KIM KARDASHIAN

[music] 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. Take 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. Look at you. Oh, I'm serious. You're Kim fucking Kardashian. Serious. 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 ever two decades. What has been one of the most insane things that you've been ever asked in an interview? I know it'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 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 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 they're like, wait, she said what to her? Whether it was-- 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 OK 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 get all this shit about me and it hurt back then. But now I'm so secure in myself. But in those moments and interviews where you will wear people were doing that to her-- No. No. No. Maybe sometimes. But because she would-- her responses were so great, though. She'd be like, wait, what? What? You're asking-- 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. OK, so that's the negative side. The other side is how many times you've broken the internet is there too many to count. It's so fun to do that. It is 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. That photo-- will forever-- I was literally thinking about. 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 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 a padding. And then we put it on top because it had to sit perfectly straight. So you can tell that's 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 know. I went and worked with John Paul Goode who does the craziest shoots. And it was one shot. And I was like, I pulled him aside and I was like, hey, it's me. There's no publicists here. There's no one here. You want to shoot 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, OK. And he's like, had to go back to sketch it out, think about it. And was like, let's rip it off for 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 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, you're my best. She was pissed. She's like, Kim, how many times is this going to happen in my life where I'm like, Kimberly? But then she's also like, OK, send me my 10% bitch. Totally. Like, we give her heart attacks. But it's gone-- I don't know how I would deal. As a mom, I'm going to have to. I'm going to have to. I do. You do. We're going to get to that. But do you think your mom is unfazed? 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 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 to lose our minds and our family chat today? Because like-- It's all right. 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? It's such a good point. And so we do talk about stuff like that. OK, good. Because I feel like when you become more normalized at things and desensitize, 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. It's so good. OK, 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. OK. We're going to start with the classic. OK. Losing your diamond earring in Bora Bora. Through and through, it is a viral TikTok audio still now. It is very purpose. 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. Wait, and which-- I forget what session was like giving you shit for-- Courtney. It's always Courtney. Yeah. Yeah. I shouldn't have even asked. I knew it in my heart. OK, 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 fast 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, Birken, 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 every one, 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-- Did she copy? Did she? Did she copy? OK. So I was like, OK, you know what, fucking, 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 respond to my text or anything for like two weeks. So this store text 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. I 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, I'm talking 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. OK, I'm 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 there. Oh, I must have a different one. I call her assistant, not on there. She can't 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? Yeah. 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, as she used it, yeah, she doesn't even know. And 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. OK, so is Kylie the favorite? I think a little bit. And I think that that's OK. I think she's the baby. And I think that-- but I think it's warranted. I think she has a really close relationship with my mom and is really sweet. I think Chloe's also a big favorite. She has a different relationship with everyone, but I would say it's Kylie and Chloe. OK. 2011, we're going back. Any memories. Getting your butt x-ray to prove it was real. I think this was like-- Wasn't that ridiculous? Seasons just that-- Seasons six? Seasons a thing. But it was fun. I think we even said, oh my gosh, let's go do this. I remember that. I broke the internet kind of because everyone's like what a concept that she's like-- And an a-- And an a-- Actually-- And an a-- Yeah. OK, 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. OK, I was going to ask you. So you have it. I have all of them, yeah. So when I know everyone knows, like Paris always I conically 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 I upload it. So 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 photo that goes in my phone, I upload them. So I just spend time. So each kid has every single year in picture form, video form, like every video that I've ever taken, every event, every, you know-- Every ex boyfriend. Everything. Everything. Everything. Because you kind of have to save 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 do have a problem of like only remembering the good. That's like something that is like a thing. OK. 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, can they literally fuck too over? But I feel like you wouldn't go back to some of that fuck too 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. You don't have time. You know? Your 2021 all black met galalook. OK. Talk to me about when you went inside. Did you take it off? And no. So you 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. OK. I was committed. I was really nervous wearing that. And Domna, the designer, was really good at-- OK. You don't really have to wear the mask. But let's talk about it. Let's think it through. Let's like-- you know? And that was 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, OK, perfect. Like you're here with me. And then you know-- OK. There were rumors that you wore it over your face because you had gotten a facelift that year confirmed 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. That was 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 to you. Don't worry. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] We're going to play a game. I love being in an interview where you don't know what the questions are. Things can be so contrived these days. And I love 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 going to get a little bit more heated. OK. We've got this, Kim. OK. OK, this is why I asked you to bring your phone into the interview. OK. It's called Confessor Text, keeping up with the card Ashin's edition. Here's how it works. I am going to ask you a pretty juicy question. You can answer it. We go to the next one. 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. OK. Are you ready? Do you have your phone? Yes, I do. I do. OK, 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. It's a right amount. If I'm working, then they pay for it. So I try to get it all paid for so that I don't personally have to pay for it. Smart? Yeah. But a tally. I mean, I don't have a concept of what certain simple things cost, which really is-- I'd like to know a little bit more about what like a milk carton cost. And let me think about this. You can text. No. I mean, it's probably-- You like all your business managers. Yeah. I should know this, actually. I 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? You got a lot of cheap. Babe, it looks great. You know? But I don't know. Are those K tips? No. It's like my hair is to here right now. So I just like we braided it up and just like glued them on top. There was this like blonde-- Chris Abelton 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 up. So you can maintain your hair? Yeah, just so that my hair-- And you don't always wonder. It's like, how do you get this? I have really good hair. OK, so it's maybe a million dollars. Maybe five. Not five. Not five. Not five. Below five, maybe one. Yeah. OK, onto 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 up. 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. And 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. He's like a good dear friend of ours and the whole family. But who thought that that was a good idea? 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 Yeah, 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 I've never said anything crazy I've never done anything crazy Maybe just like by association being around people and people thinking even on the fringe a couple times But it's never really got you like what do you think that I would have done? Well, I can't say that tell me no, I can't say it. I Don't need a whole nation coming for me. Okay, go Text Courtney. I just or cart. 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 memowing her because that's text Yeah, cuz if you say period I'm not saying like period. Okay, that's good. Let's do what she says Do you think she's gonna 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 you we see you guys fight But I have a sister so it's like I'll leave it there. She got 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 will 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 that's second. Yeah, 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 we will think that you were texting me and she like I thought we were dumb with each other I'm like yeah, we will be after this wait.

You're kidding? Yeah, I'm doing a podcast. The Call Her Daddy podcast. Chris, 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. 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? 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 how to 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. 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. And Kendall and Kylie are like losing their father and 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 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 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 has been 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. 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, it 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 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 decisions 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 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. Over 15 years we were together. Going back to those kind of beginning happy days, like what initially drew 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. 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. But 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 was, 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? [BLANK_AUDIO] - Of course, you know, or you like, you wanna 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 gotta 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 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 two 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 like then stick with it. 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 during certain times. So I think, but also people were really 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, where people are like, this isn't for you. And no one did that. 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? 'Cause 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 and some capacity. - I mean, I think that extra pressure just makes it a little bit harder. I think people were gonna be, I thought like, oh my god, everyone's gonna be so upset with me 'cause I'm just like leaving and I wouldn't want someone to think I was leaving someone 'cause 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 they might respect my decision and see that. But 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? And 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 gonna 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 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 feeling safe, you know? Not even physically, just like maybe emotionally or even, you know, financially, 'cause you have, you know, big ideas that 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's all our cars? Like my new car and it would be like, oh, he gave him away to all of his friends and then I'd be like, 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 'em guys, you know? Like, I don't know what to say, but like, I never felt like, I didn't know, you know, what you're gonna 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 with a big thing that I mean. - 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 gonna 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 gonna 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. - Publicly obviously having a public marriage, you know, a vocal X, like how has that impacted your current approach to dating? - You know, it has definitely affected that, you know, there has been situations where like I'll get maybe close to someone and it's like, we, we, we, we, I don't really want to deal with your X 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, 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 non-issue. I don't think he would say something but then I, 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, 'cause I think like any high profile relationship that you're in, there's gonna be some comparison to that person's ex. [Music] (upbeat music) - 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'm there 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's 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 gonna 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 same as women in the world. How do you even approach dating? - Oh, it's like usually friends like. - So you're 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 gonna ask. - 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 gonna, you've met many people I'm sure in the industry that you're like, oh fuck, that sucks. - Yeah. - So you never know. And I was wondering if it would be unattractive to you as someone's like a little nervous. You want something 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 mesh 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 have a method right person that I wanna blend my life with. - I don't know. - I don't know if I have a method right person yet. - Yeah. - How did 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, - No. - 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. - I think I'm good. - Oh, Kim. - Yeah. - I like that for you. - Yeah. - I feel like you need someone to really mentally and emotionally stimulate you. - Yeah. - 'Cause you're fucking smart. - Thank you, babe. - What is something that you use to be attracted to that you're not anymore? - Lash. - I used to be attracted to like big and flashy and I could care less. - What if you walked in and cack, he's an Apollo? - I mean, I would want him to dress like Burkins. - Yeah, no, no, no. - Okay. - Like I would want him to have like style. - Or you could 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. - Mm-hmm. - 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. - Someone's in your old, not like super recently. 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 person, I'll always call the person and go off. - Call the person that they cheated with? - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. - God, it's been so long, yeah. - You're like, it's like psychosite 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 find it after he told you or no? - I was in a tough position. I didn't. Now 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 he would get married again? - I would, absolutely. - Would you do a big wedding? - I think it depends on the person. I could easily just do a super cash. No, I can't do cash, but yeah, but it would depend on the person. - It's cute that you tried for a minute. You're like, I'm so casual. Backyard, you're like, what am I talking about? If you had to say today, who would you want to design your wedding dress? - Well, I was starting to have man-fred Terry Mugler design a wedding dress even though just because I wanted it in my archive of 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? - Mm-hmm. - Yeah. I'd still go with that wedding dress that I would want. - Okay. Oh, you would still, you would go back to that archive. - Yeah, I really loved it. This like Terry Mugler wedding dress. - And is it just like in one of your archives? - No, we didn't get to finish making it. We just talked about it. And he said we were gonna 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 a guy? - Maybe Chloe? - Has she ever? - No. - Just feeling like. - 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 rola dex over there that she could be like, try this one. Like she's working with the right crowd. - Yeah. - Okay. Okay, this is very important. - Okay. - What is your take on the Kardashian curse? - 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 wanna 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 'cause 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, oh 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. - There's 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 doing this before. Like people just don't wanna 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, yes, 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. But I mean, I raised the kids, you know, full time. 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, 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 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 in 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. I'll, 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 beg them, you know, to go hang out or, 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, it's, you, we can still all be in each other's lives and have grouped in. 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, um, 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 co-existing 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 code parenting dynamic was. And if I'm honest, it was because I was kind of wondering about that because I agree with you. I think 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, 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. Every time he is 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 do 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 be like, wait a minute. You're assistant in you said you wanted a whole different birthday party. And you said you're parties 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 it 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 kids 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. So do you at least send a tear like sisters? The group chat, Reddit 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, if 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, 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 massage. Like upstairs. What, what, what do you think is happening? 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 that, you know, so I'm just like, okay, I got to give it up. You know, I'm chill. Like we get it. Yeah. You don't have to keep retelling. Yeah. They're like, oh, we see what it is at this point. You know, like, oh, okay. Fair. Just gonna never mention it again. North clock. You'd be like, get a boyfriend. You're like, oh, yeah. Shit, North. Okay. Um, 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. Thank you. 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 T at school. I know I'm the one with all the friends they come and tell all the stuff to. 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 and there must be about eight to 12 kids sleeping at my house every single weekend. I'm like the house, I love it. I've gotten these huge big sleeping bag, things and they just go in a row and I have bunk beds and it's like the house 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 who they are. And it's funny 'cause I don't talk about it a lot on our show but there was a phase where I like, you know, maybe my daughter, for a week wanted to sleep over at her dad's and I said, "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 my bestie." We're like the closest. And so it's like a fine line of also, there's so much I want to share about them on the show and I just, I want them to grow up and figure it all out, but I have the best kids. And I'm so 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, Norie, 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 pushing you into someone who you're not. So I really wanted her to have her own name. - Let's talk about North. - Okay. (upbeat music) - Let's talk about North. - Okay. - As you basically just said, she's so outspoken, she has so many, I love how she's like, get a boyfriend mom. 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 gonna set you up with? What are we gonna do? And I'm like, babe, I'm just okay. Like chilling. And she's like, no, you're growing out of that phase. You're like not gonna, and I'm like, huh, okay. - I'm dying. It's like literally, she's really Kim Kardashian. She's like, you're kind of like losing it a little bit. Go get it. You're like, okay, North. 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, everything's all beige. Like you're so ugly. I have this voice note that I'm gonna save for her. And she was crying saying that she had, she couldn't believe that her parents love Balenciaga. And that, 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. - Like, wait, Mom, Kay, Bar, that, you're like, I thought you hated it. - Yeah, yeah. - 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 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 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, 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 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. But yeah, I just think anyone that's raising kids, especially four 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 dying 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 and telling you everything. And I think that's so beautiful because one, I feel like you have that with your sisters. Yes. I have 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 to 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 makeup 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 do all their makeup or like looks like they'll make someone Pokemon. We have, you know, she does special effects make up all the time and is taking classes. So like she turns all of her friends into these characters or and then they like take fun pictures and do silly like TikToks 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, 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 any-- there's something that you just like really love and you're working like a hundred percent behind it. It'll pop off and be so successful. Yeah. Let's talk about skims. Yeah. It was initially called kimono. Mm-hmm. 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 kimono. You know, my name Kim is obviously in that and I just like thought it was like kind of kitschy. It was a little confusing. Like, did we only sell kimonos or I, you know, 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 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 a take-ups. Every business has a moment where you're 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 like, okay, wow, she acknowledged it. She took accountability. She moved on. Then you go to grow this 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 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 and 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. 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 skimsport. 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 or 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 a, 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. 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. Talked 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, 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, and 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. We, when do we find out if you pass? November. November. Okay. 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. I think that would be fun before I open 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 like fancy lingo. And I just was like, what the fuck are they doing? 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. I'm 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. Yeah. You're passing. I know. I think 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 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 will 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. I'm going to. But I'm putting out the good juju. Perfect. I'm not going to, we're not speaking about if you don't. Yeah. You're also playing a lawyer in your new show. Yeah. It's fair. 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 it done. We did courty response. Oh, she's like bitch. Hello, nothing. She goes, oh, geez, what? LOL. Okay. So she's serious. 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? 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. - 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. Last thing I'm gonna 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 then 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, we have the bar, we have acting, 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? That's coming out soon. - I love sleep. - Okay, when do you do? - And I could sleep anywhere. - You good. Like if you kind of lean back right now, you could. - Totally. - Okay. - Yeah, I can sleep anywhere anytime. - I mean, that's good though. I can just do a quick little 15 minute nap back ready to go. - The one thing I'm super excited about is skims beauty. That is coming next. And that's gonna 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 liners? - The lip liners are coming. They are coming. And the KKW Beauty. Like the original, I feel like I tried to do something. I love when I like know what works and then I try something and I know it doesn't work and that's okay. And so we're gonna bring back what works and we're gonna make it so major and so great and like so great. - Dude, there are girls online that would be like, there's this much left. - I know. - 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 gonna be so happy. - Yeah, 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 gonna make it so much fun. - The biggest. - I 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. - 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 kinda did earlier. - Yeah, my brother's on. - How did you guys get into this? - I think the way he 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 enter a lot of the questions. I wasn't sure what you were gonna be up to today. - Yeah. - Because you know, you've been around the block. Like I know. - I'm like, I'm gonna open book though. - Yeah, no one I know. It's like, I, for, 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, 'cause 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 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 hoped, and you're just as incredible in person. Like this was such an incredible interview. - Thank you. - Thank you for sitting down with me seriously. - That is so nice. - It's really cool to meet you. - Thank you. - I'm so happy I came.
