Kylie Jenner recalls 'horror stories' of paparazzi trying to slut-shame her when she was 16
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Kardashians' star Kylie Jenner recently had a conversation with Jennifer Lawrence for a cover interview.
The reality star reflected on the paparazzi's treatment of her as a teenager.
In a cover interview with Interview Magazine, Kylie revealed, "But with the paparazzi, it’s been really hard. I’ve had some horror stories."
The reality star added, "Just, like, when I was 16 and these 50-year-old men were saying, 'Hi, little slut.'"
The beauty mogul elaborated, "Trying to shoot up my skirt and jumping out of the bushes, scaring me, blocking my car. It was actually worse when I was younger."
Kylie got the paparazzi's "slut" comment after her sister Kim Kardashian's sex tape went viral. In a previous episode of 'The Kardashians', Kylie and Kendall Jenner opened up about the incident.
She revealed that paparazzi commented, "Are you a whore just like your sister?'"
Kendall dished, "We were 16 years old! Kylie didn’t even have a license… 'Hey, little sluts! Are you guys gonna have a sex tape like your sister?'"
Kylie added that the photographers would ask them, "'When are you guys gonna get naked, you little sluts.'"
Despite the comments, Kylie claimed she couldn't picture herself without spotlights.
Kylie noted, "But I don’t really know what it would be like to grow up not in the spotlight, and that’s helped me because I have nothing to refer back to."
Kylie Jenner feels 'so violated' by paparazzi
Kylie Jenner had a traumatic experience with the paparazzi. The reality star recalled the worst encounter with the paparazzi when a photographer lay on the sidewalk and took a picture up her skirt when she was a teenager.
In an episode of 'The Kardashians', Kylie recalled, "I remember when I was 19, I was wearing this colorful dress, and as I’m getting in the car, the pap goes to his stomach on the ground, gets his camera up my skirt and takes a picture."
She admitted that she felt "so violated" after the incident.
She added, "I'm crying in the car, I’m stressed out the whole night, the whole next day, like, this photo of my vagina’s gonna come out."
The photo was released online soon after, and published alongside a caption which suggested Kylie had "little respect" for herself.
Kylie also admitted that she was still visibly enraged by the memory describing the photo, "You can see my underwear a little bit in between my legs. And the caption was like, 'Kylie with little dignity'... Like you didn’t just fully violate me!"
