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.”

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.”
