Furious Kris Jenner demanded one line from Kim Kardashian’s biography to be removed
There is one line in Kim Kardashian’s new biography that her ‘momager’ Kris Jenner is less than pleased about.
During Thursday’s (12 November) episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder, 46, broke the news to her family that she was going to be the subject of the tell-all book, and that author Jonathan Van Meter had spent over six years chronicling her life and interviewing the people closest to her.
The authorised biography hit the shelves on 29 October, with Kim saying she ‘cried’ when she read it ‘because I thought it was told so well in a way that I’ve never seen myself’.
However, as we say, her family gave the idea a slightly frostier reaction, especially Kris, 71, who said that her daughter authorised the book years ago, ‘unbeknownst’ to her, which she found ‘insane’.

In the new episode of the reality TV show, she told her cousin, Cici Bussey: “I just feel a way about it, because I don’t understand it and no one has ever come to me. I’m her manager!”

She urged: “When I don’t understand something, or something feels off to me, I get a very negative feeling. And then I get to a place, unfortunately, where nothing will change my mind.”
In a confessional, the mother-of-six continued: “I think it’s just better if you tell your own story. Nobody else needs to tell our story. And you don’t go against the family.
“As far as the book goes, I think I just need to talk to Kim about it. She has got a really great head on her shoulders, and I know she’ll make the right decision.”
However, in a confessional of her own, Kim argued: “My take on this was, you know what, there is so much misinformation out there and so much bad information, why wouldn’t we want someone that’s so smart and so genuine and so great to write a great book that’s super interesting and factual and great. So I stand behind it.”

Things got even more icy when Kim revealed that she had seven days to read the book and ‘give her opinion,’ and had stumbled across one line she found ‘so interesting’.
She told Kris, Khloé, and Kourtney: “He says, kind of in quotes, ‘LOL. No childhood trauma? Yeah, right, she just doesn’t see it.’
“And it was just so interesting that he’s convinced that I have childhood trauma because I said my childhood was amazing and perfect. He’s like, ‘Maybe she likes to live that way and maybe that’s how she copes.’”
Understandably, Kim’s family were not best pleased at the author suggesting she has some unresolved childhood trauma.
Kris argued: “Why do we need somebody else criticizing, making commentary on whether or not you had childhood trauma?
“You’re giving him access to your entire life, and to our lives, that, you know, is ridiculous. ... You should just tell him, no childhood trauma conversation.
“You can’t make somebody remember things and have a trigger over nothing. It’s the weirdest thing that somebody else is doing - why give someone that access?”
While Khloé added: “Why can’t he take what you say for face value?” and Kourtney chimed in with: “I don’t think we had some deep, dark trauma, so I would be p***ed too if someone tried to say we did.”
Well, it’s safe to say that Kim won’t be gifting the biography to her sisters for Christmas…
