Kim Kardashian Reflects on Backlash for Naming Her Shapewear Line 'Kimono': 'I Want to Really Take It All In'

Kim Kardashian is on the cover of WSJ. Magazine‘s first-ever all-digital issue, out now.

Here’s what the 38-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians mogul had to say…

On the controversy surrounding the name of her Kimono shapewear line: “You would think we would have obviously thought it through a little bit deeper. I’m the first person to say, OK, of course, I can’t believe we didn’t think of this. I obviously had really innocent intentions. But, let’s listen. And I want to really listen. And I want to really take it all in…I do love Japan. My husband was in Japan when all of this was happening. It’s a place that we love and go to. I have such respect.”

On deciding to change the line’s name: “We’re figuring it all out now…I do realize, though, that there might be more eyes on me and my brand. And so I have to tune it out and really learn and really grow and have to realize that maybe there is a different standard. Do I feel held to a higher standard? I’ll take responsibility for that and do the right thing.”

On her body insecurity after pregnancy: “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.”
