Kim Kardashian called 'airhead' after 'word salad' interview about running beauty and fashion businesses goes viral
BERLIN, GERMANY: Kim Kardashian, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of SKKY Partners, discussed her journey to becoming a reality television star, her hands-on approach to operating her beauty and fashion businesses, and her current endeavor, SKKY Partners at a conference in June.
However, a clip from the interview has gone viral, leaving viewers perplexed by the 'The Kardashians' star's "word salad."
Kim, the actress, model, reality television personality, and investor has formed her own private equity firm, Skky Partners. She discussed her motivation for attempting to assist creators with David Rubenstein at the SuperReturn conference in Berlin.
Kim was questioned during the interview about how she manages her two businesses while still being a mother of four children. Her response, however, has left many Redditors perplexed.
One Redditor shared this section of the interview with the title, 'Kim Sounds Like Such An Airhead Talking About Business.'
They further elaborated on their point in the caption, writing, "What does you being a founder of a business have to do with you finding time to manage two businesses while being a single mother of four? She graduated the school of deflection at KJU (Kris Jenner university)."
One person commented on the post, saying, "Now that’s what you call word salad…"
Another person added, "Legit didn’t understand a word she was saying she was cleverly just playing with words but the real thing she should have said was ‘coz I have million nannies so I have time on my hands and I want to make money and don’t really care about anything else’."
One also wrote, "She pretty much answered the question after all the defection by saying, "I was willing to cut back on other things.." other things being her children. Narcissists really master the skill of deflection."
One user gave her some advice, writing, "Considering all of her money & “business expertise”, she should engage a public speaking coach. She is pitching her VC business and sounds like she is just winging it. Come on Kim, get up off your ass and prepare."
The same person further added, "One point of fairness to her is that men are never asked how can they have all of these business ventures and 4 kids. Then again, Kris may have asked them to say that to show that Kim can do it all."
The SKNN founder was also called out for the name of her business as a Redditor wrote, "She says she didn’t have help coming up with them name for SKKN but conveniently told the world it was Kanye’s idea after being called out for stealing the name of a small black owned business…. And don’t get me started on that nonsense word salad."
While another user noted, "She and Kris are the same. Kris talks in circles but doesn’t actually give direct answers when she’s interviewed. It’s the same thing; throwing spaghetti at the wall, I worked really hard…but never really giving specific and detailed answers."
