Kris Jenner has accused “cruel” trolls of causing mental health issues.
The reality TV star has criticized the way some people choose to use social media to be “mean and critical.”
“I have a real problem with bullies and people who are mean and critical online. It’s unfortunate, but there are a lot of people who feel like they need to sound off about somebody else, and it’s cruel,” she said to Los Angeles Magazine.
“It affects people’s mental health. I cannot imagine in a trillion years weighing in on somebody publicly and knowing that it would hurt someone’s feelings,” Jenner added.
The Kardashians family matriarch and mom-ager — who suggested trolls do so because they’re “very unhappy within their own life” — insisted she tries not to notice what other people say online.
“I don’t know how or where that comes from; most times it’s somebody that’s very unhappy within their own life. It’s a shame that our society has come to this. The good news is, I don’t read comments. For the most part I don’t pay attention. I’m too busy. I have 12 jobs,” she added.
However, Jenner pointed out she is still able to “laugh at herself” and that she’s a huge fan of social media star Yuri Lamasbella, who has made her name by spoofing the Kardashians.
“She’s hysterical. The Post-It note fingernails are my favorite part. I love it so much. And her impression of Kourtney — and just all of us … you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and she makes me giggle,” she said.
“This is a girl who I hope somebody’s paying. I wish I was her manager because I want her to make a lot of money for whatever she’s doing. She’s adorable,” Jenner said.
And the TV celebrity also pointed out that while “people occasionally talk about the haters,” they make up a “tiny percentage” of those talking about her and her famous family.
“You can’t focus on the negative; you have to really embrace the positive,” Jenner added.
