The Kardashians are known for pumping their bodies full of filler and going under the knife to achieve their coveted bodies. In a new interview, Kim Kardashian was asked if she feels “responsible, even guilty, for setting an unrealistic, unattainable beauty standard.”

“If I’m doing it, it’s attainable,” Kim told Allure magazine in response. “There are so many different beauty standards — whether it’s Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, Marilyn Monroe. When I was a teenager, [the look] was just blonde waifs. My mentality was never like, you see them on TV or in magazines and pick who you want to be. It was always: Be yourself, find beauty in everything.”

In the same interview, Kim maintained that the only cosmetic procedure that she's done to her face was "a little bit of Botox," but has "chilled." She denied “ever” having any filler in her face or even eyelash extensions. “I’ve never had eyelash extensions. I’ve never done anything. I have a drop of mascara on today. I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips,” she stated, adding that her eyebrows are also real.

Although Kim says she is pretty much natural in the face, she did admit, “I really, genuinely care about looking good. I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments.”

The interview has since sparked backlash, with people taking to social media to call out Kim’s “out of touch” and “delusional” claim that her beauty standards are attainable.
