On Tuesday, Mrs. Bieber wrote to her Instagram Story:

“ok let’s get into the pinky conversation.. because I’ve made fun of myself about this for forever so I might as well just tell everyone else why they’re so crooked and scary.”

Per additional outlets, the 23-year-old then shared a screenshot from Wikipedia information about a condition called Ectrodactyly, and wrote:

“I have this thing called Ectrodactyly and it causes my pinky fingers to look the way they do. It’s genetic, I’ve had it my whole life. So people can stop asking me “wtf is wrong with her pinky fingers” here is what’s wrong! Lol”

Taking a look at RareDiseases.org sheds some additional light on the condition:

“Split-hand deformity is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in some families and inherited as an X-linked recessive trait in other families. It may also occur as a result of a random (sporadic) mutation. When one limb is affected, the cause is often a new gene mutation, whereas when four limbs are affected, the cause is often an inherited gene mutation.”

Kendall Jenner‘s BFF concluded the information session and penned:

“so in conclusion please stop roasting me about my pinky fingers.”

For someone in the spotlight, Hailey has been refreshingly honest about her physical and mental health. The insightful style icon explained in an April 2019 interview with Glamour:

“There was a time in the industry when it was negative to talk about that kind of stuff. Nobody wanted to talk about what was really happening, and everybody felt like there was this pressure to keep up a facade—or pressure to keep up this perfect lifestyle and make everything look really good from the outside. [Everyone would say,] ‘Oh, we’re really happy. I’m really happy. I’m doing fine,’ when really it was like you’re kind of crumbling on the inside. And I think I used to do that a little bit. People would ask me, ‘How are you?’ and I’d be like, ‘I’m fine; I’m good.’ But really I’d be crying in my hotel room all night. You just have to be honest that life sucks sometimes. It’s hard. Things are difficult. I just think the more we are open about it, the more we can help people find solutions.”

Had U ever noticed Hail’s condition, Perezcious readers?? Thanks for always keeping it so real!
