'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' News: Kylie Jenner Admits She's Been Bullied Most of Her Life
Kylie Jenner recently told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres she's been bullied in some form for most of her life.
Hollywood Life reports the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reality show star held back little in her far reaching chat with DeGeneres, which is set to air on Monday.
The 18-year-old girlfriend to rap star Tyga added all her problems with bullying began long before the two started dating a little more than a year ago, when Jenner became a constant online target of the rapper's ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna.
"I've been bullied my whole life whether it was about my peers or comments on Instagram or Twitter, whatever," Jenner told DeGeneres. "And I never talked about my story really. I feel like I've kind of accepted it because I realized that just comes with the territory."
More recently, the 18-year-old reality star launched a platform on Instagram where young people can post stories about overcoming bullying in hopes of inspiring others.
"I kind of wanted them to just use my platform and post their stories on Instagram to hopefully inspire my followers too, because they inspire me so much," she said of her motivation for starting the page.
Jenner first launched her page two months ago, after sharing her admiration for fellow anti-bullying activist Lizzie Velasquez, who became a motivational speaker after being criticized for her looks, which are the result of a rare syndrome that stops her from gaining weight.
After voicing her support for Velasquez, Jenner reflected, "People are so quick to say horrible things about me every day over and over, and sometimes I can't take it. Even I at times get affected by it. I breakdown. I hide. I cry. It's resulted in a lot of anxiety for me that I've never had to deal with before ever."
