Kim Kardashian Reveals Brother Rob Isn't "Comfortable In His Own Skin"

Kim Kardashian has spoken about brother Rob Kardashian’s recent troubles, revealing that her family and fame aren’t to blame.

The 28-year old is reportedly battling depression and is said to have gained over 100 pounds in the last two years, with Kimmy explaining that he’s still “not comfortable in his own skin”.

Speaking on The Today Show, the socialite was quizzed about Rob’s ongoing issues, with the star stating: “I think he's just going through a phase where he's not comfortable in his own skin. And he is working really hard to get back to where he wants to be.

“I don't necessarily think it's because of the fame. I think it's been circumstances in his life that he just really hasn't dealt with.”

She continued: “Whether it's, you know, the loss of our father, or certain breakups, or, you know, he was extremely close to Lamar and when, you know, Khloé and him broke up, that was really hard on him. So I think it was a couple things."

Last month, Rob caused a stir online after comparing Kim to Gone Girl’s murderer Amy Dunne (played by Rosamund Pike) - with the star later removing the image from his Instagram page.

Kardashian herself is also thought to have poked fun at Rob after she was seen carry a mask of his face during a recent family trip to Armenia.
