Kylie Jenner Instagrammed a new swimsuit photo (from a magazine shoot) a few days ago. The original caption read, “Yes, I gained weight there I said it so u don’t have too.” She later deleted the caption and left it simply as “behind the scenes.” This makes me sad for her. Over and over again, we see celebrities get body shamed on the internet. Selena Gomez addressed the trolls with a “people are so mean, it’s exhausting.” Iggy Azalea dealt with bullying over cellulite. Kylie has heard a lot of criticism of her looks, which may have something to do with her newfound interest in plastic surgery.

Now Kylie, who is still only 17 (despite what Tyga thinks), felt the need to preempt the trolls with a caption. I don’t blame her for feeling insecure. Kylie’s Instagram comments can be pretty scary, and this photo drew over 55,000 responses, which are almost impossible to monitor. I wouldn’t even look at the comments if I was Kylie.

Here’s something interesting. Nicki may have called out Tyga for dating underage Kylie in the “Feeling Myself” video. Tidal still claims exclusive access to the video, but Clevver Music put together a highlights reel. At one point, Nicki wears a jersey that reads “pervert 17.” Radar points out how Nicki and Tyga fell out after she accused him of leaking her “Truffle Butter” song. She called him “disrespectful,” and this jersey sure looks like shade.
