Kim Kardashian said that she thinks of herself as an "underdog," saying that her reality television career wasn't "respected."
In an interview with Allure, Kardashian said that she thinks that she's "always just been the underdog." When writer Danielle Pergament questioned how she — the head of a billion-dollar empire — was an underdog, Kardashian cited public perception.
"Being on a reality show and that's not respected," Kardashian explained to Allure. "Feeling like I need to work harder to show you guys that I'm not the person you think."
As an example, Kardashian referenced an incident in which British tabloids reported that she had been "rejected" to attend the Queen's Jubilee in London. The Daily Mail and The Mirror reported that she had been denied tickets to the event by both Buckingham Palace and the BBC, Insider previously reported. However, a source close to Kardashian told Insider that the reports were false and that Kardashian had already returned with her boyfriend Pete Davidson to Los Angeles at the time of the event.
"I was in London with my boyfriend who's filming a movie and we're only here two days," Kardashian told Allure. "But [the headline] is, 'Kim: Rejected!'"
"I think that's also why I love doing the reality show — the chance to show people who I really am," Kardashian told Allure.
