Kim Kardashian defends drastic Met Gala weight loss in new interview

Kim Kardashian has revealed what she “hates” about her famous figure, as she also addressed her controversial Met Gala weight loss.

Kim Kardashian says she’s “at peace” with not being perfect while defending her rapid weight loss to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s dress at the Met Gala this year.

The reality star, 41, admitted she cares about how she looks “more than 90 per cent of the people on this planet,” adding that she has learnt to be more carefree in recent times — but still “hates” one aspect of her body.

“I’m at peace with not being perfect and I wasn’t like that before, I hate my hands — they’re wrinkly and gross,” she told Allure magazine as their newest cover star.

She went on to claim she has “never had filler”, but gets “a little bit of Botox”.

“I’ve never had eyelash extensions. I’ve never done anything,” the 41-year-old mogul stated. “I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips.”

Kim courted controversy at the Met Gala for revealing she’d lost 7kg to fit into the iconic Jean Louis gown Marilyn Monroe wore to sing Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy. The SKIMS founder defended the move, likening herself to an actor preparing for a role.

“If I was starving and doing it really unhealthy, I would say that, of course, that’s not a good message. But I had a nutritionist, I had a trainer. I have never drunk more water in my life. I don’t see the criticism for other people when they lost weight for roles — they are [considered] geniuses for their craft,” she said.

She added: “There are so many things out there that are so not accurate and not true.”

The mother-of-four went on to reveal just how intense her diet was for the event, recalling how she was told to ditch her plant-based diet and eat meat despite the impact it had on her health.

“Psoriasis broke out over my body and I got psoriatic arthritis so I couldn’t really move my hands. It was really painful, and I had to go to a rheumatologist who put me on a steroid. I was freaking out,” she shared.

Since cutting out meat again, she told the magazine the condition has calmed down.

Kim’s fairly new-found style icon status saw her chosen to walk the Balenciaga show at Paris Couture Fashion Week on Wednesday among other celebs including Dua Lipa, Christine Quinn and Aussie actress Nicole Kidman.
