She continued, âSometimes I feel like, ‘OK, I know I should probably take care of it and be done with it. Someone is going to ask me, so I might as well go and do it.

Although KUWTK Executive producer Farnaz Farjam said Kim was “in conflict” and “hated everything” about the tape, they decided to “jump two feet in the first episode” so audiences could get past him.

Kim added that she believed the shoot helped her family “face things” instead of “sweep them under the rug”.
