Paul Pierce thinks women today are telling their plastic surgeons "give me the Kim K." The former NBA champion says he blames Kim Kardashian for the way women are hoping to model their physical appearances, asserting that everyone wants to look like her. "I blame Kim Kardashian for the women we see today," Pierce, 48, said on the Monday, December 15 episode of his "The Truth After Dark" podcast. "What we glorify on TV when we see these beautiful women with big old sexy lips and these big old eyelashes and eyebrows and butt and lips banging out the window." "She is one of the most influential women that ever lived and you know she had the plastic surgeries and made it cool to do that," he continued. "I feel like every girl looks like Kim." Everything Khloe Kardashian Has Said About Her Ever-Changing Look Kardashian, 45, has admitted to having several minor cosmetic procedures, including Botox and surgery to have her post-pregnancy stretch marks removed, but she has repeatedly denied having significant work done to her face. "I never had my nose done," she said during the February 2019 Masterclass by Mario Dedivanovic. "Everyone thought I did, and I said wait until I have kids because your real features come out." In a 2022 interview with Allure magazine, she added, "I've never had eyelash extensions. I've never done anything. I have a drop of mascara on today. I've never filled my cheeks. I've never filled my lips." It's not clear if Pierce was aware of Kardashian's plastic surgery confessions - or if he believes them - but he doubled down on his podcast. Kim Kardashian's Kids Ask When She's Getting a Facelift Like Kris Jenner "Like, damn, everybody wants the straight black hair and the lips and the curvy booty and the eyelashes, and everybody's cutting their noses up and chin up and cheeks up," he said. "I blame her for the way our girls are, but now they get out of control with it. They're like, 'Give me the Kim K.' But now they OD it and now they start looking crazy. Like, she is really the reason why the women look the way they look today. Good or bad. That's just what I feel." Though Kardashian, who shares four kids with ex-husband Kanye West, has denied having serious work done, she also hasn't shied away from admitting that she cares about her looks. "I really genuinely care about looking good," she told Allure. "I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. It's not easy when you're a mom and you're exhausted at the end of the day or you're in school and I'm all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone's in bed, I'm doing laser treatments." "There does come a point when you've taken it too far," she said. "Overfilled, too tight, too much cosmetic work. There's nothing worse." That doesn't mean she doesn't also want to look younger. "If you told me that I literally had to eat poop every single day and I would look younger, I might," Kardashian told The New York Times in 2022. "I just might."
