You really are not just my favorite prize model.
But you're my friend now.
Aren't we friends?
We are friends.
Yeah.
Because at first I was concerned that we weren't.
Why?
Because you told Jimmy Fallon that he was your friend.
No.
Ellen, we text.
Yes.
We text.
I don't text with Jimmy.
Good.
OK.
I just want to make sure.
We're next level.
OK.
Good.
Yes.
Making sure.
Your pictures on Instagram are awesome.
And you feel to me in a space--
[CHEERING]
I mean, there's confidence there that I have not
seen in a while.
Do you feel that?
Yeah.
I do feel that.
And I think it's because I've been--
so I've been working on myself for the past year,
more so than I've ever worked on myself.
I've really surrendered to the process of just learning
to love yourself.
And I feel like it shows through my pictures.
And I post more bathing suit pictures online.
And I want to show my fans that it's possible that they
can get to that self-love too.
Yeah.
So first of all, you look great.
So any criticism is ridiculous.
I don't even understand it.
I really don't.
But you get so much attention for these.
And there's one in particular that got a lot of attention.
Explain to me this one.
Yeah.
So I actually was very hesitant about posting that,
because I didn't love my legs in it.
And every time you look at a picture of yourself,
you critique it.
You I'm a perfectionist.
So I decided to post it anyways, because I thought,
you know what, it's me.
It's who I am.
And I love my body.
So I'm just going to post it.
And I've taken away the power from the negative comments
and the haters by not listening to them.
And if I do see it, I just feel sorry for them,
because who leaves a negative comment on somebody's profile
on the internet?
You have to be kind of sad to do that.
So I've taken away the power, and it just feels great.
Can you tell me what's wrong with your legs there?
I don't see anything wrong with those legs.
Thank you.
I just am a perfectionist.
And just I don't know.
You look great.
And you know this.
You did this documentary.
And you talk about eating disorders.
You talk about everything that you've gone through.
And I think it's really important that young girls
and boys out there don't get the message you're
supposed to all look the same and all
supposed to be rail thin.
And I think you look fantastic and healthy.
And that's what you look like right there.
[CHEERING]
I posted it because I look so happy.
Like that's what I love about that picture
is I look very happy.
Right.
You're smiling and you're happy.
And you should be happy.
And you're healthy.
And so I talk about this documentary.
And I saw it a long time ago.
So if you haven't seen her documentary-- what is it
called again?
Simply Complicated.
And it is so good, and so raw and honest.
You share so much about yourself.
And were you nervous?
And how do you feel now after it's out?
After it's out I was very nervous to talk about some
of the eating disorder issues, because it's
something that I still struggle with
and that I'm in recovery from.
But it's a process.
And I felt like I really wanted to be
open and honest with my fans.
And I could have shown the documentary and it
been this happy ending story.
But it wouldn't have been realistic.
Like I still deal with things.
And I wanted to show my fans that it's still
a daily struggle with certain issues, but I'm fighting hard.
And I want to show my fans that you
can continue to fight hard and live the life that you deserve.
Good.
[CLAPPING]
And I think that's why people like you
so much, because you're so honest,
and you share what everybody goes through.
Everyone has some type of struggle.
And they're not all the same struggles.
But everyone has something, some demon they're dealing with.
And I think that's just part of being a human being.
And the best thing you can do is just be honest about it
and try to get better every single day with whatever it is.
Totally.
You're going on tour soon with DJ Khaled.
Yes.
It's actually called the Tell Me You Love Me Tour.
All right.
It's a great name.
I love that song, by the way.
Thanks.
I just got so excited to say it out loud because it's
the first time I'm saying it out loud.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And so it's with DJ Khaled.
DJ Khaled and Kehlani.
Do you know what he's saying half the time?
No.
[LAUGHTER]
No.
He has these catchphrases that are amazing.
And I've decided that I'm going to use some of them
in my conversations with people.
I think I'm going to start using "bless up" as one of them.
Like bless up.
Uh-huh.
What else?
Secure the bag I think is one of them.
Don't know that one.
I don't know that one either.
But I think I'm going to start using it.
He says a lot of things.
And then he also says, know what I'm saying?
And I want to go, no, I don't.
[LAUGHTER]
I don't know what you're saying.
I'm glad you're asking cause I don't know what you're saying.
Yes.
But bless up to him.
