Kim Kardashian Says She Can Relate To “Framing Britney Spears”

March 5, 2021 / Posted by:

The New York Times’ documentary Framing Britney Spears has been out for a minute, and Kim Kardashian has finally got around to watching it. To be fair, she was a little busy filing for divorce to catch it on TV. There are numerous things you can takeaway from Framing Britney Spears, like that her father’s motivations for his daughter’s success might have been boat ownership, and that Justin Timberlake is pretty much exactly who you think he is. Well, what Kim got from it was that she can totally relate to Britney Spears. Kim says she understands what it’s like to have the press on your ass 24-7.

Kim has made all her money from the press being on her ass. But Kim is specifically talking about the ways in which the media has behaved in a toxic way towards her. Kim hopped on Instagram and posted a series of Instagram Stories about how she could see herself in Britney’s story. As Framing Britney Spears points out, Britney was hounded by paps in the mid 2000s, and was front-page fodder for tabloid magazines, blogs, etc…. Again, Kim’s oxygen is attention and camera flashes, so paparazzi can calm down – she still loves you! Her issue is with how the media reported on her first pregnancy with her daughter North West in 2013. Britney, Kim totally sympathizes with you, because the media made Kim (checks notes) scared she might never lose the baby weight. via Entertainment Tonight:

“The way the media played a big role in her life the way it did can be very traumatizing and it can really break even the strongest person. No matter how public someone’s life may seem, no one deserves to be treated with such cruelty or judgment for entertainment. Looking at all of the photos of myself online and in magazines made me feel so insecure and I had this fear of wondering if I would ever get my pre baby body back. I was shamed on a weekly basis with cover stories that made my insecurities so painful I couldn’t leave the house for months after. It really broke me.”

Kim says she gained 60 lbs. while pregnant with North, which she attributes to preeclampsia swelling. She added that it made her feel like shit when she’d read people comparing her to SeaWorld’s Shamu, and that she cried every night over what her body looked like.

Kim went on to say that she took all the hate and channeled it into motivation to “get where I am today,” which might “skinny and hot again.” Awww, we love a story of body-positive self-acceptance. But Kim would like to leave everyone with the message that bullying hurts, and you don’t know what someone is going through. Which is kind of what we learned from Framing Britney Spears. And I think that’s a message that can easily be applied to Kim’s life. Making fun of something Kim has no control over? Why? Especially when there are socially acceptable ways to make fun of Kim, like the 1.4 million tacky-ass examples of how she wastes money.
