Can you keep up? Kim Kardashian candidly addressed an assortment of topics, including her marriage to Kanye West and her Paris robbery, during her New York Magazine’s The Cut interview published on Monday, November 25. The 39-year-old multihyphenate is the first of six high-profile figures highlighted by the magazine for helping “shape” the last decade.
“So I’d say 2010, 2011 was like, ‘I’ll do anything.’ Cupcakes, milkshakes,” she said of early days. “So I go to a milkshake place in Dubai, thinking, ‘Oh, it’s just, you know, some little milkshake store.’ Maybe, like, 250,000 people showed up to the Dubai mall. I had never seen anything like it before. We had to sneak out the back.”
The KKW Beauty mogul continued, “I mean, I took videos of the thousands, hundreds of thousands of people at the mall in Dubai. My mom [Kris Jenner] and I looked at each other — because I made her come with me — and we were like, ‘Holy s–t. What is going on? A milkshake place?’”
According to Kardashian, there is “really nothing” the general public doesn’t already know about her. Beginning in October 2007, she let the world in on her behind-the-scenes life with her family’s E! reality series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The success of this long-running show has inspired several spinoffs, including Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami, starring her sisters Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, and Life of Kylie, which featured the youngest KarJenner member, Kylie Jenner.
Over a decade later, Keeping Up With the Kardashians is still going strong as it’s currently airing episodes from its 17th season. In regards to documenting her life on television, Kim has no regrets.
“I’ve never regretted it. I’ve always felt, like, I’m so grateful to have all of those memories on-camera,” she explained. “I will look back and think, ‘Oh, my God, what was I wearing? Why is my makeup like that?’”
The Selfish author even admitted that she can “sit back and laugh” about how much she “cared” about making a name for herself early on, adding: “Oh my God, I was desperate!”

Kim, who wed the 42-year-old “Famous” rapper in 2014, revealed that the “one consistent thing” in the couple’s marriage is that it’s “never stopped being fun,” even after becoming parents of four kids: North, 6, Saint, 3, Chicago, 22 months, and Psalm, 6 months. “It’s okay to not understand each other. It’s okay to not have the same exact feelings all the time,” she said. “It’s just about figuring out how do we grow from that? Or, what’s the lesson from that? And giving each other space and time to figure that out.”

Kim was asked about the transition from leaked sex tapes as a way to shame women to the rise of revenge porn, to which she reflected on her brother, Rob Kardashian, and his experience on the matter. “That question is a bit tricky. Not even for my situation, but because my brother did post photos of his baby mama [Blac Chyna in 2017] and he’s in a revenge-porn lawsuit,” she said. “Obviously, I get the difference and I would talk about me, but I don’t know the right thing to say without making him feel like the biggest piece of s--t.”
Kim continued by highlighting the things “that have changed” since then with the rise of the #MeToo movement, adding: “I think the Me Too culture goes into the cancel-culture realm, where maybe … Well, I don’t want to speak for people who have been sexually assaulted because I actually don’t know what that’s like. But even just finding love in the workplace … That used to be the only way, you know? So many of my parents’ friends married their secretaries, and were together for 40 years, and have children together. And now it’s like, ‘Oh, how could you?’”

Kim regarded her experience of being robbed at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week in 2016 with helping her come to the “realization” of a new career opportunity: an attorney. “I truly think once I got robbed, it took something out of me in the best way,” she began. “All the things that really mattered to me then deeply — how many bags I had, what car I drove … I still like all that stuff, but it doesn’t matter. It could go away. For so long, people have tried to partner me with things, but this was the first thing where I thought, ‘You know what? I want to go to law school. I want to help people. Let me work for the next ten years and build up my brands, and then one day, in ten years, just give up being Kim K. and become a lawyer.’”
She added that “no publicist would have ever told me to get into prison reform.”

Kim admitted that being a mother to North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm “definitely has a lot to do with” her becoming more political and her pursuit of a law career. “I want my children to have a fair life, and I do believe that race does play a huge role in the criminal-justice system, if you look at all the numbers,” she began.
“Statistically, one in three black men will be locked up in their lifetime. So that does weigh heavy on my heart,” she continued. “I had many conversations with my dad [Robert Kardashian] growing up about being an attorney and what’s fair and what’s not, and maybe I was really sheltered, but I didn’t know all of this was going on. I never had a close connection to someone who had been in prison — to understand how they treat you there and what really goes on. I don’t know if that’s being naïve, if that’s how I grew up.”

Kim revealed that the “one thing” only her inner circle knows that the public doesn’t — until now — is that she loves researching “every single” plastic surgery procedure available. “People call me all the time, like really famous people, out of the blue and are like, ‘I know we don’t know each other, but I’ve heard you’re the expert and I’m looking to do x, y, and z. Who would you recommend?’” she said. “And I’ll be like, ‘Actually, I’ve just researched this!’ I’ll meet with doctors and be like, ‘So when I’m 50, do you think my neck is going to, like … ? What’s the best way to do it?’”

“People do ask that, and I’m like, ‘No, not really,’” she explained. “I do feel like I have really good values, but that’s not what I’m looking to do. I hope that I will always be … advising in some way. I’m hoping that we can put together a really good clemency board that could be really helpful to the White House.”
