A new Kim Kardashian biography is about to hit shelves, and the story behind the book might be juicier than the book itself. Journalist Jonathan Van Meter told The Hollywood Reporter that Paris Hilton canceled a planned interview for Citizen Kim 17 times over four months. He said the cancellations eventually became more interesting than anything she would have told him.
Van Meter also claims that when Kim found out, she was furious, stirring up what he called“ancient irritation”between the former friends. But a source close to the situation disputes that version, saying Kim isn’t mad and the two still support each other and each other’s projects. The two have a long history that goes all the way back to the 2000s, including a famous reunion at Kris Jenner’s Christmas Eve party in 2016.
Citizen Kim drops October 27. Until then, the internet gets to do what it does best: debate whether this is genuine bad blood or a very well-timed book launch. Do you think the author’s account is credible, or is a source denial closer to the truth? Sound off below.
