Kim Kardashian opens up about the struggles she’s facing raising four children, admitting she even goes so far to lock herself in a bathroom to escape the chaos.
The new episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians – entitled This Is Going to be Really Hot Tea – followed Kim as she was en route to jury duty, when she called a mystery friend and vented about her kids.
The reality star – who was recently bashed for buying Janet Jackson’s iconic ‘If’ outfit – admits that she’s a ‘pushover’ and wishes she could be ‘strict’ like her sister Khloe Kardashian, while revealing details about her chaotic home life.
The episode transitions to Kim, who is, ‘still in jury duty,’ as Kim says in the car, ‘I’m tired already, but like, I’ve gotta get out of this. Tomorrow is my birthday.’
‘I still haven’t been excused, and honestly, I have no idea why they would want to keep me, just knowing about how public I’ve been about my empathy towards the defendant’s situation,’ Kim says in confession.
Kim is in the car making a phone call to someone, asking, ‘Hey can I vent for one sec? It’s been an extra troubling week where I was just like I can’t do it anymore.
‘I just… anything in that home is just chaotic right now. Oh my God, no, what I wanted to say was I had a Zoom at the house with all my kids there, banging on the door, just screaming, and I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked as I was just like, I can’t believe this. I mean I can believe it, but that’s like my biggest nightmare,’ she says to this mystery person.
She adds in confession, ‘Sometimes it gets just like a little intense. I want to be more strict like Khloe but I don’t know why I have a hard time just saying no is no. I think I also just don’t want to deal with the whining and the tears of not getting their way.’
She tells the mystery caller that she’s, ‘open to anything at this point, because I just can’t live like this, like I’ve ran out of my patience and that what my like superpower was, calm and patience.’
Kim adds in confession, ‘They know when to con me and when to throw the little, you know, start with the tears so I’m like, “Stop, stop, sure, take an iPad,” you know, just stop.’
‘I just have to be like, “I don’t care if you’re gonna throw a tantrum in front of everyone right now. The answer is no,”’ Kim added in confession.
The reality star – whose ex-husband Kanye West is currently traveling in Europe with his new wife Bianca Censori – then tells the mystery caller that she’s struggling without any ‘support’.
‘I don’t have that support and that really sucks and I know I really have to like get it together,’ she explains.
She continues in confession, ‘You know, I’ll always be there for my kids and I’ll ride out anything with them, but to say that it doesn’t take an emotional toll sometimes, would be lying.’
‘This is so hard for me this week in that area,’ Kim tells the caller, while adding in confession, ‘Managing four kids and a household where they’re like not getting and they all want different things and I’m only one person.
‘This always shuts them up. I always say, “OK guys, do you want me to just cut myself in halves or in fours and a part will go with you and a part will go with you.” And they like look at me like, “No don’t ever do that!” And I’m like, “Well OK that’s the only option if you all want me at the same exact time.”
‘We’ve got to chill. I’ll put everyone to bed at a different time. We have to space this out.’
She adds on the phone, ‘I took her phone [and] after a day I gave it to her, I’m such a pushover, but I took it for 24 hours.’
Kim arrives at her destination and she ends the call with the mystery person.
The episode begins with Khloe Kardashian arriving at her mother Kris’ house to talk about Kim’s birthday that’s coming up.
‘It’s birthday season. I came here to talk about Kim’s birthday. I don’t love being the birthday planner, but I’m a control freak because I know it will get done in a way Kim wants it done.’
