In the October 20 episode of "The Kardashians," Jenner got candid about how she felt whenever people made specific comments about her and her famous Kardashian-Jenner clan. During a confessional in the reality show, the supermodel revealed that contrary to what most people thought, she was not a "mean girl."

"Anything I do gets hate. I could be walking down the street doing absolutely nothing, and somebody always has something bad to say." Jenner further revealed that she was hurt because people constantly made assumptions about her without knowing her.

"I think the one that hurts the most is that people think I'm a mean girl," the reality star continued per E! News. "'Cause that's just not the case. It can be upsetting when someone is questioning your character. And if only people knew me."

The 818 Tequila founder further revealed that she felt overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas and wanted to be in a "complete opposite" situation. The model described her perfect life as one on "a farm in Wyoming with a ton of animals." "That's where I wanna be," she added.

Jenner also admitted that she had problems knowing who her real friends were because of how famous her family was. The reality star recalled a time in middle school when a number of her friends wanted to come over to be a part of the famous "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" at the time.

She explained, "They just wanted to come over to be on it. So my walls went up then. I also just get uncomfortable; I never want to be like, 'Hey, do you want to be on my show?'"
