Make Page Six a Preferred Source Kris Jenner confronted Kim Kardashian over a line in the latter’s bombshell biography that left her feeling “insulted.”
Jonathan Van Meter, who Kardashian authorized to write “Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future,” speculated in the Oct. 27 book that while the Skims creator does not think she has “childhood trauma,” she “just doesn’t see it.”
On Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians,” Jenner, 71, declared Van Meter was “putting things in a book that are dramatic and will sell books.”
She demanded, “Tell him you don’t want it to say anything about your childhood trauma because you didn’t have any. I worked really hard at my life and being a mom so nobody had any childhood trauma.”
“You should tell him to take the trauma part out. I’m insulted,” the matriarch continued. “You can tell him, for me, that he can f–k off. … That is very offensive to me.”
Kardashian said she would “make that very clear” to Van Meter as Jenner doubled down.

“My legacy is my children, so I don’t want anybody interrupting what my truth is,” she explained. “And my truth is: I worked really hard raising you guys, and there was no trauma. The biggest trauma that we had was the day that Toys ‘R Us closed.”
Her other daughters agreed, with Khloé Kardashian asking, “Why can’t he take what you say for face value?”
In a confessional, Kourtney Kardashian said, “I don’t think we had some deep, dark trauma, so I would be pissed too if someone tried to say we did.”
Van Meter spoke to the Hollywood Reporter last month about Jenner “flip[ping] out on camera” over the biography, which he spent six years working on by shadowing Kim and interviewing her loved ones.
“She was yelling, ‘Why did Kim drag us all into this? Why is my affair from 30 years ago in the book?'” he told the outlet.
However, Van Meter clarified, “Two days later, Kris was fine. But it’s going to be on the show.”
Jenner, during the episode, expressed her displeasure with Kim pursuing the project at all, calling her “insane” to have “given [their] rights to [their] lives away to some stranger.”
She raged, “You’re giving him access to your entire life, and to our lives. That, you know, is ridiculous. … Why give someone that access?”
Kim, meanwhile, said she “stood behind” the project since “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?”
