Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala look and weight loss is still a hot topic of discussion.
The SKIMS creator lost 16 pounds in three weeks in order to wiggle her way into the ICONIC Marilyn Monroe dress.
Many on social media criticized her for promoting unhealthy weight loss habits.
She wore a sauna suit twice a day, ate tomatoes and cut out all carbohydrates and sugars for three weeks in order to lose 16 pounds.
In a new interview with the New York Times, Kim explained her Met Gala weight loss was comparable to an actor losing weight or gaining weight for a role.
“To me it was like, ‘OK, Christian Bale can do it for a movie role and that is acceptable,’” she explained.
“Even Renée Zellweger gained weight for a role. It’s all the same to me,” she argued.
Bale lost 62 pounds for 2004’s “Machinist” and gained 43 pounds for 2013’s “American Hustle.”
“I wasn’t saying, ‘Hey everyone, why don’t you go lose this weight in a short period of time?’” Kim noted.
