Kylie Jenner has reminded body-shamers that she gave birth, after she was criticised for her post-baby body.

On Wednesday, a fan account shared a 2017 photo of Jenner from before she’d given birth to daughter Stormi in 2018.

The photo prompted one person to comment that the 22-year-old looked “so skinny”.

“Wow she’s so skinny here,” the commenter wrote, to which another person replied: “She was better.”

In response to the body-shaming exchange, the Kylie Cosmetics founder wrote: “I birthed a baby.”

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star’s response was captured in a screenshot shared to the Instagram account CommentsbyCelebs, where Jenner was applauded for shutting down the criticism about her body.

“You tell them girl,” one person commented.

Another said: “Didn’t even deserve a comment but great answer.”

Others suggested that Instagram ban body-shaming comments.

“Can IG just ban all fat-shamers honestly, I’ve had enough,” they wrote.

In 2018, the reality star opened up about her body insecurities after giving birth to Stormi on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where she told sister Kim that she feels her “hips have spread for life”.

“Like my favourite jeans, they’re never going to fit me again,” Jenner said.
