What is up, Daddy, gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Kim Kardashian, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Thank you. Thank you for having me. I'm so happy you're here. What did you do today? Because obviously, it's a little later in the day.

What have you been up to? School run. Okay. Came home meeting, a security meeting with my security team. How often do we do that? Every so often, just to assess everything. Tune things up, tighten it up. Yeah.

And then I got ready. And then I did a Nike skims call on the way here, multitasking, and this. And then I'm going to go hang with one of my friends later. Love. You have been, without a doubt, one of the most highly requested people for me to have on the show since the day I started it. Oh, Kim, shut up. No, I'm serious. Kim fucking Kardashian.

Everyone has been like, we need to see this mashup. We need to see what goes down. So I am so excited that we're finally here. We needed to do this. Like we've known it was going to happen. I feel like one day in our souls. Yeah. But it was about when.

Yeah. And this feels right. It feels right. Now is right. You've been in the public eye for over two decades. What has been one of the most insane things that you've been ever asked in an interview? You know what's so funny is Chloe sent in our group chat. our family chat, this interview that we did on the view. And they, it was like Courtney, me and

Chloe. And they just like looked at Chloe. And I bet you could pull this up. It was like going online. And they were just like, how does it feel Chloe to just like look so different than Courtney and Kim? And it was just the way that they were asking questions. It was just that you could never get away with that today. It is crazy. I have seen. so many people's interviews pop back up from the old days. And you're like, wait, she said what to her, whether it was about wait, look. It was about wait. It was about looks.

It was about everything. And it was just so crazy that like that's what it just was okay at that time. It also makes me so sad. And I would love to hear how you as a sister supported her. Because when I interviewed Chloe, she now has such a lightness about the topic because time has gone on where she was like, oh my God, I used to all this shit about me and it hurt back then, but now I'm so secure in myself. But like in those moments in interviews where you were aware people were doing that to her? And like, no. No, no. Maybe sometimes. But because like she would, her responses were so great though. She'd be like, wait,

what? What? You're as like, she was like, I can't believe you're asking me this. This is insane. And I can't believe. I mean, I guess Courtney and I should have maybe stuck up for her publicly a little bit more when that was happening. I think we just wanted to, we didn't know. These are like our first set of interviews, our first time on these shows. Like what can we say? What can't we? But just to look back and to know that that's how interviews were conducted is kind of crazy. It's beyond inappropriate. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So that's the negative side. The other side is how many times you've broken the internet is there are too many to count. It's so fun to do that. It is. You're so. good at it. You're really good at it, sweetie. So keep it going. But you've done it so many

times. What do you think has been your most favorite moment? I mean, maybe when we did the paper magazine cover and we came up with that phrase, break the internet, you know, maybe that photo will forever. I was literally thinking about it. I'm like, I think that's how I'm going to tease this episode is I'm going to try to balance a glass on my house. I'm going. I don't think it's going to even stay for a fucking second, but I'm going to do my best. Did you actually balance it on your ass? Or is that full Photoshop? That we had like a padding and then we put it on top because it had to like sit perfectly

straight. So you can tell that's like not my ass. It's like a padding with that. But I just remember that shoot was so crazy because I was having dinner with my mom right after. And I don't I don't know. I went and worked with John Paul Goode who does like the craziest shoots. and it was one shot.

And I was like, I pulled him aside and I was like, hey, like, it's me. There's no publicist here. There's no one here. Like, you want to shoot one, like one more, like something other than just this one shot. And the one shot was, I think, the one with the glass on my butt. But I was like, let's do something else. So he's like, okay. And he's like, had to go back to sketch it out, think about it.

and was like, let's, like, rip it off or, like, something. And I was like, I'm down. And then I go to dinner with my mom later. She's like, how was the shoot? And I was like, oh, it was good, whatever. And then when that shoot came out, I was living at my mom's house. And I just remember her, like, screaming down the hall. Like, what did you do?

And I just was like, what? She's like, that's what you did the night we had dinner. And you didn't even mention to me that this was what you were doing in the shoot. And I was like, I don't know what I didn't think it was that big of a deal you know dude your mother she was pissed she's like Kim how many times this is going to happen in my life where I'm like Kimberly yes she's also like okay send me my 10% bitch totally like we give her heart attacks but it's got you so far I don't know how I would deal as a mom I'm going to have to you oh well you're going

to have to you do I was going to say we're going to get to that but do you think your mom is sun phase now? Do you think there's anything you actually could do that your mom would be like, actually what the fuck? I think every time we say that, something comes up and then it's like, what the fuck? But there is this thing where like we are a little bit desensitized. Like I said today, I was like, you guys, holy fucking shit, mom, you're on a Vogue cover. Kendall, you're on a Vogue cover. A Vogue cover that I did came out today. I was like, are we going? going to like lose our minds in our family chat today because like and celebrate how are three family members on the same month of different vogue like that's just such a trip to me like this can never

get old you know and so we do talk about stuff like that okay good because I feel like when you become more normalized to things and desensitized yeah you can forget that like no this is iconic yes maybe the first cover of vogue was iconic but then also again being on vogue is still iconic and you can still celebrate. It's still like just nothing in this life will ever get old to me. Okay, I want to go through some of my favorite moments similar to that cover that I just think everyone on the internet will remember, especially if they were from OG days. We're going to start with the classic.

Okay. Losing your diamond earring in Bora Bora. Through and through, it is a viral TikTok audio still now. It has been repurposed. People love it. Is there anything that you can tell us about? that moment that we don't know about or even just like a memory from it. That was like one of my first biggest purchases. So they weren't insured yet. That's why I was so upset is because that would be

money down the drain. If I insured them, then I can just like claim them and then I could have gotten my money back. But I hadn't insured them. I got them that week. Kylie dove down, found it with her goggles in the ocean and then went back and found the earring back. So I have the full exact earring. I forget which sister was like giving you shit. Courtney. It's always Courtney. Yeah.

Yeah. I shouldn't have even asked. Yeah. I knew it in my heart. Yeah. Okay. What is something in your closet now that you, if you lost, would have a similar level crash out? Oh, I have a level of that of like a bag that I just got into a fight with, a sister mom

fight over that I crashed out like that. So. they took it? Oh, it's a long story. I had this bag, this like, Hermes, Berkin, shoulder bag, JPG designed 90s. I had one. They only made like five versions of it. So I was like, oh, I want to collect everyone, but they're so rare. You can never find them. Do I send a picture of it to my mom and tell her, or is she going to copy me on this? Did she often copy? Okay. Okay. So I was like, okay, you know what? Fuck it. I'm going to send her the picture. I'm going to say, hey, here's the campaign. Here's the runway images. Here's the bag. If you ever find it, I want it. So go to her house. And I decided I was busy studying and I said, I'm not going to like respond to my text or anything for like two weeks. So the store texts me and says, we found the bag. It's here. Do you want it? I wrote back, negotiated, got the price down. forgot to respond to say yes, I want it because then I said I'm putting my phone down for this

last week that I really need to focus, which I've never done in my life. So I was like, I don't care who it is. I'm not responding. See my mom and Chloe and my mom goes, oh, it's one of your sister's birthday who wants to go in on a bat. And then she goes, oh, and talks to Chloe and was like, you know, so I was like, oh my God, she got me the bag from my birthday. And she just like got it early and she's going to hold on to it. Okay, for sure I'm not going to respond because I know she just got me the bag. I can tell by what she just did. Anyway, Kylie posts this bag for her birthday being like, thanks, mom, whatever, for the bag. I call my mom and I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? Like I turn into a monster. I have like rage. And I'm like rage texting her like.

And my mom's like, I have no idea what you're talking about. Kylie just sent me a birthday list. I go, no, no, no. I have the same birthday list. It's not on this. there. Oh, I must have a different one. I call her assistant. Not on there. She, Kim, I have no clue what you're talking about. I go, Mom, I had a full conversation with you. So I find it. I screenshot it. I screenshot my conversation with the store about whatever, the whole thing. You're such a receipts, girl, I can already feel it. You're like, let me show you the exact time you did this. Yes, I did. And I was raging. Wait, so does Kylie have it? She has it, but she doesn't even know that we had this whole fight. So can I tell you the sweetest thing?

Chloe goes, Kim, I feel so bad. I never knew that you were like obsessed, but I kind of knew you were obsessed because your whole team said if you ever find this bag, if anyone wants to get one for Kim for her birthday, get it. So Chloe goes, come over. I got you one for your birthday. And I'm going to give it to you months early because I feel so bad and she gave it to me. Chloe is such a real one. Yeah. Dude, and Kylie probably has she used it yet.

She doesn't even know. It's so, she doesn't even know we're fighting over it. It is so ridiculous over a bag, but it was my most recent crush out. Okay, so is Kylie the favorite? I think a little bit, and I think that that's okay. I think she's the baby, and I think that, but like I think it's warranted. I think she, like, has a really close relationship with my mom and is really sweet. I think, like, Chloe's also a big favorite.

I don't know every she has like a different relationship with everyone but I would say it's Kylie and Chloe okay um okay 211 we're going back any memories getting your butt x-rayed to prove it was real I think this was like wasn't that ridiculous season six season that's a thing you know but it was fun like I think we even said like oh my gosh let's go do this I remember that broke the internet kind of because everyone's like what a concept that she's like and an x-ray yeah um okay taking selfies on the way to drop chloe off at jail we'll never forget him stop taking selfies i found so many of those in my computer i keep everything okay i was going to ask you do so you have it i have all of them yeah so when i know everyone knows like paris always iconically talks about how she has all of the laptops

almost per boyfriend and she keeps everything so you have i have it all together on a hard drive and on my laptop and like I upload it like so I'm what I do on my plane rides and my spare time is I have folders of like every person in my life that's ever been in my life every family member everything that ever I like photo that goes in my phone I upload them so I just like spend time so each kid has every single year in picture form video form like every video that I've ever taken every event I every you know every ex-boyfriend everything every everything because you kind of have to keep it saved everything you're a receipts queen you know that's like the yeah oh I keep like screenshots of conversations if they're cute conversations mine are a little like I keep them like just as like

sweet memories to remember I I do have a problem of like only remembering the good that's like something that is like a thing. Okay. I mean, I guess that's better than only remembering the bad. Yeah. But I could see where that could go wrong

where someone comes back in your life and everyone's like, no, Kim, they literally fucked you over. But I feel like you wouldn't go back to someone that fucked you over. Or would you? I'm a really forgiving person. But I really haven't dated like that

to like have those kinds of toxic relationships since I've been divorced. you know like I feel like that dating world is so like from what I remember I would have it would have been like I would have been way younger and like I think when you get older you just don't tolerate that shit you don't have time you know you're 2021 all black met galile look okay talk to me about when you went inside did you take it off and no so did you not eat no you didn't drink no you just kept this thing on all night yeah no one saw your face no I was committed.

Kim. Well, we know you always commit. I was committed. I was really nervous wearing that. And Demna, the designer, was really good at, okay, you don't really have to wear the mask. But like, let's talk about it. Let's like think it through. Let's like, you know, and that was like the thing.

And he was like an all wear one. And we'll just like, you know, he doesn't really like to, he's really uncomfortable with those events and really being out. So I was like, okay, perfect. like you're here with me and then I you know okay there were rumors that you wore it over your face because you had gotten a facelift that year confirm or deny that's insane I would absolutely love to show it off if I did but no I didn't it was for the fashion I would that was like years ago I would have been like I don't know maybe people do them earlier these days but No.

What is a recent rumor that you've heard about yourself that actually pissed you off? Maybe it would like annoy me back in the day if it would link me to people that I had never met or been with or if I had just met someone and sat next to them and said hi. And then it was like, oh, they're dating or they slept together and they're like just stuff that didn't really happen. That kind of stuff used to bother me. But I don't think anything really gets to me these days. Well, we'll clear some of it up today, don't worry. we're going to play. We're going to play a game. I love being in an interview where you like don't know what the questions are.

Like things can be so contrived these days. And I love like walking in being like, ask anything and not you're relaxed. genuinely it's fun i think it's going to be good this game is it's going to get a little bit more heated okay we've got this kim okay okay okay this is why i asked you to bring your phone into the interview okay it's called confess or text okay keeping up with the Kardashians edition here's how it works okay i am going to ask you a pretty juicy question okay you can answer it we go to the next one okay if you pass on answering it you're going to go into that bowl you're going to pick out a card and it has a name and a text,

you'll be texting this person that text. Okay, okay. Are you ready? Do you have your phone? Yes, I do, I do. Okay, ready? How much a year do you spend on glam? Well, a lot, but if I'm filming my show, then they pay for it.

If I'm working, then they pay for it. So I try to get it all paid for so that I don't personal. have to pay for it smart yeah but a tally i mean i don't have a concept of what like certain simple things cost which really um is you know i'd like i'd like to know a little bit more about what like a milk carton cost and you know um let me think about this you can text no I mean, it's probably You'll call your business manager Yeah, I should know this actually

You should. Like six figures? Seven figures. It could be a million dollars, you know? I don't think I'd be surprised at that, right? This hair isn't cheap. Babe, it looks great. You know? But I don't know. Are those K tips?

No. It's like my hair is to hear right now So I just like, we braided it up and just like glued them on top. There was this like blonde, Chris Appleton was doing my hair once and it was like blonde and everyone saw these tracks and everyone was like, what the fuck is happening? But we like slick my hair back and then glue it on top. So you can maintain your hair. Yeah, just so that my hair.

I think everyone always wonders, like how do you get this? I have really good hair. I have really good hair. Okay, so maybe a million dollars. Maybe five. Not five. Not five. Below five, maybe one.

Yeah. Okay, on to the next. What is something you probably should have gotten canceled for but didn't? I know what it is. And I think I'm going to get canceled if I say it. You're like, I'm not bringing that shit back out. Like, I don't know who approved this. And I don't know who thought that this was normal, this narrative.

But I did a photo shoot with Justin Bieber and he was 16 years old. I don't know how old I was. And it was like a play. His girlfriend was there. His parents were, I mean, it was like nothing creepy at all. But I look back and I'm like, that's the one thing that I feel like, you know, he's like a good dear friend of ours and the whole family.

But like, who thought that that was a good idea? You know, I must have been 30 years old. you know I could see that I could see that getting murky but it was a story of what's that story with the teacher and the student

the graduate the graduate right I just feel like that was nothing ever weird was obviously happening and like I just think that was like

an odd concept and why none of us thought that that was odd at the time but now we look back and I'm like that would have not been the most appropriate thing wait but I've never really done anything to be canceled like I stand by everything that I've never said anything crazy I've never done anything crazy maybe just like by association being around people and people thinking you've been on

the fringe a couple times but it's never really got yet what do you think that I would have done well I can't say that tell me I can't say it I don't need a whole nation coming for me okay go Text Courtney. I just recorded. Call her daddy and I want to give you a heads up of some things I said about you and I don't have edit control. I was on the phone with her walking in on the way here talking about editing and something for something else about editing. Oh God. So she'll believe this. This is kind of on brand. She will fully believe this. Hey, I just recorded Call Her Daddy, and I just want to give you a heads up on some things that I said about you. Period. I don't have edit control. I'm a big voice talker. I thought you were like voice memoing her because that's text. Yeah, because if you say period. I'm not saying like period. Okay, that's good. Let's see what she says. Do you think she's going to freak out? No. But you guys are on good terms. Yes. That's like maybe a misconception that I think people think all the time. Courtney and I are like this we are so close and we've always been so close

I think it's because when we see you guys fight but I have a sister I don't see the resolve I'll leave it there so she calls back they don't see the resolve or they don't see all the moments in between they just see us like fighting and then they drag it on for months and we're like hanging out and we'll be good

and then it's just like I think sisters just and if you're so close and we like grew up in the same room together like it's just not we would never not make up yeah and we make up really quickly so it's just like kind of confusing or sad that to us that we think that people think that we're not that close we're probably like the closest I think that makes a lot of sense I do appreciate you clarifying that because I wouldn't have expected you to say you're the closest but I think Chloe and I are the closest yes but second her and I just have like a lot of

once she's your older sister yeah i have an older sister and it's like i can fight with her and be like i will never speak to again and then i'm like wait what was the link that you were texting me and she's like i thought we were done with each other i'm like yeah wait but we will be after this wait tell me okay she's not responding no okay good okay well next one okay fuck mary kill x's edition pt davidson mm-hmm tom brady mm-hmm chris humphreys I think I'll text on this one I'll get in way too much trouble there Text Kylie

Okay, are Corey and Chris still together? Yeah, isn't that a weird one that it said that they broke up? I don't know where that came from, like genuinely. Okay,

so we can confirm. No, genuinely. In the past, have you ever hooked up with Travis Barker? No, I never have. Absolutely. That I do not mind you asking. I never have. And that really sucks that that has gone on but he dated Paris and we were all friends and we'd all like hang out and when I was with Paris we'd be on the road and go to like their tour in Amsterdam and like so I have been friends with him but never like in that way and never yeah never have to help with him did you have any heads up that you were going to be in his memoir like reference as the No. Okay.

No. But I, it would say that we never hooked up. I mean, I don't think he would allude to that information, you know. But also, Courtney was around during that time. So, like, they were neighbors for a decade. So, like, when everyone was all hanging, like, he was always around with his kids. They'd always come to Courtney's house for all the birthdays. So it was like everything was super like.

open and cool and like everyone's been friends he was just as good of friends with them as he was with all of us so it was nothing weird what is the dumbest decision you ever made on molly i think i got married in Vegas you did yeah yeah that's what my research shows yeah okay yeah um but that was also like i take all of my experiences i i said that and i have to remember if I like was at that moment or if we did it right after but you know maybe just like in those days when that was like a thing for me just maybe getting married and not telling my parents and Courtney finding it on the internet because it was public record and then telling my dad and you know yeah that's pretty good yeah um there are rumors that you've hooked up with post malone what is

going on there really yeah i don't know why i've never heard that maybe the skims campaign but he is the nicest person ever. I'm obsessed with him. I will say we facetimed at his campaign during the skims campaign and he is like the nicest human being. And I wrote in our family chat and I wrote, oh my God, you guys, we just, you know, shot post for skims and he is the nicest human being. And then Kylie sends a picture at her like 16th birthday. And she's like, do you remember when he performed at my 16th birthday? And then my brother goes, oh my God, he used to sleep over. And like we would hang all the time and then Scott would be like oh my god yeah remember and I was like oh my god I had no idea he was like a part of our crew and we like all love him so much he was one of my favorite

interviews of all time really he is did he say ma'am I think I wanted someone to almost have a count of how many times he said ma'am I was like don't he feel so like great when he's like yeah oh my god I feel so proper and loves yes good vibes okay what is the craziest place you've ever had sex. Probably a movie theater. Okay. Fun? Yeah, so fun. Okay. Send one more text before we move on. You can pick which one you do. Take a couple. Okay, Chloe. My friends are trying to set me up with this guy in the NBA. Honestly, what do you think? Should I go? She would absolutely know that's a lie. She would? Yeah. Because you've just like NBA is off limits. Okay, do another one. Yeah. Let's see. Let's assess. Yeah, let's assess. To Kendall, why am I hearing?

rumors that you're dating Tom Brady. Be honest. Would you hate me if I booked Bad Bunny for our next skims campaign? Okay. Okay. Let's see what our options are. Scott, I think I may be into this guy who's a lot younger. From your experience, do you think I should go for it? He'd be like, hell yeah. TMZ just reached out, call me ASAP. I mean, I could do that. My mom will call me in one second, thinking it's about her. Rob, Hulu really wants you on the next season. How much would it cost to get you on the show? He might be on the show this next season.

I wonder what it costs. Who would be funner? Do you want to fuck with your mom? Will she be funny? So should we come up with an TMZ thing? Yeah, but what would it be? Okay, what if? Should we make it about her?

Obviously. There's a leaked photo. that's going to come out of you and they're being really suss and they won't say what it is. Should we see who calls back wicker, Chris, or... Yes. And then I promise we'll move on.

You're too fun because you have all these good sisters that will like play game. OMG, TMZ just called me. Call me right now. I'm freaking the fuck out. How many times have you sent a text like that to your mother? She's either so desensitized. Okay. Let's see how quick it takes her to call me.

While we wait, you were 27 years old when keeping up with the Kardashians started. When you got this offer, okay. Is it Chris? We're quick. What do I say? What do I say? I'm freaking out. I'm just freaking out. Oh my God. I'm just freaking out. I'm shaking. I can't even fucking talk right now. What? I can't. What?

There's leaked photos apparently. coming out there's these hello what hello i'm just kidding i'm just kidding what i'm kidding i'm kidding kim are you crying kim you keep going in and out i'm kidding i'm kidding yeah i'm doing i'm doing a podcast, the Call Her Daddy podcast. It's me again. Oh my God. You guys are fucking insane. I almost had a heart attack and I haven't even had my cocktail yet.

I love you. Okay, I love you. Oh, God. I should know better. I should know fucking better. Okay, bye. Dude, you not being able to speak. I'm actually crying.

Kim, Kim. She's like, what? What's wrong with you? Okay, 27, keeping up with the Kardashians started, we're not going to go all the way back. But just from your recollection, like, what did you want out of that whole experience when you got offered it? Oh, I just wanted to be famous. That was like the goals. Like for me, at that time, I just was like, I thought this was so fun, so cool.

I didn't even think we'd get to like a second season. It wasn't like a long-term goal plan wasn't in my thought process at that point. I was really business oriented always so like I would have worked and wanted to just do anything like that, you know, like had a store. I would have done any of that. When the show opportunity came about, I was just like, this is our moment. This is our time. And like, you know, Courtney didn't want to be on. And Chloe was like, whatever you want us to do. And my mom and I kind of like saw that vision. and the Kendall and Kylie were so young, Rob was game for anything. And it was just such a fun experience. And honestly, the show has just brought us so much closer together. Having to like get up every day and work with your family. I mean, it would break a lot of people, but it really brought us like so close together. I feel like throughout the years we have seen so much play out of your guys' lives on the world stage. If you had to say what do you think was the hardest thing that you all had to go through publicly? Maybe the transition of my stepdad. I think that my mom didn't know how to handle it. Imagine Kendall and Kylie are like losing their father in their mind.

And at that time, Caitlin wasn't very open with us about her transition and just kind of came out with it. So we had lots of different mixed emotions. I know Chloe was super emotional and upset about it. So we just never, you know, we're like learning this all for the first time. And then we want to be supportive for our little sisters, trying to be supportive for my mom that's now getting a divorce and making sure we don't say anything super offensive or even asking questions of like, what does this mean and what is this term and what is this? Like we we didn't really know anything so we just had to kind of figure it out and we did it all on camera how do you think you guys got through all of that it's just family that's how we get through

everything we have each other you had your dad pass away the same year that you got your first divorce how did both of those experiences of loss in the same year impact and shape you as a person Well, my dad's dad passed away three months before my dad. So she lost her dad and then her ex-husband. So it was a lot of loss. My dad was actually helping me with that divorce with a legal team and helping me like process that. I mean, I think that it was definitely a loss, but I was so young. I got married at 19. My dad passed away at 22. So I was just 22. You don't know a whole lot. Definitely. a lot of loss and change. I was obviously super affected when my dad passed away and affected like for the divorce.

We were together for a few years. But I didn't really know what that meant then. And I was so focused on just like my dad and spending all the time with my dad that I could in those last like six weeks. So yeah, losing someone

and you know your whole life will be changed forever is a really hard thing to go through. But, you know, again, family, we did it together. How do you think losing your dad impacted your, if at all, your future romantic relationships and who you chose in partners? I would have thought that I had, I had the best example of a dad, the best everything. He had the best relationship with my mom during their divorce was super respectful. Afterwards, when, you know, my mom remarried, like everything about him was super stand up and respectful. So I saw by example, what life can be like and how you should be treated and who you should, the type of person you should have in your life.

So I think that I have made not similar choices to that. and that's confusing to me because I had such a great example that you would think that my I would have just like picked a little bit more close to what I saw so are you hard on yourself for that no I think that like there's so many lessons in life and if it was all perfect like life would be so boring so boring so I'm totally good with the decision and choices that have gone on and that I've made and I take accountability for them and you learn and you have fun and you know like there's so many good even in like all these you know relationships that might not have turned out that way like I still had so much fun and learned a lot

so you and Kanye were together for over almost 10 years about a little over almost 15 years we were together. Going back to those kind of beginning happy days, like what initially drew you to him? I mean, he was like larger than life and so smart and just always talked about like new ideas and things that I wasn't really familiar with. And I was always learning with him. And it was always just such a, such a fun time. Yeah. On an episode of the Kardashians, you said the hardest thing is when someone changes and you can't live with the new version of them. What were the early signs that your relationship with him was changing? I mean, I think there's obviously, you know, people can say that there was like signs and maybe I didn't,

wasn't paying attention to them. And I think when someone has, like, their first, like, mental break, you know, you want to be super supportive and you want to, like, help figure that out and you want to really get into that with them and be there for them. But I think that it just, when someone, you know, isn't willing to make changes that I think would be super. healthy and beneficial, it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic and that, you know, I think that, you know, when you have kids, it's definitely harder to leave than it is to stay. And it changes everyone's life and forever, you know, so you really have to like take your time and wait and see if there'll be changes. But once you get to a place where you feel like it's not going to change or get better, then you have to make like some

serious choices on what you're going to do. And that's like a really hard reality to face, you know? I can't imagine. I guess I'm curious how did you feel like you will often or ever felt like things are getting better maybe I can stay like did you go back and forth often yeah of course you know or you like you want to believe that for a little bit and you know then you look at your babies and you're just like but then you think like you know what if they see a good example of like me setting boundaries and then once like my mental health starts to get affected and then I can't parent the way that I need to and I can't be present and focused, then, like, there's got to be one of us that can. And I had to, like, save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone.

And I think, like, when everyone's older, they'll be able to understand it and see that all. I agree. Yeah. It's such a hard time when you're kind of the only adult that's able to make the decision and you, like, look at your kids and you're probably like, I know this may not make sense now, but I probably, promise it will later. Yeah. I feel like a lot of times in difficult relationship dynamics, sometimes you can isolate yourself. Like at what point when things were starting to not be as great as it started, did you start to open up to friends or family? I mean, I think they would see it. A lot of like stuff would happen around my family. So it was really hard to like see my

family get treated one way and then me being like, I'm sorry guys. And, and, like then stick with it um i think people couldn't not see it i think i got really disassociated and there was like so many times where i was just like really quiet and like just trying to figure it all out and people can kind of see that on me um during certain times so i think but also people were really um compassionate and didn't want to say hey we don't think this is healthy for you everyone tried to just move in a direction of being healthy and so no one really sat there and was like you have to get out like i've been in those you know where people are like this isn't for you and no one did that you know they knew that i had a lot of

love and respect for that relationship and for babies and like that i would have done anything to really make it work but you guys obviously you're dealing with it with your family and they're living it, but then you guys were also one of the most famous couples in the world. How did the public perception of your relationship influence and affect how you kind of navigated everything? Because you're not a normal person that can just be like, okay, it's a divorce, we're moving. It's like the whole world is looking and praises both of you in some capacity. I mean, I think that extra pressure just makes it a little bit harder. I think people were going to be, I thought like, oh my God, everyone's going to be so upset.

with me because I'm just like leaving and I wouldn't want someone to think I was leaving someone because it got too hard. But there was just a lot in there that for my soul, I felt like I had to make that decision. And I think people get it now and, you know, they might respect my decision and see that. But, you know, when you do have that outside layer, there is that extra like, you know, especially, I have had a few marriages that I didn't think that were for me. And so now, like, am I a failure? And then I have to, like, really look back at that and say, you know what? An over a decade relationship with four beautiful children is not a failure, you know?

And I just, you can't think that way. You can't live that way. You can't worry about what everyone's going to say. And I have to come home to myself. and I have to be happy. So I think something obviously you said, which is so relatable, it's like it's almost sometimes easier to stay than to leave. What was it for you that was the final straw that actually got you to be like?

I don't know if it was like, you know, there was just a lot of things that I wouldn't deal with, you know, like. I didn't like the feeling of, like, you know, someone being, like, maybe talking bad about, you know, my kids, grandmother, aunts, like, all of those feelings. If someone feels that way, then, you know, we shouldn't be together, you know, maybe airing out a lot of stuff, a lot of personal stuff. just not not feeling safe you know not not even physically just like maybe emotionally or even you know financially because you have you know big um ideas that um financial things when you it's like a thing where you I mean I would like come home and we had like five Lamborghinis and I'd come home and they'd all be gone you know if he was in an episode and I'd be like oh wait where where's all our cars like my my new car and it would be like oh he gave him away to all of his friends

and then i'd be like huh okay and then i'd come home again and at a different point we had you know five more Lamborghinis and then i'd wake up in another episode and they'd all be gone again and that time i was like keep them guys you know like i don't know i don't know what to say but like i never felt like i i didn't know you know what you're going to get when you wake up and that's like a really unsettling feeling. Yeah. Yeah, it's like a lack of stability. Lack of stability was a big thing.

You're trying to be stable for yourself and your kids. And then there's a factor that you're like, I can't. So once you left, what was the biggest change that you saw within yourself? I walked away thinking that I would have, like, to live a different life, that I would not have a connection to anyone in, fashion or art or like, you know, that was a big part of his life. And so I thought like, okay, I'm going to just like go back to a totally different world and my happiness is like worth that and it's totally okay. And some of my biggest projects came about after I made that decision and some of my best relationships with fashion and art and all these things that I

thought I had to give up or told I had, you know, wasn't going to have anymore. And it was like the universe just like rewarding me and showing me that I was moving in the right direction. And I think that's like a really important, powerful thing is to like pay attention to the signs and pay attention to life and, you know, what happens and how you can be guided to make really good decisions, you know. But I have no regrets. Like, you know, I have four amazing beautiful babies they are beautiful yeah um publicly obviously having a public marriage you know a vocal ex like how has that impacted your current approach to dating um you know it has definitely affected that you know there has been situations where like i'll get maybe close to

someone then it's like wait wait i don't really want to deal with your ex And I don't want to deal that, like, if he's going to say something. And I'm like, you know, so it has been like a little frustrating, but then I get really, like, my person wouldn't care about that, you know. But it is a big thing and I get it, you know. It's not an easy thing. And I get that. I remember, obviously, when like the Pete music video and everything, I was like, oh, I can't imagine how Kim handles that, right? Like in those moments, like having those conversations with people that you're seeing, you can't really control.

That made me feel really sad. That really wasn't fair for him. And I felt so sad and sorry for him. And he was such a great, like, man that was like, I got like, don't worry. Like, it's all good or at least, you know, acted that way. And it just, it must suck to just be put in that position. So it's had me put up this guard where I don't want to put anyone in that position. So it's easier if I just maybe. stay away and but then I can't live my life like that either you know but I am aware of it and I do I mean I think maybe at this point you know it's like so a non-issue I don't think he would say something but then you never know and in the past when Kanye has had new partners the world is so quick to immediately compare them to you who is more beautiful who is more fashionable who is better for him, how do you feel in those moments? I feel bad for them that they have to just deal with that, you know, it's really not fair to anyone to compare, you know, or especially if it's like, oh, well, he was acting this way just when they were together, you know, maybe when it first

started. And then I was like, okay, you know, just time will play itself out and like it has nothing to do with me and it's like not fair to really blame me. But, you know, it sucks, you know, because I think like any high profile relationship that you're in, there's going to be some comparison to that person's ex. So are you single? I am single. And I feel totally, totally content. I've been single for a while.

Is this the longest you've ever been single? Yeah. And I'm totally good with that. Like, I have my kids to raise. I have, like, a life that, like, requires a lot of my attention. And my kids just really meet me right now. So it's like, I, I'm not. They're 24-7, you know, I don't know how I would fit something else in. So I'm just not looking. And it would have to be like someone super special for me to like, I've had all my fun. I've had all my phases. Yeah. So it's like now I just have to like be with my babies. Okay. But eventually you're Kim, you're going to get back at it at some point. It doesn't matter when, but you'll get there. You're the most probably one of the most famous women in the world. How do you even approach dating?

Oh, it's like usually friends like set you up trying to set us up and stuff like that. So, yeah, I don't know. Do you think men are ever too intimidated to pursue you? Not my person. My person wouldn't be. I was going to ask. I think I'm like really approachable. I don't think I'm like, you know. You are. Like I didn't know what to expect. Obviously, I've never met you. You know how the industry is. You never know if you're going to, you've met many people, I'm sure, in the industry that you're like, oh, fuck. That's what. Like that sucks, so you never know. And I was wondering if it would be unattractive to you if someone's like a little nervous. You want someone that's confident. Confident, but not like, it's okay if they're nervous too. Yeah. But like they shouldn't be. So I don't know. What is your best quality as a partner? I think I'm a really good team player. And I think that I'm, I just like communicate really well and like I'm a really supportive person. So if I, If we're like in it, we're in it. And I'll do everything to support you.

And I think I'm a really good partner. What do you think is something you need to work on in relationships for yourself? I don't know how. I think it would be hard now. I've lived my life one way for a long time. And I do think it's hard to mess your life with someone. I don't know like, you know, Courtney and Travis came in with kids and like, you know, it's an adjustment. when you have like blended families, I don't, I just don't know if I have the energy or maybe I just

haven't met the right person that I want to blend my life with. I think you haven't met the right person yet. Yeah. How would you describe your typical type? I think it's so different. I don't think I have a type. I feel like you either go so far most of the time. It's either been music world or athlete world. And then there was like Pete. I know. I know. If we had to pick today, are we going rappers or are we going athletes? Neither. Neither.

I think we're going like lawyers and like longevity scientists that can give me all their secrets. Yeah. Oh, Kim. Yeah. I like that for you. Yeah. I feel like you need someone to really mentally and emotionally stimulate you. Yeah.

Because you're fucking smart. Thank you, babe. What is something that you used to be attracted to that you're not anymore? flash. I used to be attracted to like big and flashy and I could care less. What if he walked in and cack? He's in a polo. I mean, I would want him to dress simple. Yeah, no, no, no. Like, I want him to have like style. Or you can help him. Yeah, but like you kind of have to have it in you. Yeah. Have you ever been cheated on? I have. Yeah. How did you find out? Um, he told me. Oh, immediately after or long after?

Long after. And you were still together. Uh-huh. How did you deal with that? I just kind of was like, huh. Tell me more, you know? But like, when you're, that was like a more recent thing. But when you're in like a toxic like 20 year old.

on you not like super recently oh but like when you're in your 20s and stuff it's like all out psycho war like take them down yeah like psychoness when you're in one of those like and that has happened but it's like calling the the person i'll always call the person and go off called the person that they cheated with mm-hmm mm-hmm god it's been so long yeah you're like i miss the thrill The Laco side of me, like, would come out just to make the call. And then I'd be like, okay, that felt good. Okay, but now you, in the last time you confronted someone. Just like, what's the point at this point?

I think I'm just out of phase and at an A, I hate to be like, at this age. But it's like, what's the point? Did you end it after he told you or no? I was in a tough position. I didn't. And I was in a tough position. because I don't I don't think they were in a position to have shared that information. It wasn't like a healthy place.

And so I kind of didn't know if I should take it seriously or not. And I had to wait a time period to like really assess and see what was happening. I see. Yeah. If you found the love of your life, he comes into the picture. do you think you would get married again? I would, absolutely. Would you do a big wedding?

I think it depends on the person. I could easily just like do a super cash. No, I can't do cash. But like, yeah, but it would depend on the person. That was cute that you tried for a minute. You're like, I can go so casual, like backyard. You're like, what am I talking about? Yeah.

If you had to say today, who would you want to design your wedding dress? Well, I was starting to have Manfred Terry Mugler design a wedding dress, even though I, just because I wanted it in my archive of like what I would wear. And I had the perfect one and we were designing it and making it. And I just wanted that. Just for a rainy day? Yeah. I'd still go with that wedding dress that I would want. Okay. Oh, you would still, you would go back to that in archive. Yeah, I really loved it. This like Terry Mugler wedding dress. And is it just like in one of your archive? No, we didn't get to finish making it. We just talked about it. And he said we were going to start making it. I was like, just trust me. No, I just want it.

I just know I need this in my archive for one day. I just want to be ready. That would be really special. Yeah. Which of your sisters do you trust the most to set you up with the guy? Maybe Chloe. Has she ever? No.

Just feeling. But yeah. Yeah. like she would know me so much but i feel like kendall would make really good choices yeah i feel like kendall's got like a good little rolodex over there that she could be like try this one like she's she's working with the right crowd yeah okay okay this is very important okay what is your take on the Kardashian curse hmm i always really hated that i really did i think it's like really unfair to say that women are the problem when it comes to issues that our exes

might be dealing with and that they had those issues before. And I mean, if you want to talk about the positive, I mean, my mom was with like a gold medal Olympian. When Chloe was with Lamar, there was championships being won, you know, with the Lakers. I was dating a football player and he won the Super Bowl. I mean, there was like really positive, amazing things that happened. And then I do appreciate what you said about that because I agree with you. I think there's such a fixation on what happened to the men also as if there's no accountability on their part. like it has to be all of you are just wow okay you're all so powerful that you did this to all these men

and they have no hand in their life and they have no autonomy it's just these crazy witch sisters that were able to do no accountability someone that doesn't take accountability is my biggest pet peeve and my biggest red flag and my biggest just like bottom line absolutely not and i think that that is such a thing if you think about it blaming us when, okay, this person was, you know, doing this before. Like, people just don't want to put the accountability on the men. And that really does bother me. Out of all the baby daddies. Who's your favorite? I think I'm the closest with Tristan. Okay. And Scott. I forgot about, yeah, Scott, we're super close. I mean, Travis is such a great, you know, person to all of us. Yeah, we have some pretty good baby daddies. Can we talk about the state

of you and Kanye's co-parenting relationship? What do you think co-parenting with Kanye West is like? Well, yeah, I guess that's what I'm curious. I'm wondering how are you doing and how much is on you Kim it's not easy um but i mean i raise the kids you know full time they they live with me and i welcome a great healthy relationship with my kids and their dad and i think you know he knows that i push for it all the time but i also protect them when you know it's time for that and it goes in waves and phases and it's it's you know a lot of work but like I said earlier like I have the best memories and the best relationship you know with my dad and even like I love that you know I see Tristan puts you know their kids

to bed every night and takes them to school every day when he's not you know in season so I I just welcome healthy relationships, but it's not easy. When was the last time Kanye saw the kids? Hmm. Whenever he'll call for them and ask, it's probably been a couple months since we've heard from him. But how do you handle because it's all on you. those moments, the disappointment, if any, from the kids? Like, how do you explain those moments to them? They always knew that he had a big life traveling before and was always on tour and all of

that. So it's, it's, you know, and that he lives in different countries all the time and loves to live all over the place. So, you know, we manage it really well. Like, they, they love, like, their life and their routine and their schedule. And I think just their job as their mom is just to make sure that they stick to their routine and they're healthy and happy and you know look it's not easy no matter what co-parenting with anyone you know and it's i i think that the one thing that just gets me is that there's this narrative that like i keep the kids i've never once you know away from him i've never once done that all and like there's been so many times where i've been like I just want to show all of these texts.

What are you talking about? Like, it's been, you know, we just haven't heard. I begged them, you know, to go hang out or things like that. But it's more of just the narrative that, like, I think it's all good and we're living our life. And then I just wake up and there's all these tweets about how I've kidnapped the kids. And I'm like, it's not a kidnapping. It's a divorce. You know, like it's, we can still all be in each other's lives.

and have group dinner. I mean, I just grew up so different, seeing my family, you know, co-parent, so great. You know, and I see it with Chloe and Tristan. And I see, I just see really healthy relationships. So when the time is right, I'm sure that would, you know, maybe timelines. You know, my mom would always say, like, you got to give it like five years of being divorced before everything, like, really comes together. And everyone can, like, coexist.

and like be friends but it's not going to be like that for the first few years so i appreciate you clarifying that though because i was going to ask you like what you think the biggest misconception about your co-parenting dynamic was and if i'm honest it was because i was kind of wondering about that because i agree with you i feel like i have seen online some people really speculate like oh my god like she's she doesn't let him see the kids and she's just keeping them to herself and blah blah because of tweets or whatever that we've seen so then people can allude like, wow, Kim's not letting him see them. And I do think again, it's-

Every time he has asked, I will always let them see their father. That's just who I am. You know, if there's a time where it's just really super unhealthy, I will, you know, say, hey, let's do it here at my house or let's figure out a different time. But actually, when he is like that, he doesn't really want to see the kids a lot. So if he's like having a hard time like he he doesn't and so it's always worked out But you know he lives in all these different countries and I send them and you know to Saudi Arabia and Italy and Japan and all over the world every time he asks I've never once denied it

And no I don't keep the kids and I think that that all that narrative really sucks for me And if I spoke out about it and rebutted it I'm just not that girl online that's going to like fight back and and be like, wait a minute, your assistant and you said you wanted a whole different birthday party and you said your party's at four, so we did ours at noon, and now you're going online saying that I'm, like, it's just a totally different narrative than what the reality is, and that just really sucks. Yeah. I was wondering that because, you know, the world has obviously seen it. like Kanye has said some pretty like horrible things about you as a mother publicly and you never really respond. What toll does it take on you to stay silent? I know. There's been so

many times where I've written a draft and been like, I'm going to go. I'm just like, and then I'm just like, what's the point? You know, what is the point? Is it, am I going to go back and forth, my kids are going to see this, they'll figure it all out when they want to make those decisions. And I used to be so protective and so like hide everything. And then, you know, sometimes it's like you just can't hide at all and I better prepare them for what life is going to be like for when they figure it all out. So I mean, I never say anything negative about my kid's dad just because, like, it's out there. Like, the last thing my kids need is for them to hear it from me.

And I never saw my parents talk bad about each other, no matter what was going on. So I do think that that's just who I am. I just don't want to go there with, like, fighting back saying negative things, you know? And I think that's something that so many people, really respect you for but i think there's also the side of people that are like i don't know how she does it yeah because there's been so many moments that i can yes i can imagine i would write the draft too and then right as you're going to post you're like why i wish i did last time i had a good post ready to go did you at least send it to your like sisters oh yes the group chat read it

approved it what do you think was one of the hardest moments for you to stay silent on I don't care what you say about me. I don't care what you say about the world and your beliefs and any of that. Anything about my children. I don't care what it is. You know, that's hard for me to sit back and be like, come on. You know, even just like, you know, sharing stuff about them, you know? Yeah.

It is hard to, it is hard to sit back and when he. says things about my mom, that's what's really hard for me because she loves him. And to this day, like, still does and is super, you know, emotional about it and sad about it. And it was a big part of our lives, you know? So, I mean, my kids, I say such positive things about their dad that, like, North had to say to me, mom, I think you go upstairs and, like, you know, cry. at night like it's okay like it's time to move on you need to have a boyfriend now because like you know and I'm like wait what like what I cry like no I'm getting a massage like upstairs what what do you think is happening and I and I was like oh my God I say such positive things all

the time and I'm like in the car if they want to listen to music like as hard as it is for me like I want them to think the best things you know and so she was just like you know like, like, they see things, you know, so I'm just like, okay, I got to give it up. You're like, mom, chill. Like, we get it. Yeah. You don't have to keep pretending. They're like, oh.

We see what it is at this point, you know? Like, come on. So I was like, oh, okay. Fair. I'm just going to never mention it again. North clock, you be like, get a boyfriend. You're like, oh, shit, North. Okay.

You just, even just, you talking about your kids, everything you say, it goes back to your children. You just seem like such an incredible. mom. What do you think is your best quality as a mom? I am extremely close with my kids. Like, like, best friend, they know I'm their mom, but like I am the mom that they all come and tell everything to. I know all the tea at school. I know I'm the one with all the friends. They come and tell all the stuff too. So like all their friends, like trust me and want to tell me everything. And I love being in that position. You know, every weekend, there must be about eight to 12 kids

sleeping at my house every single weekend. Do you love that? I love it. I've gotten like these huge big like sleeping bag like things and they just like go in a row and I have bunk beds and like it's like the house like every weekend. So that makes me really feel really good about that. I just have such a great relationship with my kids that we talk about everything. And that just makes me so proud.

Proud of like who they are. And it's funny because like, I don't talk about it a lot on our show, but, like, there was a phase where, like, you know, maybe my daughter, like, for a week wanted to sleep over at her dad's. And I said, like, oh, she wants to go live with him. Or I said something. And then people thought, we didn't have a good relationship. And I'm like, wait, wait, this is like my bestie. We're, like, the closest.

And so it's like a fine line of also, like, there's so much I want to share about them on the show. And I just, I want him to grow up and, like, figure it all out. But, like, I have the best kids and I'm so, like, happy that they're mine. No, it's really cool. I mean, four kids, I was thinking about it before you got here. I'm like, they have the most unique names. Yes. Is there any name that you had on your mind for any of them that you could share with us that didn't make the list?

Yeah. Okay, so when North was born, Kanye wanted to name her Noriega. and so then we went with like Noriega Nori North so that like yeah or he wanted to name her his mom's name Donda and we considered that but I'm a big believer in like your own name and so you're not having to live up to a standard of what someone thought they wanted you to be like or what like push you in to someone who you're not. So I really wanted her to have her own name. Let's talk about North. Let's talk about North. Okay. As you basically just said, she's so outspoken. She has so many, I love. I love. how she's like get a boyfriend mom um what is the most humbling thing she's ever said to you oh she will humble me i mean i think she just said to me like the other day like mom you've got to get remarried like you're getting too old and like no one is like gonna deal with this and i was just like

what she says it to me all the time she's like who are we going to set you up with like what are we gonna do and I'm like babe I'm just okay like chilling and she's like no you're you're like growing out of that phase you're like not gonna you know and I'm like huh okay I'm dying it's like literally she's speaking to Kim Kardashian she's like you're kind of like losing it a little bit go get a guy you're like oh okay North yeah um how did you feel when she called your house ugly she yeah she thought that like really dug deep with me and she would be like like everything's all beige like you're so ugly. I have this voice note that I'm going to save for her and she was crying saying that she had couldn't believe that her parents love Valenciaga

and by the way it's like her favorite brand and it's like all she wears and like but at the time she was just like I can't believe this is these are the brands my parents own and everything is so beige and everything is so like she had a moment and now she's like obsessed of course yeah of course she's like wait mom can i borrow that you're like i thought you hated it yeah yeah um online there's been so much conversation about her recently but how is all of that affecting your family right now you know what she's so um she's so creative and she's so amazing and really it's so funny she's like really mature in one sense where she'll be like mom i saw this and like i don't really care that they don't like if someone says they don't like my blue hair or like my

you know like this or that and she's really confident and is like i probably wouldn't be hanging out with those people like if you saw like what did they look like and what are they wearing and you know and I think like any mom of a teenager or a preteen unless you've been here like please we just need a little bit of grace like it's really hard and it's really like it's interesting because all the kids are like wearing the same things but then my daughter tries to wear it and then I'm like okay we're never wearing that again unfortunately we made that mistake in front of the whole world and she's she's usually a girl that dresses like a tomboy most of the time and she wanted to try something that her friends were wearing and went to the same place that they went to and they all got these outfits and then she wears them and it's just like you know okay wait maybe you can't wear that you know and so as a mom you're kind of like learning at the same time but what I do know is my baby's such a good girl and such a sweet girl and like the things that she has

experienced where she might have like been outspoken or did something she learns from that and she sees it and then she's like oh i don't like like how i said that and oh i don't want to be like that or oh you know what mom okay you're right like she does listen to me but in other areas i'm like babe if you want blue hair like it is what it is you know that's it makes her so happy i would never take that creative away from her um but yeah i just think anyone that's raising kids, especially for kids by myself, I'm doing the best that I can, and my babies are good babies. So I just urge everyone to, like, not be judgmental and to have grace on single moms trying to figure it all out with, like, you know, a preteen. It's a lot. If you know,

you know. Yeah. And I think it's also, like, having grace for a child where we all have been there experimenting with our look and whatever and we didn't have to have it on you know people watching us and commenting if her rebellion is dyeing her hair and like wearing you know whatever and but she's like my bestie and being so close i'd rather my girl be with me and be with me all the time and let's experiment with every hair color like i also nurture her creative side you know she's the girl that comes home and just wants to work in the music studio and can be in the studio for like eight hours straight and loves it and like just thrives off of it. So like I also nurture her creative side also and want that for her. I also love what you said about how you have

become the mom where like everyone's coming to you and telling you everything. And I think that's so beautiful because one, I feel like you have that with your sisters. Yes. And you kind of like have now been able to have that extension of yourself be available to your kids and their friends. And so I think, I think it's incredible that they do feel comfortable to come and talk to you rather than kids that are like, whether they're hiding it or whatever. Everyone's situation is different. But I, what you're essentially saying is you've got a handle on it. You know how you're parenting. Everyone come down.

Now focus on if you're having to parent and like let this kid live. Totally. Like my house is like literally, my door is wide open. All North and her friends come in running in like, you know, trying on my stuff or looking through my stuff. And even like I've had those conversations with North about like making. because she loves her lip liner and she'll be like but mom like I grew up literally my whole life sitting in your lap while you're getting your makeup done watching you do it like she even said you know Mario and your your make that your team has been like my teachers I've had the best

teachers and she sits her and her friends like I love that they're also super immature and like not grown and what they do on their weekends is they go in the room and they they do all their makeup or like looks like they'll make someone Pokemon we have you know she does special effects makeup all the time and is taking classes so like she turns all of her friends into these characters or or and then they like take fun pictures and do silly like tictox and then you know they wash it all off and then they try something on again so she's like for me to not want to wear lip liner and like you know have her eyebrows slit or whatever she does like she's like it's just me like trying things and like

like I've seen you do it like your whole life. Like I've grown up with it. Why can't I try it? So I'm like, you know what? Okay. Like, it's beautiful. Yeah. Let's talk about business. Yes. Throughout your career, what has helped you really figure out what you're passionate about and what your strengths are? Well, I think anytime something is really successful that I've done has been something that I just absolutely love and I'm so passionate about. And I think that you have to, like, sift through what that is. And that doesn't always mean something that's, like, super amazing financially. It could be, like, a little one-off project that I want to do just because I love the product and I'm really into it.

And I think anytime there's something that you just, like, really love and you're working, like, 100% behind it, it'll pop off and be so successful. Yeah. Let's talk about skims. Yeah. It was initially called kimono. when you first launched a lot of backlash, then you guys ended up changing the name. How were you able to pivot so successfully?

Yeah, I mean, that was a name kim, is obviously in that. And I just thought it was like kind of kitsy. It was a little confusing. Like, did we only sell kimonos? Or I don't think we really thought that through. But as soon as we started getting backlash, we had like a million garments printed with the logo in it.

And I thought, like, this is a huge business decision, but there's no way we can move forward with the name. I didn't feel comfortable with it. And we quickly pivoted and just skims came to us. And it's such a better name. And it's so good. Yeah. It's so good.

So I gave our kimono.com. I gave that all over to, you know, the people in Japan that really, you know, deserve that. And I think if you have such respect, I had so much respect for the culture, I would never want to do anything to really, you know, make it be a big issue every time I had a launch. I knew immediately something had to change. So it was just like, look, I know I'm not going to get the garment printed logo. I'm going to have to now put a logo on top and sew them on. And like, let's take a beat. Let's redo this. Let's figure out a new name. And I think, again, it's about taking accountability. You own up to it. You take accountability and you fix it and you move on.

It's such a great point. Every business has its hiccups. Every business has a moment. we were like, we did this wrong. And I think how quickly you were able to pivot, I also think garnered so much respect also because people were like, okay, wow, she acknowledged it. She took accountability. She moved on. Then you go to grow this massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive success. It is so beyond impressive. In the beginning days of skims, what were you the most involved in? I think it still remain the same. I do like all. the creative, all of the, now we have big product teams. But like a lot of our design is what things that I'm, you know, requesting and send references for, the whole team will go out

and get fabrics. I'm always picking the fabrics. I do all of our colors. My favorite thing to do is do our color palette. But I oversee like every campaign and pick all the, you know, talent for the campaigns. And we'll have a whole team that'll bring me like different campaign ideas. photography. So I oversee it all daily. And it's about knowing how to get the right people that really know what they're doing to be in those positions that you really trust to make those decisions if you can't, if I can't. But we're all super close and really involved. And yeah, I love it. Okay. Talk to me about what is next for skims. I know we have a little something going on with Nike. Yeah, we are launching a full other brand with Nike that we have created. So

Nike skims. And I'm so excited about that because we wanted to launch skim sport and we were going to do a whole sport collection. And then we really thought about it. Like would we do a collab? Who would that be with? And then number one is Nike, right? Like the brand I just thought it was like the ultimate. Right. And then I thought, why would we just do a one-off collab? I want to really have I work out every day. I want to have continuous product in a sport category. And I want to create a whole other brand. And so that's what this is. And it's really exciting. I just can't wait for people to see the collection and the campaign and everything. You're so right. A collab is a moment in time. And this is forever. This is something that we can shop. This is something that will be new launches.

I just think like with our aesthetic and Nike's innovation, that's what I really wanted. And they're distributed all over the world. So it's like I just wanted it to be everywhere. I'm really excited about it. Talk to me about your law journey. Have you taken the bar yet? What's going on, Kimberly? I just took the bar in July.

It was an experience. Tell me. It was a lot. You know, I took four months off. That's why I didn't respond to the bag thing. because I was like, you know what? I'm putting my phone down. I took off four months to really focus on that. And I didn't work on anything else. And I just focused on studying. And I took it. And I'm hoping for the best, praying to God. Wait, when do we find out if you pass? November. November.

Okay, wait. And if you pass, are you going to join a practice? Are you going to open your own firm? I would love to maybe work on a few cases and see if I like being a trial attorney. Okay, that's a good start. I think that would be fun before I open up a firm. I mean, I think the ultimate goal is just to help as many people as possible and get them out. For people that, like, can't really, you know, afford the attorney's fees and need help really finding the right team, getting all their paperwork done to help, like, expedite the process of just getting them home. And I think it all stems again from family, right? I want to reunite families.

That's what got me into this. I thought, like, what happens if someone in my family does something that is a horrible decision and then it tears apart our whole family forever? And I would see, it's not just like the person that goes away. It's like their whole families. And so that's kind of why I got into this. And, you know, I went to the White House and I was called to a clemency meeting in the Roosevelt room and I'll never forget it.

I was in a room and everyone was using all this fancy lingo and I just was like what the fuck are they going on? Like easy abbreviations that were like very political stuff that I just like had no clue

what it meant and I'm literally texting another attorney I know across the room like what does this mean? What does this mean? And I was so embarrassed. I didn't act like it. No one would ever know. I handled that like they would have thought

I knew exactly what I was talking about but I didn't. and I was embarrassed inside that I just didn't know what everyone was talking about and I never wanted to feel that way again so will you post if you

fuck yeah I'm not even going to put out into that you're passing I know I think of you know I here's the thing I did it in an unconventional way and I think people assume that it's the easier route and it really isn't you know I had to spend 20 hours a week in a law firm studying um and the program was a four year program and i had enough credits to get in there

but i didn't have my bachelor's degree so i didn't finish college so they were like you can either finish the last year of college and go to three years of law school at a law school or just you have enough credits you could just go right into this four year program but you're going to have to go in yourself and i have to do 20 hours of work a week as an attorney and then learn about it on my own. And so I had to hire, you know, teachers and professors to teach me while I'm working. And I said, you know what? I've never done anything really the conventional way. I don't really care to have my bachelor's degree. I just want my law degree. So I did that. And it took me six years because every time I try to take the baby bar, if you don't pass, you have to wait six

months. So it took me six years. I finally passed that. And you know what? It's like it's such a mind buck taking the bar exam. It really is the hardest thing. Much respect to every law student that takes it. It's like, I can't imagine. I hear you. I see you. I feel you. It's a lot. Okay, well, November, we'll be waiting. You're going to pass. But if not, I'm not going to give up. No, no, you're going to be great. But I'm putting out the good juju. Perfect. I'm not going to, we're not speaking about if you don't. Thank you. You're also playing a lawyer in your new show, all is fair. How? How? How do you have time to do all this? What is going on? I am like the best at time management. You are. I am like, it's my thing. As long as I can take my kids to school,

then in between while I'm getting ready, I, you know, do all my other stuff and my skim stuff and, you know, approving campaigns and images. And like, I, the one thing that I am known for, I think is like the quickest responder on a text. Yeah, I just like get, get it done. We did Courtney respond? Oh.

She's like, bitch, hello, nothing. She goes, oh, geez, what, L-O-L. Okay, so she's not that scared. No. Okay, thank God. Why did you want to get into acting? I wanted to get into acting because, well, I was presented with a unique opportunity for Ryan Murphy.

Yes. And then I thought, I mean, why not? This is so crazy. and then once I did American Horror Story, he was like, can we do the series? And I was just like, okay, I didn't really know what it took or what it entailed or the hours or anything. And then he got the most amazing cast together. Insane. Like I remember when the trailer came out, everyone was like, what, what, what, what, who wait, that, they're in it, they're in it. Like, it was insane. But then I'm thinking about you.

How did filming the Kardashians compared to going and actually being an actress on a set? It's so different. Yeah. It's so different. Well, first of all, I wanted to make sure I was so prepared. I'm walking on this set with these amazing actresses that have seen it all, done it all. The last thing I'm going to do is not be prepared when I show up. I'm gathering that.

You know, I'm like, so I made sure that I set my schedule to where I can just take my kids to school three days a week. and then the other two then I'd drive right in and then the other two 16 hour days you know and it was just it was a lot so it was about

I would sometimes just be finishing at like 7 a.m. roll in be able to drive them to school come back take a nap and then get ready and go back to set so just being like a mom

is obviously the most important thing to me but also seeing showing them my hustle and that I just, it's so fun to try new things. And I figured if I didn't like it, like, it is what it is, you know, but I love it. And it's so fun challenging myself. And I think I had like this, not advantage, but like this familiar, I'm so used to cameras being around me that like I'm not even really aware. So like, it just feels like natural to me. Yeah. We have skims. Mm-hmm.

We have the bar. Mm-hmm. We have acting. Mm-hmm. We have the hardest of them all and the best of them all being a mom. And then we have the next season of the Kardashians. And like, okay, when do you sleep? I love sleep.

Okay, when do you do it. And I could sleep anywhere. You could. Like, if you kind of lean back right now, you could. Totally. Okay. Yeah. I can sleep anywhere anytime.

Okay. That's good, though. So you can just do a quick little 15-minute nap back. ready to go. Yeah. The one thing I'm super excited about is Skim's Beauty. That is coming next. And that's going to be so fucking major. Yeah. When is that coming? I had, you know, I loved KKW Beauty and then I sold the company and then I bought it back. So I sold that to Skims. Do you see, though, every single person online being like, if you don't bring back the lip, lip liners. They are coming. And the KKW beauty. Like the, you know, the original. I feel like I try to do something. I love when I like know what works and then I try something and I know what doesn't

work and that's okay. And so we're going to bring back what works. And we're going to make it so major and so great. Dude, there are girls online that would be like, there's this much left. And I literally refuse to use it unless it's like for my wedding or for my wedding. I'm like, oh, the girls are going to be so happy. Yeah. That, that's like, people were, I think, so confused when they were like, wait a minute, she bought back her beauty business, but then Skims bought it, what's happening? Like, why did she do that? So I just, Skims has such a great production team and, you know, you know, from like our team and our camp, like, we're going to make it so much fun and just fragrance and makeup and all the things. Girl. For someone who literally started and people were like, oh, she's just famous for

nothing. You try it. You know? If it's nothing, try it. Give it a go. Yeah. How easy. Yeah. Next season of Kardashians. Can you give us anything that you can tease? Well, you kind of did earlier. Yeah. My brother's on. How did you guys get him on? I think Chloe was teasing that. It's just like sometimes he feels like it. Sometimes he doesn't, you know, and we respect that, you know. We respect all of the privacy and whatever he wants. What else? Caitlin was on. She hasn't been on this whole series. Okay. Yeah. I'm excited. Yeah. Kim Kardashian. I cannot. That wasn't that bad, right? You answered a lot of the questions. I wasn't sure what you were going to be up to today. Yeah. Well, because, you know, you've been around the block.

Like, I know. I'm an open book, though. Yeah. No, and I know. It's like we've seen so much of your life. So I didn't know how much you would be willing to share or not share because you're also in a different phase of your life where it's like you said, like, you do have kids and you have these things and that you're, you're protecting certain parts of yourself, but you've always been open. So I don't know why I thought maybe you would hold back. You lived up to every hype.

You gave me all the tea that I hope. and you're just as incredible in person. Like this was such an incredible interview. Thank you for sitting down with me. That is so nice. Really cool to meet you. I'm so happy I came.
