Kim Kardashian’s new biography isn’t even on shelves yet, and it’s already causing family drama. According to author Jonathan Van Meter, Kris Jenner“flipped out on camera”when she learned her decades-old affair was included in“Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future,”out October 27. Van Meter says Kim called him late at night to recount Kris’s reaction, which apparently went down while Kim was at Khloé’s house.
The backlash isn’t totally out of nowhere. Kris has openly discussed her affair with Todd Waterman during her marriage to Robert Kardashian, calling it her“life’s biggest regret”on a 2023 episode of“The Kardashians.”Still, Van Meter claims she was“fine”just two days later, and that the whole meltdown will air on the family’s Hulu series. Kim’s take, per the author, is simple: people write about them anyway, so why not cooperate with someone who gets them?
So the question becomes whether this is classic Kardashian marketing or a genuine family fight turned into content. Either way, the book drops October 27 and the show will have the receipts. Are you reading“Citizen Kim”or skipping it? Tell us in the comments.
