Rousey's issue with Kardashian stemmed from her fame's origin. "Any girl who is famous and idolized because she made a sex video with some guy and that's all that you're known for, 'Oh, I got my fame for [expletive],' I think it's pretty stupid, sorry, but it's true," she explained.

 


Moreover, Rousey wanted to set a better example for young girls, including her own sister. She stated, "Girls like Kim Kardashian are being pushed in my little sister's face, and it's just not healthy. She shouldn't need to have role models like this, and that's why I'm doing stuff like ESPN Body because someone needs to do it."
