I really don't seem how having deals with the paparazzi and a TV show is consent to be bullied for gaining weight while pregnant.

Your advice has been noted and dismissed.

This was also my understanding of her comment. If you look at the context, it's obvious she's not honestly advising women to become some kind of agoraphobic shut in who never leaves her house for 9 months just because she's pregnant.

She also got shit for being the "wrong" kind of pregnant - ie ACTUALLY GAINING WEIGHT. She had the misfortune of being pregnant around the same time as Kate Middleton who has a completely different body type and was praised (and sometimes concern-trolled) for staying so slim, while Kim was pretty roundly mocked.

Yeah, being pregnant takes that whole thing of a woman's body being public property and turns it up to 11. Strangers feel free to touch your belly! In the supermarket! So I won't lie, I recognize what she is describing.

I hear real trauma and anguish too. Her pregnancy was basically ruined by all the body hate.

I don't think the wording is even slightly odd. She was hounded every time she left the house and her pregnant body was dissected in the press like a frog in a high school biology class. If she wore anything that she clearly thought was fun and bright and enjoyable, they stepped up the attacks. She's saying to her…

I think this is definitely where she was coming from. People were HORRIBLE to her when she was pregnant. But never fear Kim, for most of us, our maternity fashion will be the same 5 knit maternity dresses from target rotated over and over again until we can get back into out normal jeans.

Right? My kid's one and has no preference whatsoever on what she's wearing. She just wants me to get her dressed as quickly as possible so she can resume conquering (destroying) the house.

Exactly, she got so much shit for what she wore while pregnant she's saying ladies the only right answer is to never be seen.

I am not famous and being pregnant in public was the goddamned worst. Strangers patting my belly. Strangers lecturing me for holding a Starbucks cup. Strangers giving me the stink eye for crossing the threshold of a sushi restaurant or eating soft cheese. Believe me, if I could have stayed home for 38 weeks, I would…

"North doesn't really like pink. Like, she's very neutral — she doesn't like prints," Kim said. "She hasn't liked it for her whole life."

that's what I picked up from it to.

I feel like you're being kind of hard on Kim here. With the amount of shit she was given about her body and clothes while pregnant, I'm surprised she leaves the house now.

I assumed that Kim Kardashian meant that if you leave the house as a pregnant woman and dare to have any pregnancy style whatsoever that someone will pick you to pieces.

He didn't mature and he didn't need to. It was the fans and media who behaved like idiots constructing their "narrative" the first time around. The only difference this time is he gave the idiots the narrative and language they wanted. That's not really maturity that's just learning from precedent.

Why be so cynical? Can people not grow and mature?

OK, I was born in Alabama. I grew up in Florida and I live in Texas.

AL dot com has made a thing of odd semi-NY Post "Headless Body Found in Topless Bar" type headlines. It was probably inevitable they'd step over a line like this eventually.

I 've been cruising around reading more on this and it sounds like outside of his MI- he has a distinct pattern of just being a completely aggressive shitbag to women in general. verbal and phsyical..the stories that pop up in the next few days ought to be bile producing.
