"Kendall hates traveling," the insider said, "and she's upset about her acne. Plus she feels snubbed by other models who are jealous of her success." (She's also felt insecure about up-and-coming star Kaia Gerber.)
The oldest Jenner sister is now reevaluating her whole life, including her romance with 29-year-old NBA star Blake Griffin. Their relationship is part of the reason Kendall feels overwhelmed. Blake's ex dragged the model into the couple's custody battle and she "was mortified," the insider said. "She tries to keep her dating life quiet, so she felt so exposed. It must be lonely for her."
