    Remember when Kim Kardashian was photographed on a beach vacation sporting some cellulite? To be clear, cellulite is not big deal, completely normal, and nothing to be ashamed of. But having paparazzi photograph your nearly naked body when you're not prepared for it is a big deal, and in a clip from Sunday's Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim fully freaks out when she discovers the images online.

    "Oh my god," she says as she scrolls through a phone in the clip above. "F*ck. I don't get it! I literally don't look like this!"

    "It's just this scrutiny that we get all the time," Kim continued during an on-camera interview. "We try to avoid that, so I thought, 'Okay, I'm going on a private vacation, not posting, I'm doing all the steps to try to be as private and discreet as possible.' And then you take pictures and if they're not, like, 'perfect' people just like body shame you and criticize you."

    Kim Kardashian Insists Those Viral Cellulite Pics Were Faked, But Can We Talk About How Cellulite Is Actually Okay Please?

    This isn't the first time Kim's talked about the images:

    "I saw these awful photos of myself when I was on a trip in Mexico and people were Photoshopping them and sharpening them, and they're the worst photos," Kardashian said on The View. "I definitely was not in my best shape. I hadn't worked out in about twelve weeks, I'd had two surgeries on my uterus. We documented that on the show. But I was already not feeling like myself and then when people were like sharpening them and making them look way worse, and then those were going around, I was like, 'Okay, I'm going to get it together,' and I started working out with this bodybuilder girl."
