Keke Palmer used Kylie Jenner to take aim at what she feels are society's unrealistic beauty standards for women.
The outspoken actress shared a before-and-after photo of Jenner on Instagram Wednesday with a powerful message that unintentionally shades the "Keeping Up With Kardashians" star.
"We have settled for knock off truth in our actual reality because
it's socially acceptable to lie for likes. Looking at this photo above I
couldn't help but stop dead in my tracks because even though I do feel
like this family sets an example that it's good to change for societies
affection, how can you blame them?" she posted with the photo. "We don't
think that this young woman deserves the attention she receives because
of the message it sends but we don't even think about the fact that for
years the whole world damn near agreed that she was ugly."
"A CHILD, that girl was a child and she was bullied and named ugly
and not as a character but as HERSELF ... And unlike some that
experience such ridicule she had the $$$ to change, she 'fixed' what the
world said was broken and it worked!" Palmer declares. "Now you are mad
that it was that easy? When the generation has already been force fed
to love things that are false and appear as real."
The "Scream Queens" star goes on to address the implications of bullying and calls for self love.
"We are confused! So many of us on who we should be and how we should
act, who we should like and how we should pursue them. It's all been
brought to another level because being fraudulent is our countries most
popular trend. If only we could accept one another instead of bullying
each other into change. We wouldn't be so confused or misunderstanding
all of these mixed messages that ultimately tell us to trade attention
for respect and love for possession," she says.
"We could instead let
our differences TEACH us something new instead of walking around
looking, acting and being the same. WE DIFFERENT FOR A REASON."
This isn't the first time the 23-year-old actress has been vocal about her opinions. Palmer was openly against Donald Trump for president and fired back at internet trolls who opposed her views.
