Yet, behind the campaign there was an effort not to laugh: Kim Kardashian had to push hard to get the former model to pose for her and “get out of early retirement,” as the former supermodel said with amusement. “[Kim] he told me he saw me on the cover of Sports Illustratedbut she hadn’t noticed how much I was really prosperous and curvyTyra Banks explained.
“Then seeing my body live, he explained to me that, unknowingly, I helped her in her personal path of self-acceptance“. At that point, their conversation «from a superficial level it got much deeperand convinced me to pose for her ».
Kim Kardashian also intervened underlining how much her brand was born “just to support all women»In their path of acceptance. Too bad that, this time, the goal was centered only in words.
