Kendall Jenner might be a supermodel and reality TV star, but that doesn’t mean she’s not like other teens.

The 19-year-old opened up about her rebellious phase after her nipple piercing made headlines during New York Fashion Week.

“I was going through a period in my life, having a rough time, being a rebel and was like, ‘Let’s just do it,’” she told the New York Post. “[I was] so terrified, I’m laying on the bed like, ‘Why am I doing this?’ Honestly, it hurt, but wasn’t as bad as everyone made it seem, and maybe because everyone hyped it up and I thought it would be really, really bad. Then it wasn’t as bad as I expected.”

Her piercing was visible through her white gown at Harper’s Bazaar ICON event last week.
