Kris Jenner Furious Over ‘Childhood Trauma’ Line From Kim Kardashian Biography: ‘I’m Insulted’

Kris Jenner is feeling some kind of way about the recent biography her daughter Kim Kardashian approved without her knowledge, and she let it all out on the Thursday, November 12, episode of The Kardashians. Citizen Kim was published October 13 after author Jonathan Van Meter spent more than six years following Kim’s life, per People. Despite Kim authorizing the book years ago, Kris was fuming in the latest episode of the family’s reality show.

“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 complained to her cousin Cici Bussey. “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.”

The momager explained her thought process a little more in a confessional. “I think it’s just better if you tell your own story. Nobody else needs to tell our story,” she said. “And you don’t go against the family.”

Over Easter, Kris had it out with Kim, arguing, “Why do you let somebody else write a book for you? Because now it’s about all of us, too. So you’ve just given our rights to our lives away to some stranger.”

“There is so much misinformation out there and so much bad information, why wouldn’t we want someone … to write a great book that’s super interesting and factual,” Kim said in a confessional. “I stand behind it.”

Kris grew even more irate when Kim discussed a passage she was unsure about. “He says, kind of in quotes, ‘LOL. No childhood trauma? Yeah, right, she just doesn’t see it,'” Kim shared, explaining that she’d told Van Meter, “My childhood was amazing and perfect.”

Finally, Kris burst out, “You should tell him to take the trauma part out. I’m insulted. You can tell him, for me, that he can [expletive] off. … That is very offensive to me.”

Van Meter spoke with The Hollywood Reporter on October 23, where he said Kim told him about Kris’ on-camera blow up. “She was yelling, ‘Why did Kim drag us all into this?'” he said. “Two days later, Kris was fine.”

The Kardashians airs Thursdays on Hulu.
