👤Kim Kardashian told her sisters, “There’s just been so much going on because of that Variety interview.”

explained, “Enough people were triggered, so I want to be responsible and understanding why people feel the way they do, and I do understand that a lot of people weren’t given the same opportunities as us.”
Khloé Kardashian chimed in, saying, “They’re always gonna say, ‘Well, what do you know? You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.’ But it’s frustrating when the world doesn’t want to see you for who you are, and they want to always make whatever you say a personal attack.”
👤Kim Kardashian went on to reflect on how hard her mother worked.
“Growing up and seeing her hustle and seeing her get up every day with all these kids … that she had to take care of, I saw her work her ass off and figure it out … and that really inspired me to work,” she said.
According to 👤Kim Kardashian, “People would assume that I got everything handed to me, being on a TV show. But being on a reality show, let alone a reality-show girl with a sex tape, does not open doors.”
She continued, “I always felt like I had to work extra hard and harder to be taken seriously and for people to forget about my past.”
The reality star explained when she made the remark, “It wasn’t a blanket statement to all women, like as if I didn’t think women work hard or respect the work that they do, because I see it every single day.”
Apologizing, 👤Kim Kardashian added, “The most important people in my life, that have shaped my life, shaped my career, and helped me get to where I am today all are women. So I hated that that got misunderstood, and for that, I’m so sorry.”
Twitter users were quick to blast 👤Kim Kardashian after the comment.
One user wrote, “Coming back to this: if you’ve never had to count pennies to eat or grocery shopped at the 99 Cent Only store, please be quiet.”
