Kim Kardashian’s authorized biography“Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future”arrived Tuesday, and author Jonathan Van Meter did not come to play. The book alleges Kris Jenner had an affair with a soccer player in his twenties back in 1989, and it details Kim’s marriage to Kanye West in ways fans have never heard before. That includes a second engagement ring with“Adidas”engraved inside and Kim’s claim that a gun was held to her head during a 2018 trip to Uganda with West.
Family history gets equal airtime. Kim claims her first husband, Damon Thomas, showed her father nude photos of her sister, and she shares the last words Robert Sr. said to her before he died:“I know you’re going to be good. I can see it.”As for her relationship with West today, Kim says they communicate through his wife, Bianca Censori, and that she worries about him constantly because he’s the father of her children.
So the book is part celebrity memoir, part co-parenting case study, part family therapy session. Which bombshell surprised you the most? Sound off in the comments.
