Kim Kardashian has gotten into hot water for defending her husband Kanye West’s controversial comments about how slavery was a “choice.” Yesterday, December 6, E! released a promo clip of this week’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where the reality star tried to explain her husband’s remarks. But then, the network pulled the clip, saying that it had been “unapproved” and that Kim wasn’t accurately describing what he said. Click through the gallery for all the drama.

“I always know what Kanye’s intentions are and what he’s trying to say, but I also know that they’re gonna write a headline and people are gonna assume that that’s exactly what you said and what you meant,” she said.

She continued, “He didn’t say slavery is a choice, he was saying if you’re gonna still be enslaved for another 400 years then that’s some bulls—.” Of course, that’s not what Kanye said. He was not talking about the future, but the past. The comment led E! to pull the clip after Kim received backlash.
