Kim Kardashian West is not sold on cellulite!
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Monday, the KUWTK star opened up about her new shapewear line — whose name (formerly Kimono) will be changed after claims of cultural appropriation.

While speaking to the publication, the 38-year-old admitted she prefers her body looks “all smoothed” than have a dimpled, lumpy appearance.
The social media personality dished:
“I’ll never be a person who says it’s a more positive thing if I show my cellulite… The feeling when I had to wear that corset, [the shapewear] is not that. It’s the second skin that makes me feel comfortable and cozy and all smoothed.”
Miz Kardashian West knows a thing or two about not feeling “comfortable” in her own skin.
After she gave birth to six-year-old daughter North West and three-year-old son Saint West, Kanye West‘s wife gained around 60 pounds.
In regards to the scrutiny she faced:
“It changed my body, my skin… [I got] photographed from every angle… All I have to do is type Kim and Shamu… That really changed my security. It broke my soul for a while.”
Fortunately, she was able to lose the weight with help from a healthy diet and an exercise routine from trainer Melissa Alcantara.
Earlier this month, Kim went on Instagram and revealed the reason why she is changing the moniker of her undergarment line — which comes in sizes XXS-4XL, and nine different color shades.
She wrote:
“Being an entrepreneur and my own boss has been one of the most rewarding challenges I’ve been blessed with in my life. What’s made it possible for me after all of these years has been the direct line of communication with my fans and the public. I am always listening, learning and growing – I so appreciate the passion and varied perspectives that people bring to me. When I announced the name of my shapewear line, I did so with the best intentions in mind. My brands and products are built with inclusivity and diversity at their core and after careful thought and consideration, I will be launching my Solutionwear brand under a new name. I will be in touch soon. Thank you for your understanding and support always.”
Prior to this, the businesswoman defended the name, telling the New York Times:
“I understand and have deep respect for the significance of the kimono in Japanese culture and have no plans to design or release any garments that would any way resemble or dishonor the traditional garment. I made the decision to name my company Kimono, not to disassociate the word from its Japanese roots but as a nod to the beauty and detail that goes into a garment.”
TBH, we wish Kim felt more comfortable about exposing cellulite, as it would set a great example for her fans. All women have it, and it’s really not a big deal. Normalize the lumps and bumps, y’all. Females are fabulous!
