Kim’s Reflection on Cannes and Hollywood

Kim mentioned she was taken aback by the reaction she received following the Oscars, especially after being warmly welcomed during a recent trip to Cannes, France. She had hoped that Hollywood might embrace her differently this time around. “I thought, ‘Perhaps Hollywood is ready to receive me in a different way.’ I was just not prepared for such a negative reaction and it just caught me off guard,” she admitted.

Kim also opened up about her decision to undergo fat injections in her face, explaining that she chose this procedure because it seemed far less invasive than a facelift. “In my opinion, a person has a right to look as good as they can, and I feel better when I look better,” she said. Her honesty underscores a broader conversation about aging gracefully and making choices that align with personal values.
