Her family worries about her choices, but she said they eventually got used to her obsession.
“…when I look at Kim I’m not fully confident inside of myself… my nan,
my mum and my stepdad are worried — but they are so used to it by now
that it’s an every day thing,” she said.
Leeson, who gets paid to impersonate Kim, admitted she’s in debt “up to
my eyeballs,” and receives threatening letters from bailiffs that she
ignores.
“I work, my job doesn’t pay enough… I’ve used credit cards to pay for
everything. I’m in major debt. I say that I’m going to pay them but as
soon as money comes in I just think about getting my Kimmy on.”
But it’s all been worth it, Leeson says.
“When I get my Kimmy on I feel like I’m unstoppable and untouchable and I
feel like no one can stop me and I can make something of myself,” she
said. “I feel strong… and I feel that I have built enough confidence to
love myself a little bit more.”
