A parental misunderstanding turned into a new fight between sisters on this week’s episode of The Kardashians. kim kardashian decided to “clear the air” with her younger sister, Khloe Kardashianbefore the family trip to Aspen, Colorado, telling Khloé that she was unhappy about a recent incident involving her 6-year-old daughter, Chicago West.
Kim explained that what bothered her most was Khloé’s “presentation” on certain topics.
“I don’t know if condescending is the word, but you are very disgraceful,” Kim told Khloé.
In a confessional interview, Kim explained that she had asked the momager Kris Jenner one day to wash her kids’ hair before school, noticing that as she walked out the door, Chicago grabbed a bunch of hair gel and put it on. She later received a call from Khloé, who lives next door to Kris, asking Kim if she could do Chicago’s hair. Kim noted that it had been a “very difficult” week for her with four children, whom she shares with her ex, Kanye West, and that Khloé’s comments were hurtful.
“You were calling not to ask me if you could get her hair done, but to let me know that her hair was unwashed and disgusting,” Kim accused Khloé.
Khloé, who shares 6-year-old True Thompson and 1-year-old Tatum Thompson with her ex, Tristan Thompsondenied his sister’s claim, saying she simply wasn’t trying to step on any toes.
“All I said was, ‘Do you mind if I do Chicago hair?’ Because I know you are very demanding,” Khloé insisted.
Kim replied: ‘I know her hair looks like shit, thank you for reminding me that I didn’t have time to comb her f***ing hair one night before bed and wash it.’
In her confessional interview, Khloé seemed confused by her sister’s outburst, saying, “I actually thought we were okay. I did Chi’s hair and took the kids to school. I had no idea she was holding it in.”
Khloé accused Kim of “projecting” her own parental insecurities onto her. And when Kim claimed that Khloé was horrified by Chicago’s hair and thus accused Kim of being an absentee father, Khloé responded, “That’s your own insecurity! I never said anything about that.”
“It’s just the tone,” Kim said.
When Kim started talking about Khloé’s reluctance to leave her home and her kids to go out and live her life, Khloé had had enough.
“Talk about mom shaming, what the hell are you doing to me? It’s just reverse mom shaming,” Khloé said in her confessional interview. “You’re shaming me for being a helicopter mom or whatever you want to call me and you’re claiming that I’m shaming you for not being a stricter parent, or whatever you’re claiming at this point – that you’re not brushing your hair. Chi, what obviously you brush your hair from Chicago. It has a lot of gel.
Khloé went on to express her frustration over her sister criticizing her own approach to parenting.
“Why are we constantly criticizing what I do in my personal home if I’m not asking you to live the same life?” the mother of two asked. “Can’t we all be the mothers we want to be?”
The tension between the sisters continued on the trip to Aspen and, according to the soon-to-be-released trailer, will also be featured in next week’s episode.
In addition to Chicago, Kim is also mom to North West, 10, Saint West, 8, and Psalm West, 5. She has struggled as a working mom on the last few seasons of the family’s Hulu series, noting the challenges of balancing all her responsibilities. .
New episodes of The Kardashians stream Thursday on Hulu.
