When asked how the family handles the harsh criticism, the momager said, “Everybody’s a critic and I think putting the girls—and Rob now—on magazines definitely sells them but I taught the kids a long time ago that it really starts with when they were younger. I’ve really tried hard to raise strong daughters and give them a sense of self-esteem—really good self-esteem.”

Kris continued to say that her children are “just like any others kids,” and went through “that real chubby stage.”

She explained on The Dr. Oz Show, “They had braces, they were awkward. Rob was chubby and that’s when kids need you the most.”

Regardless of the hate from the public, the Kardashian family overcomes it all by continuing to support one another. “We’re such a close family, that we’re always encouraging one another,” she said. “Because you do get a lot of criticism when you’re in the public eye—constantly—whether you want it or not.”
