LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The View' host Alyssa Farah Griffin left the audience shocked as she slipped out an attack on the Kardashians while the panel was discussing beauty standards. 

The women on the talk show had gotten around to having a discussion on women's struggles with aging and their physical appearance. 

Griffin went on to share her problems with people resorting to artificial methods to reach the ideal but unrealistic standards of beauty nowadays.

In the process, the host stumbled on her words as she nonchalantly mentioned the Kardashians in the same context.

Griffin commented on the growing concerns about beauty standards and how the entrepreneur was able to maintain a natural beauty while moving into her 80s. 

"What I love about this is she looks like herself," Griffin said about Stewart's cover photo, "I'm sure there's a little bit of work done here and there, but she looks like herself!"

She also expressed her worries about the surging use of plastic surgeries and other artificial methods to appeal to societal beauty expectations. 

"I'm a little sad with my generation of women because I feel like they are all trying to adapt to the current beauty thing," Griffin added, "Like we can get the big fillers, the giant lips."

"Look like yourself, there is only one you," she appealed to her audience, "There's already Kardashians. You don't need to look like one."
