The reality star says the first pregnancy
'changed my personality'
Kim Kardashian West has perfected the
pouty look, but why so serious? The star
says there’s a reason why she doesn’t show
off her pearly whites.
Kardashian West tells C Magazine in a new
interview that her reluctance to smile stems
from her first pregnancy in 2013 with
daughter North West.
The reality star, 34, says preeclampsia
caused her to bloat, and in turn set her up
for harsh critique from the public.
“Last time [contributed to] not only the
weight, but also the swelling that everyone
would make fun of, not understanding that I
had this condition,” she tells Amanda de
Cadenet in the magazine’s 10th anniversary
cover story.
The expecting mom calls the body-shaming
the “worst.”
“I couldn’t help it, and everyone would say,
‘She can’t stop eating,’ ” she says. “I
delivered at 180, and they were like, ‘She’s
210 pounds. She’s getting dumped because
she’s too fat’ and all these ridiculous
stories. It really took a toll after the fact,
when I was losing weight. I gained 50
pounds, and it’s tough to get it off.”
Kardashian West, whose husband Kanye
West is also known for his reluctance to
grin, says she was “dedicated” to getting
back to her pre-baby shape, but it “changed
the way I viewed wanting my picture taken.”
“Before I was always smiling, and so into
being out and about,” she tells the
magazine. “After I had the baby, I was like,
‘These are the same people that made fun
of me, and posted the stories that were so
awful, calling me fat for something I
couldn’t control.'”
Her solution? No more smiling.
“‘I don’t want to smile for them. I don’t
want to be out,'” Kardashian West says.
“Even if I was more confident, I just didn’t
feel like being that girl who was going to be
smiling for every photo. It changed my
mood; it changed who I was; it changed my
personality a lot.”
