Kim Kardashian admits regret for saying ‘nobody wants to work anymore’

Kim Kardashian is addressing the backlash she received after she was slammed for saying ‘nobody wants to work anymore’ in an interview published earlier this year.

In a teaser for The Kardashians, the billionaire makeup mogul reacts to the drama as she turns to sister Khloe Kardashian for help – who seems to remind Kim that she’ll little sympathy from her everyday fans. 

‘I have the best advice for women in business,’ Kim, 41, had told Variety in March this year. ‘Get your f***ing ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.’

The comments sparked a huge backlash for the star, and fans will now get to see how Kim handled the controversy in real time.

When asked about what she should do, Khloe deals Kim a reality check by reminding her: ‘No one sympathizes with you!’

‘I’m mortified, and I do understand why people were upset,’ Kim adds. 

Khloe then appears to encourage Kim to pull through it, telling: ‘You got this. We’re built for this.’

The reality star was blasted as ‘tone deaf’ and out of touch following the publication of the interview – which was also shared as a video – prompting her to address the controversy in a recent sit-down with Good Morning America, in which she insisted that her comments were ‘taken out of context’ by Variety.

However, the Variety writer who asked Kim to share her ‘advice for women in business’ then furiously fired back at the reality star’s claims that her comments were ‘taken out of context’ by the publication.

Kim claimed to GMA’s Robin Roberts at the time that the question about her advice for women came after the interviewer – Variety’s Chief Correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister – suggested that she was just ‘famous for being famous’, which she said made her entire ‘tone and attitude change’.

However Wagmeister has hit back at Kardashian on Twitter, insisting that the billionaire businesswoman was asked a ‘very direct question’ and that the ‘question about [her] being famous for being famous’ was actually posed after she offered up her advice to women in business.

‘It’s not what she claims,’ Wagmeister tweeted. ‘I just reviewed the raw footage. The question was very direct: “What would be your advice for women in business?” The question about being famous for being famous came after that question, actually.’

Meanwhile, The Kardashians clip also shared more drama from the famous family, including new mom Kylie opening up to her model sister Kendall Jenner as she admits to having cried for weeks after the birth of her son, who she shares with rapper Travis Scott. 

‘I should be really happy right now, I just had this new baby,’ Kylie says, before adding: ‘But I cried non-stop for like three weeks. 

Kylie gave birth to her second child on February 2nd this year, and originally revealed that his name was going to be Wolf, but later announced they had a change of heart.

She first opened up about her struggle in June this year, writing on Instagram: ‘I just want to say to my postpartum moms that postpartum has not been easy. It’s not been easy, it’s very hard. This experience for me, personally, has been a little harder than with my daughter.’
