Kim Kardashian graced Ashley Graham's new podcast show, "Pretty Big Deal with Ashley Graham," on Tuesday, October 2, and issued a public apology as she allegedly glorified anorexia in July. Kanye West's wife said sorry as she never meant to hurt anyone with her remarks.
Kim bravely tackled the issue in front of Graham, the famous plus-sized model. "I just recently got a lot of backlash [sic]," the 37-year-old television personality told the 30-year-old the show's host, via Hollywood Life.
As Kim seemed to forget the things said that day, Graham gave her a refresher. She told the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star that she was in a poker tournament at the time that they were talking about her dramatic weight loss.
Kim and her sisters were complimenting each other when she suddenly became the main topic. Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian said she looked anorexic but still amazing, and she was grateful for the comments.
"So my intention is never to offend anyone, and I really apologize if I offended anyone," Kim told Graham. The socialite admitted she understands where people were coming from to feel that way.
Kim then said she knows a lot of people who suffer from serious eating disorders and they have been in and out of hospitals for 15 years. "So I've experienced it enough to have known better," she said.
She then recalled the time when she was with her sisters, and they were laughing and joking so loud that she felt "carried away" of their compliments. She added what she said was insensitive, but it was never her intention to hurt anyone.
To recall, Kim received a total backlash for allegedly glorifying anorexia in a series of Instagram Stories she shared in July, per Cosmopolitan. In one of the clips, her younger sister, Kendall, told her she was worried about her looks as she was so skinny and seemed to be not eating.
Kim saw Kendall's comment positively and even said "thank you" for it. Later, Khloe praised her voluptuous body and even described her physique as an hourglass through hand gesture.
However, Tristan Thompson's partner said that she looked anorexic on the waist area and her arms were so thin it was like her pinky finger. Kim seemed to be happy with the comments and felt grateful for it.
Hence, Kim received backlash from her fans and social media users alike for allegedly celebrating her anorexic-looking body. Some said it would never be a good message to share to her millions of followers as many people are suffering from this illness.
