Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleKris Jenner is not happy with how journalist Jonathan Van Meter has described her daughters' childhood in Kim Kardashian's Biography, Citizen Kim. During the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim read a few lines of her book, which hinted that she may have experienced some childhood trauma without knowing it. In turn, the comment hurt Kris, who accused him of creating unnecessary drama.
During the November 12, 2026 episode of the Hulu reality series, Kim shared a few lines from a draft of Citizen Kim, sparking a debate. It read, "LOL. No childhood trauma? Yeah, right, she just doesn't see it." According to Kim, Jonathan appeared confident that her description of her perfect childhood was a way of dealing with the unpleasant experiences that she refused to accept. In turn, she found it interesting.
Meanwhile, her sister Khloe Kardashian questioned why Jonathan could not accept Kim's version. Kourtney chimed in and said that she would also be upset if someone said that their family had experienced some kind of trauma. The chat then turned to Kris Jenner, who was visibly offended by the suggestion.
In turn, Kris made it clear that she wanted those lines removed from the biography. She also asked her daughters why an outsider should be allowed to decide whether her children faced childhood trauma. The momager also accused Jonathan of adding these dramatic lines to make the book more sensational for increased sales. In her words:
"I worked really hard at my life and being a mom so nobody had any childhood trauma."
Kris also admitted that those lines felt like a personal criticism of her parenting. She also told Kim to ask Jonathan to remove the mention of childhood trauma. In fact, Kris mentioned that she was insulted by this interpretation made by him. Sharing her stance, she said:
"You can tell him, for me, that he can f--k off,"
The 71-year-old further explained that her children were her legacy. So, she will not want someone else changing the family's version of events. In a lighter context, Kris joked that the biggest trauma faced by her family was "the day that Toys' R Us closed."
For those who don't know, Kim Kardashian's biography, Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future, was written by Jonathan Van Meter after five years of research. During this time, he had countless conversations with Kim, her family members, and close friends. Overall, the book describes her rise from a young woman growing up in Beverly Hills to one of the most popular celebrities and businesswomen in the world.
The biography also explores several personal chapters of Kim's life, like Kris Jenner's 1989 affair that led to the end of her marriage to Robert Kardashian Sr. It also shares insights into Kim's marriage and split with her ex-husband Kanye West. One important revelation was about how the rapper gave Kim a second engagement ring in 2016. It was engraved with the word "Adidas" after he got his first Yeezy paycheck.
Kim Kardashian did not rise to fame overnight. Initially, she grew up around famous Hollywood personalities in Beverly Hills. There she developed an early interest in celebrity culture and business. Kim started her career as a stylist and close organizer for wealthy clients. In fact, her close bond with Paris Hilton also brought her media attention. They used to frequently appear together in paparazzi photos.
Kim came into the spotlight in 2007 when a leaked sex tape from 2003, including her and her then-boyfriend Ray J, went viral. After a few months, Kris pitched the idea of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to the show's producer Ryan Seacrest. Eventually, Kim began to turn the attention into a business empire. She launched businesses like KKW Beauty and SKIMS. Eventually, they made her popular in the entertainment, fashion, and business industries.
