Keke Palmer has had a dig at Kylie Jenner for being a bad role model for young women because she believes she has completely changed who she is to fit in to the modern stereotype of what women are told they should look like.
The Scream Queens actress says social media makes it hard for people to remain true to themselves, and has used Kylie, 19, as an example of why that’s so sad.
Talking to Yahoo Beauty, Keke said that social media, and the internet in general, has become so judgmental that people will either put themselves down before a troll gets the chance to comment, or they conform to what they are being told is the way they should look. And she believes the Kardashians are a big part of the problem.
“In the sense of the Kardashians, it’s like I’m going to show you so much perfect and be everything a woman should be or everything a man would like or love. And I’m going to be exactly that so you can’t bully me anymore.
“Specifically in the situation with Kylie, where you’ve had a young girl people have seen on television since she was a kid and they literally told her she was so ugly… the ugly person in the family.
“She went and did apparently everything the world deems as beautiful. The even crazier part is that everybody loves her for it.
“You can be profitable for not being who you truly are,” she added.
“That’s the thing we really have to be careful of and why I’m so honest about everything I’m going through — whether that’s sadness, happiness, depression, anger, boredom, whatever it may be. We all go through it.”
