Kim Kardashian is worried about North West's public persona, she opens up on the 13-year-old's parenting
North West has already kickstarted her music career by releasing her debut EP and performing live in front of large crowds. She has also developed a distinct public persona, featuring elaborate piercings and striking blue hair. Since North has been in the public eye a lot at just 13 years of age, netizens have often pointed fingers at her parents' upbringing.
North's mom, Kim Kardashian addressed her childcare arrangements in a recent profile for the Times of London. Kim shared that she worries about North's public persona and is taking her 13-year-old's upbringing seriously. The 45-year-old businesswoman then explained the nature of her kids' involvement with her family's reality show The Kardashians.
Kim Kardashian said her firstborn, North is much more enthusiastic on the show than her siblings Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7. It offers a glimpse into North West's passion for the entertainment industry and her love for being in front of the camera. North, who has become a TikTok star and entered the music industry, may also want to become a known face in showbiz.
Kim opened up about her daughter, North's eagerness to appear on The Kardashians, admitting she sometimes has to hold her back. In her words:
'I do worry about it. Each kid does what they're comfortable with. So, my little ones come around when I'm filming, but they don't really do storylines. North loves it a little bit more than the rest. I hold her back."
Kim's word show that she does care about North's public persona and the projects she's involved in, unlike the popular notion that she and Kanye 'Ye' West are absent parents. Many, including journalists and internet personalities, have criticized North's parents for the teenager's bold life choices.
Media personality Megyn Kelly ripped Kim Kardashian and Kanye 'Ye' West over North West's parenting
Megyn Kelly called out North West's parents, Kim Kardashian and Kanye 'Ye' West, for their daughter, North West, being too much in the public eye at just 13 years of age, in an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show. The episode featured doctor and media personality, David Drew Pinsky (popularly known as Dr. Drew), who seconded Megyn Kelly's words.
Both Drew and Megyn expressed concern regarding the kind of parenting North was getting from Kim and Kanye. Megyn said North appeared on the cover of Dazed Magazine with false teeth, blue hair, and facial piercings, and claimed her parents were "rushing to try to make her a star." Drew echoed Megyn's sentiments, saying Kim and Kanye seem like the kind of parents "who have not been available" and "don't look like they're around all the time."
As per Drew, North's parents' lack of attention and time for her led the 13-year-old to make questionable life and fashion choices. At one point during the conversation, Drew stated that North "has bipolar in her genetic heritage", suggesting Kanye's diagnosis, and then claimed that he doesn't fulfill his necessary parenting duties.
