Kylie Jenner lands on the cover of the latest issue of Elle Canada.
During her sit down with the publication she discusses her dad, Caitlyn Jenner, her mom being against her getting lip injections, relationship with Tyga, the anti-bullying social media campaign she's launched and more.
Check out an excerpt from her conversation with Aliyah Shamsher, photographs of the 18-year old by Max Abadian and behind the scenes footage.
What inspired you to create your social-media anti-bullying campaign, #IAmMoreThan, which launched in September?
“I get bullied all the time over the Internet, and I feel like the bigger I get, the more love and hate comes along with it. But there are so many other people who get bullied way worse than me, and I wanted to share their stories. I wanted to show my fans the people who inspire me, who have been through the darkness of bullying and not only overcome it but done something better with it. And they can use my platform to share their voice. I feel like if I only shared my story about bullying, it wouldn’t be as impactful as hearing other real stories that inspire me.”
How did you find these stories?
“I launched the campaign and created the hashtag #IAmMoreThan. After that, I just started looking through the posts. I literally just look through the hashtags and read each story. The last person I chose sent me a three-minute video to say how thankful he was that I posted his story. It’s really nice, and I feel like people need to hear these stories and realize that bullying is just not okay.”
It seems like you’ve been sharing a bit more of your personal life with fans. [After she turned 18, Jenner went public about her relationship with 25-year-old rapper Tyga.]
“That has been pretty organic. But I do think that if you let people in too deep, it gets hard—your fans get too invested, and then they know when you break up and make up. I don’t want people to know every time we fight or break up, so I’d rather keep some things private.”
One of the topics you’ve been more open to talking about is plastic surgery. You recently caused a media storm when you revealed that you got your lips done.
[Laughs] “When I got my lips done, I literally told no one! I didn’t tell my best friend or even the guy I liked at the time. I really thought it was no one’s business. My mom was super-against it, but I begged her and begged her and she finally let me do it. After I did them, I thought it was so obvious that I didn’t have to say anything. I never denied it because I always told my publicist ‘no lip questions,’ so no one ever asked me. I never said I got them done, but I never denied it either. But people thought I was such a liar!”
One of your role models has always been your dad, Caitlyn Jenner—how has your relationship with her changed this year?
“I just find that because everything is open and honest now, we actually spend a lot more time together. It was really hard for me in the beginning, but now it’s much easier. It’s ‘she’ now, but it was ‘he’ who always had this secret. Now she’s just free and way happier, and it makes me feel more comfortable. It’s cool. She’s the same person—she just looks different.”
