Earlier this week fans of the Kardashians finally got the low-down on what happened at that infamous Variety photoshoot

YouTube

For those out of the loop Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian sat down with Variety in March for a now-viral video interview during which Kim offered some controversial business advice

YouTube

I have the best advice for women in business Kim said Get your fucking ass up and work It seems like nobody wants to work these days You have to surround yourself with people that wanna work

YouTube

At the time Kim s comments quickly went viral on social media with many people labeling the advice out of touch and offensive Fans criticized the business mogul for lecturing the general public on success without acknowledging the very significant fact that she was born into a life of immense privilege

Geeta Minocha @geeta_minocha It’s probably true that the Kardashians work hard, and Kim seems to have the most hustle of the bunch. But to ignore the pre-career privilege — a famous, uber-rich father & vast LA network that included Paris Hilton at her peak of fame — is tone deaf at best, offensive at worst. https://t.co/0EFAfoqNxS 10:14 PM - 09 Mar 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @geeta_minocha

Kim ended up addressing the negative discourse during an appearance on Good Morning America where she defended her words and insisted that the quote had been taken out of context Aside from this however fans had no idea how Kim had reacted to all the backlash behind-the-scenes

That is until this week s instalment of Hulu reality series The Kardashians aired on Thursday The episode was filmed while all the Variety drama was going down and fans were eager to finally see the extended cut of Kim s controversial comments

However viewers were left surprised — and frankly disappointed — to see that the Hulu show had cunningly edited out part of Kim s advice

In the episode Kim says I have the best advice for women in business Get your fucking ass up and work However instead of then hearing her now-infamous line Nobody wants to work these days the footage cuts straight to her saying Success is never easy If you put in the work you will see results

YouTube

Well the inconsistency certainly didn t go unnoticed by eagle-eyed fans many of whom quickly took to Reddit to accuse the Kardashians of blatantly changing the narrative with the edit

The whole scene with the Vanity Fair interview was comical said a third The way they edited out her saying no one wants to work anymore Like sis we all know what you said and you can t take it back

They think they re so clever like they can just edit out the icky parts of REAL LIFE Like babes that interview got posted circulated became infamous You had to sit down and apologize for what you said SPECIFICALLY about women not working hard enough Whyyyy do they think they can just wipe our memories MiB style another echoed

And fans were all the more upset with the editing given that later on in the episode Kim wound up insisting that people don t know the real story behind her family s come-up

Yeah we grew up privileged but people don t know the story of your dad and Mom having to sell their house in Hidden Hills because they couldn t afford it and they had to move to an apartment Kim said to Kendall

Mom really started her career and making money at 50 so growing up and seeing her hustle and seeing her get up every day with all these kids six of hers that she had to take care of I saw her work her ass off and figure it out she went on

In a confessional Kim continued to insist that she s had to work extra hard to be taken seriously She said I think people would assume that I got everything handed to me being on a TV show but being on a reality show — let alone a reality show girl with a sex tape — does not open doors

I always felt I had to work extra hard and harder to be taken seriously and for people to forget about my past she added

Meanwhile her sisters Khloé and Kendall wholeheartedly defended Kim and accused the entire internet of gaslighting her Khloé even reduced fans criticism to mere noise while telling Kim that none of it s real

Understandably frustrated by this several fans pointed out that the KarJenners took no accountability and got defensive instead of taking some of the valid criticism on board

Instead of maturely reflecting on it and taking in all the criticism in a way that she can work and grow with it she got defensive doubled down played the victim and now has attempted to change the narrative one person said

Reddit

They did not take any time to understand at all why it pissed people off another agreed Instead choosing to essentially double down with some forced humility yes we were born with a silver spoon but we had to sell our million dollar mansion once Come talk to me when you have to skip a few meals because you have to keep the lights on

Reddit

A third user wrote They took 0 accountability in this episode pretty disappointing but not surprising
