00:00 You know what? I was feeling myself then and that's okay.
00:04 Fame, glory, riches. Those have been common themes for the Kardashian and Jenner family
00:10 since they broke onto the reality TV scene almost two decades ago. But behind closed curtains,
00:15 is it everything that it seems? Today we're diving into the sad realities behind the scenes
00:20 of Kendall Jenner's life. Someone calls me with more bad news like every five minutes.
00:25 It's just so stressful. Kendall Jenner is scared to have children. In a season four episode of
00:30 The Kardashians, Kendall revealed that her dog Pyro has severe separation anxiety. Kendall believes
00:36 that the dog's anxious tendencies were potentially coming as a result of her anxieties caused by her
00:42 stressful lifestyle. Yeah, the dog. Kendall quoted, "It's one of the reasons why I'm actually scared
00:47 to have children." I could be the problem. Do you have that much anxiety? Yeah, I've been really bad
00:51 lately. Lately worse than ever? Yeah. It's one of the reasons why I'm like actually scared to have
00:55 children. She then dove into the fact that her anxieties caused her to get additionally anxious
01:00 as she wonders if it will get worse as her life progresses on. See, Kendall has been very open
01:05 about her mental health stating that her anxiety began when she was around eight years old. That's
01:10 about four years before Keeping Up With The Kardashians started filming. I still have a lot I
01:14 need to figure out before I can like welcome a child into my life. Kendall remains the only
01:19 Kardashian and Jenner sister who has not yet had any children to date and we may never see the day
01:25 that she does. Like I'm still like just enjoying life on my own and I'm okay with that right now.
01:33 Up next, Kendall Jenner has faced social media backlash that has caused her to break down in
01:39 tears. I would never purposely hurt someone ever. With hundreds of millions of followers on
01:44 Instagram, it's safe to say that it can be a weird reality for Kendall knowing that she's always at
01:50 the interest of so many strangers. Additionally, it comes as no surprise that not all of those
01:56 followers always have the nicest things to say. Kendall has spoken out on the topic of social
02:01 media backlash claiming that she has often cried endlessly for days because of things that people
02:08 have said to and about her, making her stronger along the way though. Kendall quotes, "I am not
02:14 superhuman. I definitely feel and the things that people say online are very hurtful." She added
02:21 that, "You also have to just live your life and not pay attention to it. I think it can get pretty
02:26 unhealthy if you really are deep into it and paying attention to it all the time." Of course,
02:31 referring to all the online backlash. Up next, moving on, Kendall claims that she would never
02:36 be friends with her sister Kylie if they were not related. Can you believe that? Kendall and Kylie
02:41 often appear to be as close as two sisters can be, but as close as they are, there have been many
02:47 blowout fights between the two over the years. See, in a promotional teaser for an episode of
02:52 Life of Kylie back in 2017, Kendall made shocking remarks claiming that she doesn't believe that her
03:03 and her sister Kylie would actually be friends if they weren't sisters. See, I think there might be
03:10 more to uncover here. I'm actually curious to see what would happen in a parallel universe
03:14 where they aren't sisters. Would fate bring Kylie and Kendall together, or was Kendall right? See,
03:20 I don't think I could live in a world where these two aren't sisters. Moving on, Kendall Jenner is
03:25 constantly being criticized by fellow models over her privilege. See, Kendall has faced constant
03:32 criticism from fans and fellow models alike who believe that her celebrity status and wealth
03:38 may have provided a shortcut into the modeling world. The perception of privilege and shortcuts
03:43 in her modeling career has been a constant subject of discussion and critique. But are they really
03:49 wrong? The fellow high-profile model Daria Strokis had a mini social media flair with Kendall where
03:56 she claimed that the average model has to do their best and make their way up the ladder and try to
04:01 make money on the way so that they can provide for themselves and their families, thus implying that
04:06 Kendall sort of skipped all those steps and got propelled to the top of the ladder. Perhaps Daria
04:13 has a point, but was it up to Kendall to be born with the likes of a Kardashian name in the first
04:17 place? That brings us to the next tough reality of Kendall's life. Kendall has severe anxiety
04:23 revolving the internet. In an interview with her supermodel bestie Cara Delevingne, Kendall revealed
04:28 that she struggles sometimes to see positivity with so much unnecessary hate and negativity
04:34 surrounding her on the internet, so much so that she actually claims that she fears for younger
04:38 generations. In response to a question from Delevingne about factors hindering Kendall's sleep,
04:44 Jenner shared, "It's funny that you asked that, because I have such debilitating anxiety because
04:49 of everything going on that I often wake up in the middle of the night due to severe anxiety attacks."
04:55 The model opened up about the challenges she faces due to anxiety, shedding light on the
05:00 impact of her high-profile lifestyle as well as her mental well-being. Kendall quotes, "You go
05:05 online and you see everyone saying the worst things to each other, and it's hard to stay positive.
05:10 It's hard not to get eaten alive by all the negativity." Moving on, Kendall Jenner wishes
05:15 she wasn't famous. Kendall has often acknowledged the challenges that come with her high-profile
05:20 lifestyle. In an interview with Vogue, the model shared her concerns about the pressure of being in
05:25 the spotlight and its impact on her mental health. "If you think about it, there's no mental health
05:30 breaks when you've got cameras in your face 24/7." Kendall quotes, "There are moments I wish I wasn't
05:35 famous. I've had moments where I wish I could be out of the spotlight for a couple hours at least."
05:40 Just a couple hours, could you imagine? The model emphasized the importance of incorporating
05:45 self-care into her daily routine, such as enjoying a cup of tea or even just reading a book. She
05:51 quotes, "I would love to remind everyone that progress in mental health takes time, and to keep
05:56 practicing healthy habits to work towards your goals." Up next, Kendall claims that Caitlyn
06:02 Jenner's transition was extremely difficult for her. Now this may come as a surprise, such as
06:07 Caitlyn Jenner surprising the world back in 2015 when she publicly revealed her transgender
06:13 identity. Formerly known as Bruce, Caitlyn was a former Olympic gold medalist and the father to
06:18 Kendall and Kylie Jenner. The news not only stunned the media and the public who had followed the
06:23 family on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but also had a profound impact on Caitlyn's daughter
06:28 Kendall. In a 2016 interview with Vogue, Kendall Jenner shared the emotional struggle that she faced
06:34 in accepting her father Caitlyn Jenner's transition. Letting go of the image of her father as a man
06:40 was in fact difficult, especially considering that he had played a significant role in shaping her
06:45 tomboy-like personality, according to Kendall. Kendall also admitted feeling a little bit sad
06:51 when looking at pictures of her dad before the transition. However, she acknowledged that she
06:56 needed to move beyond it, recognizing that she now has a new person to love. Despite the challenges,
07:02 Kendall saw the transition as a blessing in disguise. Last but not least, Kendall Jenner
07:07 faced tons of backlash from the internet regarding a Pepsi advertisement. Yes, if you didn't know this
07:19 already, back in 2017, Kendall Jenner faced significant backlash for her involvement in a
07:25 super controversial Pepsi commercial. The ad featured Jenner amidst a group of protesters,
07:31 where she handed a can of Pepsi to a row of police officers. The commercial was criticized heavily
07:37 for trivializing serious social and political movements, such as the popular Black Lives Matter
07:42 movement and the Women's March, by suggesting that a soft drink could resolve complex issues.
07:48 The backlash was widespread, with many expressing their disappointment, including Bernice King,
07:53 daughter of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, who tweeted, "If only Daddy would have
07:58 known about the power of Pepsi." Well, Bernice, if only. The controversy took a toll on Jenner,
08:03 who broke down in tears on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. She expressed remorse,
08:08 and emphasized that causing offense was absolutely not her intention. Pepsi eventually pulled the
08:14 commercial and issued an apology, acknowledging that they had missed the mark in trying to convey
08:19 a message of unity and understanding. So which of these tough realities of Kendall Jenner's life
08:25 surprised you the most? Would you like to live a day in Kendall Jenner's shoes? Which celebrity
08:30 should we dive into next? Let us know in the comments below. And in the meantime, keep your
08:34 head high, and remember, if you ever feel down, Pepsi is there to help, not a sponsor.
