Kim recently did an interview and photo shoot with Radar Magazine. Kim talks about her late father, KUWTK, her image, her past and her behind! Read the Q&A below and after the jump:
RADAR: Why do you think people like your family so much?
Kim:We’re a real family! People are attracted to the glitz and the glamour, but they also like that we fight like normal families and make up like normal families. I think everyone goes through the kind of drama my family’s not afraid to show.
A normal family? Your biological father, Robert Kardashian, was O.J. Simpson’s lawyer!
My dad and O.J. were best friends since college. My mom was buddies with Nicole, and we all went on a family vacation with her a week before she was murdered. So the relationship was really way more intimate than people think. To me they were Uncle O.J. and Nicole. When we kids were at my dad’s house we were pro-O.J., and at my mom’s house we were anti-O.J. So it was definitely a lot harder than just my dad being his attorney.
Do you think O.J. was guilty?
This has caused a lot of turmoil for my family, so some things are best left unsaid. I remember going to the trial with [my older sister] Kourtney, and we would sit near my dad and look over and see my mom and Bruce sitting next to the Brown family.
At the time we felt like we had to take sides, and we chose my dad’s. Mostly because my mom was newly married to Bruce.
Was that the most difficult time for you as the child of divorced parents?
Yeah, definitely. The divorce happened when I was 10, and my mom met Bruce right away and six months later she was remarried. My mom had three girls and a boy and Bruce had three boys and a girl. After the trial we had to mend the family. And we did. My dad and Bruce became really close friends. Father’s Day would be all of us together, and then the guys would go golfing.
Is it weird to you that complete strangers are so interested in your ass?
I love my butt, but enough already. At first I thought it was funny and flattering, but it’s tiresome now. I’ve seen magazines where plastic surgeons are saying, “If you want a butt like this it has to be fake,” and I’m just like, “Dude, have you ever seen an Armenian girl before?” I love that I’m curvy, but I’m on this major kick to try and lose weight, especially in my butt. I’m just so over it! When you’re posing on the red carpet and the paparazzi shout, “Turn around! Turn around!”–it gets a little offensive.
It’s not just the paps. Your childhood friend Paris Hilton said that your butt “reminds [her] of cottage cheese inside a big trash bag.”
That’s so nasty! Wasn’t that nasty? She called and apologized, and I accepted her apology. She said she was joking. I kind of laugh it off, like, “You know, I’ve never denied having cellulite.” Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. If she thinks my butt looks like that, I don’t really care. At least I have a butt.
Having a certain tape leaked would make most people more private. Instead you signed on for a reality show. What were you thinking?
You either put yourself out there or you sit at home being depressed. Everything in life, good or bad, you have to learn from and move on. Everyone makes mistakes when they’re young. I should be no different than everybody else.
When you meet people now, do you find they have a preconceived notion of you that’s, well … unflattering? Like, that you’re going to be slutty or spoiled?
Especially before the show, I was really frustrated about the image that was out there, but the show has totally helped that. Before, people assumed all I did was shop all day and party all night and that I was always wasted and I didn’t work. But I don’t even drink alcohol! And I’ve
been running a clothing store for going on five years now. So the show’s done a good job of showing us getting up every day, going to our store, working.
Why don’t you drink?
I’ve always hated the taste. If there was a drink that I liked I would probably drink all the time. But it’s disgusting to me. I’m a lot more boring than people think. I have a boyfriend [New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush], and date nights are bowling and cooking. Like, last night I made tacos. I already did all my craziness, so there’s really none left.
