Kim Kardashian has revealed that she suffered a lot during her first pregnancy, when the internet and media compared her to the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.

It's about 2013, when Kim was expecting her first child - daughter North, while Kate was expecting Prince George.

During an appearance on the We Are Supported By podcast with executives Kristen Bell and Monica Padman, she recalled seeing news articles comparing her to a whale and said the media "brutalized" her. Kim said that because of this she did not like to be pregnant and criticized the media treatment of her.

"It was really, really crazy. They always compared me to Kate Middleton, saying Kate was very weak and Kim like a whale, a weak one and a whale. It was something so bad. I don't think it would happen today, "It killed my self-esteem. I really can't believe it was acceptable and that it was okay," Kardashian said, adding: "But I stayed home and cried all the time."

Kim Kardashian said she was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia while she was pregnant, which caused swelling in her legs and face.

Kim revealed during the interview that it was her ex-husband, Kanye West, who helped her not to care what people thought.
