The Story Behind Kylie Jenner's Leg Scar Might Make You Flinch — You've Been Warned

People across the internet are talking about Kylie Jenner again. Only this time, it's because she and Travis Scott posed for the cover of GQ's August issue [1]. Although she looks glamorous on the cover, the visible scar on her leg is hard to miss. Because of the way Jenner is posing, and since she's only wearing a bodysuit, the mark is more prominent, and people are openly discussing how much they appreciate that she left the scar unretouched, particularly at a time when that's so rare.

She revealed the cause of her scar during a fan Q&A in 2011. "When I was about five, my sister [Kendall] and I were playing hide and seek, and I hid inside this really tall, enclosed gate," she said. "After a while when my sister didn't find me I had to climb up on this sharp pole sticking out from the gate. I slipped and the pole went into my leg. I tried pulling away to get the pole out but it just tore through my whole leg. It's smaller now though because I grew!"

Over the years, Jenner has shared how proud she is of her scar. In 2015, she shared a picture of her leg on Instagram [2] with the caption "I love my scar." Keep reading to see Kylie's thoughtful post and her first magazine cover with Travis.
