Kylie Jenner Says Aggressive Paparazzi “Violated” Her as a Teen, Took a Photo Up Her Skirt
Kylie and Kendall Jenner are getting candid about what it was like being part of their famous family growing up. With much fame for the Kardashian-Jenner clan came lots of invasive moments, particularly from overzealous paparazzi, they claim. In “The Kardashians”‘s season three finale, which aired on July 27, Kylie opened up about being 19 years old when an aggressive photographer took a picture up her skirt while she was getting into a car.
“I’m literally, like, so violated. I’m crying in the car. I’m stressed out the whole night, the whole next day [thinking] this photo of my vagina’s going to come out,” she recalled to Kendall and friend Scott Disick during the finale. “I’m like, now I understand why this happens to other women.”
Kylie explained that the photo later came out in the Daily Mail, in which she admitted you can see her underwear “a little bit,” with a caption that read, “Kylie with little dignity.” In disbelief, she added, “Like you didn’t just fully violate me.”
The Kylie Cosmetics founder also recalled being followed by paparazzi when she and Kendall were 16, at a time when they “tried to get a reaction out of us.” “They would say the meanest things,” shared Kendall, who remembered once being asked, “‘Are you a whore just like your sister?'” She and Kylie also claimed that photographers asked, “‘Hey, little sluts, are you going to have a sex tape like your sister?'” and “‘When are you guys going to get naked?'” – referring to Kim Kardashian‘s infamous sex tape with Ray J.
In a confessional interview, a shocked Kendall said, “I’m a virgin at the time. Couldn’t be the more opposite to who I am as a person. But, you know, I think we grew into really decent people through all the weird, sh*tty things that we’ve seen or experienced.” Kylie, meanwhile, said in her confessional that she’s surprised she’s still “a happy, normal person” with everything she’s been through. She added, “I think having, honestly, a good family that’s going through the same thing, you have such a great support system.”
Though the two have since seemingly moved on from those incidents, Kendall joked that she’s still looking for the photographer who took that photo of Kylie. “Shame on that f*cking loser,” she said to the camera. “Where are you now, bro? Seriously, I actually want to know your name.” She added, “If you find the photos, let me know so we can track down this photographer, ’cause he sucks.”
