The 36-year-old spoke with her husband Tye Strickland on their Logically Irrational podcast on Thursday, trying make it clear that she wasn’t dissing the momma of four:

“I was a mom, looking at a woman who has this unattainable look to her and just said, ‘I don’t want our young girls to look [at the photo] and say, I can be like that,’ when really we can’t.In the photo, she’s wearing a corseted dress. Her waist was the size of her head. Her hips were obviously the normal size of her hips, and it looked like Jessica Rabbit… I’m not saying that as a diss. I’m clearly not the only person who noticed how abnormally small [her waist] was. She even had to point out a video of everything that was underneath it.”

She concluded, clarifying that she was not commenting on Miz West’s bod, but rather her “very exaggerated look” in her Mugler dress:

“I was very careful not to put down her looks. I went, ‘I don’t want to say she looks weird, I don’t want to say she looks ugly. I don’t want to say she’s a bad mom.’ If what I said came across as shaming, I am truly, 100 percent sorry. That is never my intent. And I never meant to say anything really bad about it. My only point was, the kids out there, let’s give them something attainable to strive for.”

The Bachelor Pad alum initially made headlines on Monday for posting a side-by-side of the makeup mogul at the 2015 and 2019 events to her Instagram story:

“Not natural. And not something young ones should be looking up to. (not to mention it doesn’t even look right…..) #metgalafail.”

Harsh!!

In an IG story video on Tuesday, Rycroft began to address the controversy:

“Guess I’m going to have to talk about the Kardashian drama I somehow created with my post yesterday. I have a lot to say about this, so I’ll have to do it on this week’s podcast to get it all out… I don’t like feeling like I’m in trouble.”

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant wasn’t the old one who took issue with the unbelievable look, with many accusing the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star of manipulating her body for the fashion event. However, Mrs. West’s personal trainer Melisa Alcantra took to her own IG story to share details about her client‘s snatched waist:

“To make things clear: 1. This dress is corseted BUT 2. Kim trains her ass off 6 days a f**king week, she wakes up early AF and is dedicated. 3. I paved the road for her but SHE did the work! MOST IMPORTANTLY I don’t give a s**t about your opinions on her body, if you think [it’s] fake or not! I see her every morning, I see her train and I see her sweat and I see all the work she does outside the gym and THAT is commendable!”
