After Kardashian made that comment, The Kardashians cut to her speaking in a confessional. While addressing the camera, Kardashian addressed why some fans may be surprised by her comments about having to have the lights off.

While addressing the camera, Kardashian brought up the fact that she is comfortable being around people with very little on during a photoshoot. Kardashian then went on to explain that there was something about the intimacy of being intimate with someone that made her deeply insecure.

"It's so weird. But then I can walk out of a photo shoot with 100 people working on set, I can walk out in a thong, but if it's like, you’re there with me, I'm like, 'Wait, don’t look at me! Turn the lights off!'"

For some observers, there is another aspect of the conversation that Kardashian had that would feel very surprising. After all, Kardashian was talking to Scott Disick when she revealed that she insisted on having the lights off while being intimate.

According to Harper's Bazaar, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick met in 2006 and began dating the following year. The former couple went on to have three children together during their on-again, off-again relationship before they split up in 2015.

For many people, it would feel very strange to speak to their brother-in-law about such a private topic. On top of that, Disick and Kourtney Kardashian are exes, so that arguably makes the conversation even more surprising. However, during the same episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian explained why she loved talking to Disick about her personal life.

"I love hanging out with Scott, we’re both single right now so I feel like there’s a lot to talk about and a lot to navigate. He always teaches me to have a sense of humor about it."

Kim Kardashian Admitted That Body-Shamers Ruined Her Self-Confidence

Kim Kardashian is one of the most popular celebrities on Instagram even though fans aren't certain if she posts herself on social media.

While talking to the hosts of the podcast, Kristen Bell and Monica Padman, Kardashian spoke about how the media body-shamed her when she was pregnant. Kardashian then went on to say that the way her body was judged ruined her self-confidence.

"It was really, really crazy. I don't think it would really fly today, but it killed my self-esteem. I can't believe that this was acceptable and that this was okay."

If it wasn't tragic enough that Kardashian has had her self-confidence affected in the long-term, she also suffered immediately. During the podcast interview, Kardashian stated that the body shaming was so bad that she "would sit at home and cry all the time".

Of course, nobody should have to be body-shamed at all, let alone so severely that they are affected that much. Worse yet, pregnant women really shouldn't be treated that way.

On top of all that, according to what Kardashian said during the interview, she had a medical condition that played a role in how harshly she was judged. That only makes the situation even more terrible.

"I had this condition called preeclampsia and I didn't know that I had it. It's over-swelling in your feet and face. I had to deliver six weeks early with an emergency delivery and then I had another condition called Placenta accreta with both of my babies. It was insane."
