To the surprise of absolutely no one, (except maybe those crazy teens participating in the #KylieJennerChallenge), Kylie Jenner has in fact had “work done” to enhance her lips. Speculation around her dramatically boosted pucker has been the source of media attention for months, so this latest bit of truth will hopefully put everyone to rest (fingers crossed).
According to ABC News, the reality TV star admitted in a new sneak peak of the upcoming episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” that she has indeed, “used temporary lip fillers.” The 17-year-old then went on to justify her actions: “It’s just an insecurity of mine and it’s what I wanted to do.” she explained.
Kylie has danced around the topic for some time now. However, you kind of have to feel a bit of sympathy for the girl … being under such harsh scrutiny can’t be easy. “Everyone always picks us apart. I want to admit to the lips, but people are so quick to judge me on everything, so I might have tiptoed around the truth, but I didn’t lie,” she explains.
In another clip, her sister Khloe argues that Kylie will “look like a liar” if she continues to avoid the sensitive topic in interviews and public appearances.
Although Kylie has kept extremely quiet about her choice of cosmetic procedures, she did respond to fans via Twitter after social media blew up with her followers attempting to recreate her larger lips on themselves:
I'm not here to try & encourage people/young girls to look like me or to think this is the way they should look. (Cont…)
