Kim Kardashian has authorized a biography about her life, prompting a strong reaction from her mother, Kris Jenner.

In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Jenner urged the author to remove a passage questioning Kardashian’s account of her childhood.
Kris Jenner reveals how she felt about Kim Kardashian’s biography
According to People, Kim, 46, explained that she agreed to the project to address misinformation about her life. During a confessional, she said: “My take on this was, you know what, there is so much misinformation out there and so much bad information, why wouldn’t we want someone that’s so smart and so genuine and so great to write a great book that’s super interesting and factual and great.”
However, Kris, 71, took issue with a passage in the biography that questioned Kim’s assertion that she had a largely happy childhood without significant trauma. Kim read the passage aloud to her mother and sisters, saying: “He says, kind of in quotes, ‘LOL. No childhood trauma? Yeah, right, she just doesn’t see it.’ And it was just so interesting that he’s convinced that I have childhood trauma because I said my childhood was amazing and perfect.”
The family members had mixed reactions. Khloé questioned why the author would not accept Kim’s own account of her childhood. Kourtney, however, said she would also be upset if someone suggested that their family had deep, dark trauma.
Kris was more direct in her criticism. “Why do we need somebody else criticizing, making commentary on whether or not you had childhood trauma?” she asked. She insisted that she had worked hard to give her children a good childhood.
Referring to the biography, Kris told Kim: “You should tell him to take the trauma part out. I’m insulted.” She continued her criticism of the author, saying: “You can tell him, for me, that he can f— off. … That is very offensive to me.”
