Kendall Jenner insists she has has never been bullied by catwalk models, contrary to some reports.

The 19-year-old beauty is one of the hottest names in the fashion world at the moment, having recently been named the new face of beauty brand Estee Lauder - and she's refuted suggestions other models are jealous of her success.

Kendall - who also stars in the popular reality show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' - said: ''I would see rumours of girls bullying me backstage and putting cigarettes out in my drink, and none of that has happened. Everyone's been really cool to me. I've never had one girl be mean ... so far.''

The brunette also revealed that her family, which includes half-sister Kim Kardashian West and her husband Kanye West, have all been supportive of her modelling career, which has already seen her walk the runways for the likes of Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Givenchy.

She explained to Dazed magazine: ''Every show, no matter how many shows I've done, I get a text message from every single one of them. But I love it. I couldn't ask for a better reaction. ''The other day Kanye hugged me and was like, 'Yo, I'm really proud of you.' And I was like, 'Really?!' It's so sweet to hear that.''
