Kendall Jenner says she doesn’t feel like a Kardashian

Kendall Jenner says she doesn’t feel like a Kardashian.

Well just in case the Kardashian family didn’t have enough new drama to discuss at their 4th of July family barbecue this year, Kendall Jenner offered up a new truth bomb that should give them plenty to talk about. In the cover story of the Wall Street Journal’s Magazine Summer Digital issue, Kendall Jenner made the rather shocking and salacious statement that she doesn’t much feel like a Kardashian sometimes.

Kendall was only 11 years old when Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on E! and launched her family to household-name status. Though the plot mainly followed her older sisters’ career plans — from traveling the world to starting their former clothing business Dash — Kendall and younger sister Kylie Jenner became known for their pre-teen shenanigans on screen.

Kendall stressed that she’s not trying to judge her family, but she does admit to feeling “out of place” among her siblings. “I was born into this life, but I didn’t choose this life,” Kendall said, also mentioning that she was “not built” for stardom. “I’m not good at it. I do it, and I’ve learned how to do it,” she said.

According to Jenner, “I obviously understand I fall under the umbrella of the Kardashian sisters. It’s just weird to me…because I am just like my dad in so many ways. I’m such a Jenner, in my opinion,” she added, referring to herself a “daddy’s girl.”

Jenner says she even attempted to drop her last name during the early days of her modeling career to distance herself from the Kardashian-Jenner family. She also didn’t want her family members in the audience of her fashion shows.

As one of the middle Kardashian-Jenner siblings, including Kourtney, Kim and Khloé Kardashian and Kylie (as well as brother Rob, who mostly avoids the spotlight), Kendall is aware of how fame looks different for each of them. Now 16 years after their reality TV debut Kendall is just beginning to adjust to the pressures of the industry. Though she’s carved her own path as a model, Kendall still says some of her sisters have a natural grasp on fame — beyond her own understanding. “[Kim’s] like, ‘I used to go to Kitson on Robertson just to get photographed….’ I think she was built for [this life],” she said.
