Kim Kardashian says Framed by Britney Spears gave her flashbacks to how she was treated during her first pregnancy. The media attention, she admits, “really broke me.”
On Friday, the reality star (40) reflected on her pregnancy with daughter North West (7) and shared a slideshow of magazine covers comparing her to Shamu the whale and mocking her 60-pound weight gain. “So I finally watched the Britney Spears documentary this week and it made me feel very empathetic for her,” she wrote on Instagram Stories. “The way the media played a big role in her life the way it did can be very traumatic and it can break even the strongest person. No matter what someone’s life looks like, no one deserves to deal with such cruelty or judgment to be treated. for entertainment. ‘
The 5th of February The New York Times presents documentary from Spears recalls the obsessive news coverage of the pop star’s mental health, her former relationship with Justin Timberlake and her sexuality, which casts new context on the objectification of the media about young women. As a new outrage erupted on social media, Timberlake Spears apologized for disclosing their sex life after the 2002 rift.
Kardashian experienced her own hell during her first pregnancy, from fat scans, fashion criticism and rumors that her baby bump was fake.
“When I was pregnant with North, I suffered from preeclampsia, which caused me to swell uncontrollably,” Kardashian wrote of the risky pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and forced the mother to give birth six weeks early. After delivery, Kardashian develops placenta accreta, which occurs when the placenta does not detach from the uterine wall after delivery. During her second pregnancy with the son, Saint, 5, Kardashian developed both conditions and decided to use a surrogate to free the daughter Chicago (3) and son Psalm, 1. Kardashian shares all of her children with rapper Kanye West, with whom she recently filed for divorce.
During her first pregnancy, she wrote: ‘… I cried every day about what was happening to my body, mainly because of the pressure to be constantly compared to the society that is considered a healthy pregnant person, as well as to compare Shamu the whale through the media. Looking at all the photos of myself online and in magazines made me so insecure and I was scared to wonder if I would ever get my body back in front of the baby. ‘
She added: ‘I am ashamed weekly with cover stories that hurt my insecurity so much that I could not leave the house for months afterward.
Kardashian said that the unpleasant feelings of her make the person she is today, “to say that it did not take a toll on me mentally would be a lie. I just share it to say that I really hope that everyone involved in embarrassing and bullying someone to the point of breaking him down can reconsider and instead try to show understanding and compassion.You just never know what someone is going through behind the scenes, and I have learned from my own experiences that it is always better to lead with kindness. ‘
