Someone come get your girl. Kim Kardashian has officially ventured into territory that’s even strange by typical Kardashian, over-sharing, mega privileged, hyper out-of-touch standards. In a new Instagram story, the infamously famous for nothing celeb posted the results from a health test that essentially said her bones were fine. Kim scored a 1.3 Z-score on whatever scale someone determined to measure bones, which put her in the 69-93rd percentile of people with bones. But when the practitioner misspoke and told Kim she was in the 93-97th percentile (the error of which she did not notice even though she was looking directly at it), Kim giddily commented alongside the clip, “You hear that?!?!!!! My bones [are] stronger than 93-97% of people.” So I guess she thinks we should... be competitive about our bones now?
The blunder, while definitely absurd and mildly funny if you emotionally squint, speaks to a darker issue though. Kim K has been making problematic statements about body image for months now. It’s as if she’s been on a press tour promoting being triggering about disordered eating as a brand. It began in May on the red carpet at the Met Gala, when Kim bragged about how much weight she’d lost, and the extreme dieting she put herself through in a short period of time to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s famous 1962 gown. She was widely criticized for her comments, and in response, compared her weight loss to an actor getting fit for a film.
