Kim Kardashian has peeved some fans after the reality TV star denied ever having facial fillers.

In a new interview with Allure, the social media sensation dished on all of the procedures she's had done—and not done—to her face but fans are not buying it.

"What do you have in your face right now?" the interviewer asked, frankly.

"A little bit of Botox," Kardashian replied.

"No filler?" the interviewer asked, to which Kardashian answered, referring to her cheeks and lips: "No filler. Never filled either one, ever."

She went on to say: "No. 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."

Needless to say, such a revelation has confused fans—fillers are an extremely commonplace cosmetic procedure and it seems odd that a celebrity like Kardashian hasn't had any.

"In new interview, Kim Kardashian insists she's never had fillers injected into her face, including her lips. I have an announcement to make: I'm actually the Queen of England," tweeted pop culture commentator Mike Sington.

Author Cora Harrington accused Kardashian of "gaslighting" her fans.

"Really cannot overstate the surreal uncanny valley-ness of this article. The entire piece feels like a masterclass in gaslighting," she tweeted.

Another fan tweeted: "There is absolutely nothing funnier on this planet than Kim Kardashian pretending she has never had fillers in her face lmao I'm sorry but she is the best comedian of our time."

One Allure reader commented said they were canceling their subscription because of Kardashian's "lies."

"This long-term subscriber just CANCELED after reading this story full of LIES and the gross injustice this story is for your young impressionable women," the tweet reads.

Newsweek has contacted Kardashian's representatives for comment.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kardashian dismissed the notion that she is responsible for creating unattainable beauty standards for women.

"If I'm doing it, it's attainable," she said. "There are so many different beauty standards — whether it's Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, Marilyn Monroe. When I was a teenager, [the look] was just blonde waifs."

The 41-year-old cites Salma Hayek as a more attainable beauty standard for her when she was younger.

"My mentality was never like, you see them on TV or in magazines and pick who you want to be," she said. "It was always: Be yourself, find beauty in everything."
