Kylie Jenner is slamming rumors about having had cosmetic surgery, and adds that she’s both insulted and a bit hurt by the suggestion that she’s had such procedures done. She wants to remind fans that she’s only 16 years old and that both her face and body are still changing.
Some sites and print publications have said lately that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has undergone a wealth of procedures, and that’s why she’s becoming better looking all the time.
It’s sad to see young women Kylie Jenner’s age set up as targets of these mean spirited rumors.
Kylie took to Twitter to express her exasperation with the ridiculous claims–and to set some of those fueling such rumors straight.
these plastic surgery rumors hurt my feelings to be honest and are kinda insulting

And then just in case it wasn’t clear enough, she added this one, too.
Just in case anyone forgot.. I'm 16

It’s important for people to remember that in addition to only being 16–a time when everything about her is changing–that the young starlet has always had access to some amazing makeup artists who have constantly made Kylie Jenner look her best. Now that she is growing up a bit and doing her own hair and makeup she is going to look a bit different.
Big sister Kim Kardashian was accused of having undergone cosmetic surgery procedures earlier this year after she suddenly looked quite svelte after having given birth to baby North West.
A fan came to Kim’s defense.
“Why is it so hard to believe she works out hard for her body? Let her be skinny in peace! You look great!”
“Preach! LOL thank you,” Kim Kardashian replied. “It sucks when people make up surgery or photoshop lies when I am so disciplined & work so hard! Just trying to motivate others & show anyone struggling with weight they can totally achieve whatever they want if they are dedicated!”
Surely lots of fans are in Kylie Jenner’s court, too. One day she will be able to laugh off these claims like her big sisters all have at one time or another. For now, however, hopefully the rude and hurtful remarks will stop and those making them will realize Kylie is a teenager and should be allowed to grow up surrounded by some semblance of peace–even from the paparazzi and the tabloids.
