Kendall Jenner's modeling career is undoubtedly in full bloom. Apart from being named as the latest campaign model of skincare brand Estee Lauder, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cast member has likewise landed her own Vogue spread.

For this reason, it is no surprise if she has her own fair share of bashers. In September, a tabloid published a photo of the 18-year-old while she was strutting Tomy Hilfiger's runway at the New York Fashion Week. The photo showed her legs filled with alleged cellulites. The headline read, "You're Too Fat for Runway."

While she remained mum that time, the younger Jenner recently opened up to Nightline about the digitally-altered image: "I think the picture was Photoshopped, so that was...not cool."

When asked why she refused to speak out that time, she claims to have thick skin: "I don't feel the need, you know what I mean? Let them do what they want to do, let them sit behind a computer and write stupid things about a young girl and make her feel bad about herself. I think it's cruel and I think it's evil."

Known as the silent one in the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cast members, the runway star did not deny that Bruce and Kris Jenner's divorce affected her. Instead of focusing on the negative outcome, she claims that she's trying "to think of it as it's not the worst thing that could have happened."

"I still am so close with both my dad and my mom," she added. "Nothing has really changed, except for the fact that now my dad lives on a beach, which is awesome."

Being thick-skinned will do wonders as Kendall Jenner dating Justin Biebers continue to surface. Fans of "Jelena" might be displeased with the romance rumors.

Recently, Selena Gomez posted a cryptic photo on Instagram which some fans assumed as a message for Jenner.
"I am in competition with no one. I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person I was yesterday," read the quote posted by the "Montecarlo" actress.
