Kendall Jenner has been in the media’s eye for the majority of her life. She continues today to be the subject of many magazines’ headlines and peoples’ tweets. She’s accomplished a lot in 2015, including walking the runway for the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Tuesday night.
With all of that attention comes a lot of followers on social media. Kendall recently spoke out about how she handles the inevitable negative comments she receives online. “I’ll randomly catch myself looking at comments on Instagram and Twitter,” Kendall says, “but the second I see a mean one, I literally just put my phone away and forget about it.”

Kendall, who has more than 4.3 million Instagram followers, has had to thoroughly go over what she wants to post to decide if it’s appropriate for such a large amount of people to see her associated with. However, she’s started to let herself post more of the things that she likes, despite what others might say in the comments section. “I know it’s not a bad photo, but someone’s going to say something mean anyway. They’re just bored. You just have to remember that it’s them, not you.”
Kendall knows that, no matter what the comments say, her follower count proves how many people are still cheering her on (spoiler alert: it’s a whole lot). After all, the Kardashian/Jenner clan know more than anyone else how powerful social media followings can be and how far they can get you.
