Supermodel’s bikini photo goes viral on Twitter

Kendall Jenner went viral. Her name started trending on Twitter after Kim Kardashian shared photos from their upcoming photoshoot for Skims. Kendall also posted photos on her respective Instagram account. Some fans posted on Twitter that they felt insecure after seeing Kendall’s photos.

“I got 99 problems and looking like Kendall Jenner would solve all of them,” one fan wrote.

The reality star noticed the comment. She revealed that she too suffers from body insecurity.

“i am an extremely lucky girl. appreciative of all that i have,” Kendall tweeted. “but i want you to know i have bad days too and that i hear you! you are beautiful just the way you are!!! it’s not always as perfect as it may seem.”

She has spoken out about her insecurities before. In an interview with The Telegraph, Kendall admitted to comparing herself to her famous sisters.

“My sisters are a lot curvier than me,” she told the British outlet. “They have boobs, and I don’t have boobs. Growing up being this little twiggy girl, I saw my sisters and always thought ‘Oh no, am I supposed to be more sexy like them?’ I almost felt like I didn’t fit in for a part of my life.”

She eventually got over those insecurities. Since then, Kendall has accepted that she and her sisters are different. Not only do they have different bodies, but they also have strikingly different personalities. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star rocks her own vibe and interests.

Kendall Jenner called out for setting unrealistic body standards

But that’s not all. Kendall Jenner got slammed for promoting unrealistic body standards. Some fans claimed that she Photoshopped the bikini photos. One user named @problematicfame took to her Instagram page to share the photos of Kendall in the red bikini.

“also.. this photo is very photoshopped,” the user wrote. ‘kendall is obviously very gorgeous but these are not her real proportions, nor are they anybody’s. please don’t compare yourself to heavily edited images. even kendall doesn’t even look like irl. [sic]”

The fan followed up with some examples. She claimed while the model was posing, some of the images were heavily edited. According to the Instagram user, not everything that people see is for real. She also had some encouraging words for young fans.

“Anybody who has a uterus has a little ‘pooch’ that’s a fact (that’s your uterus!) flat stomachs just aren’t possible, our bodies aren’t built to look that way,” she continued. “Now make sure you’re drinking water and go eat that burger or that pasta! It’ll be delicious and you deserve it. [sic]”
