Kim Kardashian emotional after watching 'Framing Britney Spears': 'remember a time when I felt that way'

Kim Kardashian is empathetic towards Britney Spears.

The reality TV star watched Spears' New York Times documentary Framing Britney Spears, and she can really relate to the popstar's struggle.

Taking to her Instagram Story on Friday, the mother of four wrote:

“The way the media played a big role in her life … can be very traumatizing and it can really break even the strongest person. No matter how public someone’s life may seem, no one deserves to be treated with such cruelty or judgment for entertainment.”

“When I was pregnant with North I was suffering from preeclampsia, which made me swell uncontrollably,” she continued. “I gained 60 pounds and delivered almost 6 weeks early and I cried every single day over what was happening to my body, mainly from the pressures of being constantly compared to what society considered a healthy pregnant person should look like — as well as being compared to Shamu the Whale by the media.”

“Framing Britney Spears” talks about the popstar's journey in Hollywood. Spears went through a lot of scrutiny in the media which eventually disturbed her mental peace.
