who they are. I love you guys. 

Oh and ps…If you don’t accept me for my insecurities please get off my page :)”

This isn’t the first time that Ms. Thorne has spoken openly about her past struggles and insecurities.


In a recent interview Bella talked about being bullied by a peer who continues to give her a hard time to this day.


So if you’re feeling your self-esteem dipping to a dangerous low today, just remember that even the flawless human specimen known as Bella Thorne doubts her beauty sometimes.


If that doesn’t convince you that no one is immune to it, we don’t know what will.

Kendall Jenner Opens Up About Acne, Self-Confidence Issues

At 19 years old, Kendall Jenner is already a global icon in the fashion industry.


Her face, her body and her boobs are all over the world, walking in runways and being featured on a number of giant billboards.



But that doesn’t mean Jenner has always felt comfortable about her looks.


In her latest website blog entry, Kendall opened up about a physical feature that caused her emotional pain every time she looked in the mirror.


Just like so many other young teenagers, Jenner suffered from some serious acne for a number of years.


“Where it really impacted me was how self-conscious I became about it,” Jenner writes.


“It completely ruined my self-esteem. I wouldn’t even look at people when I talked to them. I felt like such an outcast; when I spoke, it was with my hand covering my face.”


Fortunately, Khloe, Kim and Kim Kardashian were all there for her half-sister. They had all experienced this same issue.


“I was thankful we always talked about it in my family,” Jenner added.


“They would help me work on my feelings about it and how I would move past that stage of my life.


“I remember on Christmas Eve one year, I was sitting in my bedroom upstairs crying and Kim walked in and we talked about it together – she felt so bad for me.”


After learning to not pick at her zits, Kendall eventually visited a dermatologist and started doing Laser Genesis, a treatment to help reduce wrinkles, large pores, redness, and scars.


She’s now been free from an excess of pimples for three years.


“Slowly, I’m working towards not caring and I’m just in so much of a better place about it all now that I’m older,” Jenner concludes.


“I realized that it’s a part of life for some people and it doesn’t define who you are.”
