In a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim Kardashian opened up about her reaction to Caitlyn Jenner’s characterization of her as “calculated” in the docuseries “House of Kardashian,” which aired in November 2023. Despite the potentially hurtful label, the Skims co-founder expressed that she was not disturbed by the comments.
During the Season 5 premiere of “The Kardashians” on May 23, Kim shared in her confessional, “It honestly doesn’t [bother me].” This statement came after she received a flood of concerned messages from friends and fans alike. “I got so many text messages asking if my feelings were hurt,” she revealed, addressing the audience directly about her feelings towards Jenner’s remarks, told Page Six.
“I had such a great stepdad who raised me,” continued the 43-year-old. Kim declared, “So none of those things that are said, even if twisted or whatever, are gonna make me think differently of the life I’ve had.” Interestingly, Kim’s sister Khloé Kardashian said the 74-year-old is “completely free to do whatever she wants”.
“I do find it strange that she would agree to do a documentary I would imagine isn’t trying to paint us in the most beautiful light,” pointed out the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star. Khloé added, “I just know she wouldn’t like that about her. This was my dad for 24 years. It hurts me, too.”
Kris Jenner, who was previously married to Caitlyn from 1991 to 2015, reacted to the Olympian saying her ex wanted to “be more than just a housewife”. The mother said, “Shoot me, I wanted to be more than just a housewife. OK, kill me.” Earlier, Caitlyn talked about her famous family in the tell-all series.
“Kimberly calculated from the beginning, ‘How do I become famous?'” remarked Caitlyn. “I was happy to participate in the interview process to share my side which points to the strength, influence, and prowess my family has in captivating the world’s attention and keeping it over the years,” she stated.
Kim’s response highlights her resilience and capacity to remain unaffected by public opinions or criticisms, even from close family members featured in related media projects. Her calm demeanor in discussing the issue suggests a level of maturity and control, underscoring her public persona as a businesswoman and reality star who navigates family dynamics and media scrutiny with ease.
