Kim Kardashian Says She Has to Work Harder Than 'the Average Person'

Kim Kardashian has opened up on the toll being an influencer is taking on her during an episode of the family's Hulu show, The Kardashians.

The reality star admitted she was a "workaholic" and felt pressure to work harder than the "average person," running her SKIMS shapewear line, cosmetics brand and making sure everyone looks good on social media.

Kardashian, 41, and her sister Khloé, 38, headed to Miami where the latter wanted to let her hair down for a "girls night," but Kim was unable to stop working.

The pair were with friends in their hotel room as Khloé toasted the group of "bad ass boss b****es" and danced to music as they waited for Kim to finish.

Fully made up for the night out in a latex bikini top and matching fitted pants, Kim was on the couch absorbed in her work "approving photos" for Instagram

She could be heard telling staff: "Those were the images from the dinner and inside ... you have approval of all the images inside our SKIMS pop up. I don't trust anybody else to tell me when I look good."

The scene cut to Khloé in a confessional complaining about waiting for Kim in the hotel.

"You guys, I'm not sitting in a quiet hotel room. I'm going to party like it's 2009 and I'm taking Miami back," she said.

But Kim responded in her own confession: "B***h, you'll thank me later because I'm editing all our photos to delete all the bad ones and they have to go to print tonight."

"I'll tell you if Malika looks bad I'll delete it even if I look amazing so no one else is going to look at 10 people in a photo, but I do."

Kim explained that she wanted to "try to kill as many birds with one stone as possible" while in Miami.

"Of course I'll put on a SKIMS bikini and take pictures just in the glam room with the pretty background. I need content. You guys always like the Instagram grid and that is like a business, honestly," she said addressing the fans.

A producer off-camera put it to Kim that "it seems like you have a hard time relaxing, Kim." She agreed: "I do I definitely have a hard time relaxing, there's so much that has to be done, especially when I'm away from my kids."

The group had earlier been out to dinner where Kim opened up on what running her shapewear line was really like. She revealed that she does, "all the campaigns, all the fabrics, all the styles, like I really do everything."

"I'm definitely like a workaholic, it's probably a problem," Kim added.

In another confession, Kim admitted feeling guilty about trying not to let Khloé down because she "hasn't been out of the house."

"I hate saying it's a mom's night out but it really is, so it's a really big deal that I got my sister and all my friends out," Kim said.

But later in a confession she opened up on why she was a workaholic.

"I always felt like I had to work a little bit harder than the average person just to get a little bit of respect," Kim admitted. "And once you start working and once you start seeing the results and proving yourself, how do you stop?

"I've always wanted people to see who I really am and I'm not going to stop until I prove every single person wrong."

Kim's admission comes after she was slammed for "tone deaf" comments she made about women working in the business.

"Get your f***ing a** up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days," said controversially during an interview with Variety alongside her mom, Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney and Khloé.

Thousands of people condemned the statement as out of touch.

"The kartrashians are so unbelievably tone deaf. We are working Kimberly, we just weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouths and rich parents. I don't want advice on how to be a business woman from women who were born with advantages that I do not and will not ever have," wrote Twitter user @maaadsky and was one of many to complain about Kim's interview.

After her comments sparked a wave of backlash across social media, one of her former employees revealed she barely earned any money while working for the Kardashians on their former apps.

Jessica DeFino took to Twitter in March to say she "[sic] worked days nights & weekends" as an editor on the Kardashian apps in 2015.

"[I] could only afford groceries from the 99 Cents Only Store, called out 'sick' more than once bc I couldn't put gas in my car to get to the office, & was reprimanded for freelancing on the side," she wrote.

DeFino added: "The wildest thing about that job: I saw firsthand how the most famous women in the world Frankensteined an impossible standard of beauty, pushed the rest of us to 'keep up' with them, weaponized that standard of beauty to sell products, and *still* never felt good enough."

At the time, Newsweek contacted representatives of Kim Kardashian for comment.

The Kardashians announced in December 2018 they would close down their apps within a year.

"We've had an incredible experience connecting with all of you through our apps these past few years but have made the difficult decision to no longer continue updating in 2019," Kim Kardashian said in a statement.

"We truly hope you've enjoyed this journey as much as we have, and we look forward to what's ahead."
