Kris Jenner has challenged a writer’s interpretation of Kim Kardashian‘s childhood. Kris defended her daughter after a passage in Kim’s biography suggested that she might have experienced trauma without recognizing it.
The discussion took place during the November 12 episode of The Kardashians. Kim shared a passage from Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future by journalist Jonathan Van Meter. She brought it up while speaking with Kris, Khloe Kardashian, and Kourtney Kardashian.
The conversation took a tense turn as Kris questioned the portrayal of Kim’s childhood
Kim explained that the writer questioned her claim that she had a perfect childhood. She recalled his response reading, “LOL, no childhood trauma? Yeah, right. She just doesn’t see it.” The passage also suggested that the 46-year-old might view her upbringing positively as a coping mechanism.
Kim disagreed with the interpretation, saying, “I genuinely don’t think I had” childhood trauma. Khloe also questioned the writer’s approach, asking, “But why can’t he take what you say for face value?” Kim agreed with her sister.
Kris then expressed her frustration over the suggestion that Kim might not understand her own experiences. She asked, “Why do we need somebody else criticizing, you know, make a commentary on whether or not you had childhood trauma?”
The mother of six also insisted that the writer respect Kim’s account, adding, “If you say you don’t, then he should do that.” Kris also brought up the access the writer had received to their personal lives, saying, “You’re giving him access to your entire life and to our lives that, you know, is ridiculous.”
The momager subsequently advised Kim to ask the writer to remove the subject from the biography. She said, “Well, you should just tell him no childhood trauma conversation.” Kris also questioned the idea of imposing memories or emotional responses on someone. She added, “You can’t make somebody remember things and have a trigger over nothing.”
The 71-year-old also told Kim to ask the author to remove the discussion from the biography, adding, “You can tell him, for me, that he can f–k off.” Kris also described the passage as insulting, saying she didn’t want someone else making judgments about her children’s upbringing.
Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future is out now.
