Kim Kardashian criticised for ‘glorifying extreme diet’ for Met Gala look

Kim Kardashian has been surrounded by massive criticism since her appearance at the Met Gala in a dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in 1962.  

The reality television star revealed that she lost 16 pounds in three weeks to fit in the iconic dress for the glamour-filled night.

"I always thought she [Marilyn] was extremely curvy," the Skims mogul told Vogue.

"I imagined I might be smaller in some places where she was bigger and bigger in places where she was smaller. So, when it didn't fit me, I wanted to cry because it [the dress] can't be altered at all," she added.

Kardashian revealed that she ran on a treadmill, wore a sauna suit twice a day, and ate the "cleanest vegetables and protein" amid her strict diet for wearing the dress for just a few minutes.

Seemingly in response to Kardashian's revelation, "Riverdale" actress Lili Reinhart shared a post disapproving the diet culture on social media.

Reacting to her dieting confessions, fans took over Twitter to slam Kardashian for 'glorifying' weight loss to fit in a 'perfect dress'.

"Kim Kardashian's comments on losing 16 pounds in 3 weeks are vile. Glorifying rapid weight loss when so many young women follow and admire her, no wonder eating disorders are rife," one fan's tweet read, according to reports.  "She should not be broadcasting it ever, let alone to her followers."

"Sick message from Kim K to glorify losing weight to fit in the 'perfect dress'? Like hey impressionable youth if you can't fit your clothes just lose weight to look perfect, no matter the cost right. Don't accept yourself, change yourself right Kimmy?" read another tweet.
