Kourtney, every member of this family has kept themselves indulged
in numerous controversies. Amidst such fame and fan base, Kendall
Jenner has maintained a relatively clean image over the years. She
has been thoroughly mysterious about crucial areas of her life. But as they say, everyone's got some
secrets, so does Kendall Jenner. So what are some shady truths about Kendall Jenner? Is there
something that she hides from the world just for
the sake of maintaining her public image? If yes, then
what is it about? Questions like these are the major highlights of today's video.
So sit back and stay with us till the end to know it all.

By the time Kendall Jenner was born, she already had three sisters and a mother whose name began
with "K." It's only natural her name would follow suit. In her book, Kris Jenner... and All Things
Kardashian, the Kardashian matriarch discussed how she went to Kathie Lee-Gifford, Kendall's
godmother, for advice on what to name her next daughter. "I started throwing
out names to Kathie Lee," Jenner wrote in her memoir.
"'Kameron'... 'Kendall' and she stopped me at 'Kendall.'" It was a great
choice. Kameron Jenner just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Her middle name also has an interesting origin. Kendall Jenner's mom was close with Nicole Brown
Simpson — in fact, according to Slate, she was considered
"one of Nicole's five best girlfriends." In her memoir, Kris wrote about how she chose to honor
her late friend by giving Kendall the middle name Nicole.
Though she's clearly at home on the runway these days, as a child
Kendall Jenner had a strong passion for animals. She told Vogue that as a kid,
she spent much of her time riding ponies. If reality TV hadn't gotten involved,
her career trajectory could've been completely different. "I was going
to be a professional horseback rider and then a vet," she said
in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. At this point, she's too tall to be a jockey — but we
bet she'd look great modeling equestrian clothing! Keeping Up With The Kardashians started
filming in 2007 before Kendall Jenner even hit her teen years.
While you'd think growing up in front of the cameras would make it impossible
to ever feel shy, Jenner is proof that isn't true. "I'm
not super open to new people," she told Harper's Bazaar. "Sometimes I'm very
closed off, which annoys me, but I think it's for the best."
Her shyness hasn't impeded her ability to succeed in the fashion world,
however, she felt the effects of it when she was growing up. "I remember crying in
my bedroom about the fact that Kylie had so many friends and I didn't," she explained to Vogue.
While the Kardashians are known for their glitz and glamour,
Kendall Jenner says that's just not her. The self-proclaimed tomboy told Vogue that as a kid,
she "had ATVs and go-carts, and I grew up riding them
all the time." And despite being
a high-fashion model, Jenner revealed to Harper's Bazaar that in reality, she doesn't
put much thought into what she wears when she's not on the runway.
"You'll find me in yoga pants, a T- shirt, and sneakers almost every
day," she explained. "My job is to wear something nice when I work, so
I enjoy doing it then. But when I don't have to, I'd rather just wear something comfortable."
If there's anyone that can
make "comfortable" look high-fashion, it's Jenner. With fame comes fans — and sometimes, fans cross
a line into a whole new category and become fanatics. Unfortunately, Kendall Jenner's
already had to deal with such a fan. According to The Daily
Beast, Jenner came face-to-face with alleged stalker Shavaughn McKenzie in August of 2016.
According to TMZ, this wasn't the first time McKenzie came
far too close to Jenner. He also allegedly "camped out at her West LA condo" before.
Jenner testified against McKenzie, telling the judge, "I've
never been so scared in my life." She secured a restraining order against the stalker.
Despite having over 70 million followers on Instagram and walking runways
with huge names like Karlie Kloss and the Hadid sisters,
Kendall Jenner confesses that she still gets starstruck. So who could be so
big that even a member of the Kardashian empire gets starstruck?
Beyonce, of course. Jenner is one of the most
sought-out models of this generation, so you'd probably never guess she once
dealt with acne and low self-esteem like the rest of us little people.
"I had just started ninth grade when I got my acne," she told Allure in 2015.
Most of us had enough trouble dealing with
breakouts in front of friends and family — imagine having to do it on television for the
whole world to see. "It was not a good time for me — it just killed my self-esteem," she said.
It was not until Jenner
got in front of the camera that she found her confidence. "When I started getting in front of
the camera a lot, I think my confidence started to come out," she explained.
Kendall might be storming it in the fashion world, but behind the scenes, she's suffered a lot.
Kendall revealed in 2016 that she'd been secretly battling stress and
anxiety that gave her both panic attacks and sleep paralysis.
She said: "I'm freaking out because recently I woke up in the middle of
the night and I can't move. "I'm done arguing with people
because everyone says I'm fine, but I don't feel fine. And I promise you
one day when I'm rushed to the hospital then you guys are gonna wake up."
Kris ended up getting a therapist for Kendall,
and once had to fly with her daughter from Los Angeles to
London just so she'd feel comfortable on the plane.
Kendall says she's learned about breathing exercises that help her cope with her anxiety.
In 2015, Caitlyn Jenner, then known as Bruce, appeared on 20/20
to announce that her "brain is much more female than it is male."
She subsequently began to transition, legally changing her name to Caitlyn
Marie Jenner — and changing Kendall's life forever. Caitlyn's
transition wasn't easy for Kendall, who told Interview Magazine that her dad is her role model.
While you've probably heard of the more common phobias like arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and
acrophobia (fear of heights), there are a few phobias that don't make
much sense to those who don't have them. Trypophobia is one
of those fears. This irrational fear of holes affects up to 15 percent of
people, according to a 2013 study — and Jenner is one of them. She revealed in a since-deleted blog
post, "Anyone who knows me knows that I have bad trypophobia,"
and says some things that trigger her phobia are "pancakes, honeycomb or lotus heads."
Apart from that, In a 2014 Interview Magazine spread, Kendall Jenner
revealed she used to lie a lot as a kid. "In kindergarten or first grade,
I would tell people I had tigers living in my attic and a room full of
gold," she said. And while everyone sprinkles a little white lie here and there,
Jenner said that her lies never made much sense.
"I would tell people I was from Hawaii, but I had a Southern accent," she said.
"I was the biggest liar for no reason." Today, Jenner pretty much sticks to the
truth — except for when it comes to her sister, Kylie. "The only
person I lie to is my little sister when I steal her clothes," she said.
It's easy to dismiss Jenner as just another reality TV star
who is famous for being famous, but she consistently asserts the fact that she is
extremely serious about modeling and her future in the industry.
"This is a career — I want this to last for a long time," she
told Vogue. "I want this to be like a Cindy Crawford thing: I want it to last until I am her
age," she went on. And we wish the same for her. Well, that was today's video guys,
