"Body shamers really broke me during pregnancy" - Kim Kardashian



Kim Kardashian has today taken to her Instagram handle to call out those who bully and body- shame others, while recalling her embarrassment when she was attacked for gaining 60 pounds during her first pregnancy.

Kim in her Instagram story detailed how she had been compared to a killer whale during the later stages of her pregnancy in 2013, and how her figure was contrasted unfavourably to Prince William’s wife Kate, who was also pregnant at the time. “I cried every single day over what was happening to my body, mainly from the pressures of being constantly compared to what society considered a healthy person should look like. I was shamed on a weekly basis with cover stories that made my insecurities so painful I couldn’t leave the house for months after. It really broke me,” she wrote.

Kim Kardashian to get "$60m Hidden Hills mansion" as she divorces Kanye West



Kim Kardashian is reportedly set to keep the $60 million Calabasas mansion she shared with Kanye West and their children amid their ongoing divorce.

The former couple purchased the Hidden Hills residence for $20 million in 2014 but did not move in until 2018 after investing $40 million in renovations. An insider revealed earlier this year that Kim reportedly owns the land, but Kanye owns the actual house. However, they have now agreed that the reality star will get the iconic Hidden Hills mansion so their four children (daughters; North, seven, Chicago, three, and sons; Saint, five, and Psalm, one) can remain in their family home.  Kim was keen to remain in the home because she ‘really likes the house’ and the fact most of her family live ‘within a block of her in the same community’.
