Heraldo de Madrid - Kris Jenner Furious Over 'Childhood Trauma' Claim in Kim Kardashian Biography

Kris Jenner expressed intense anger and felt "insulted" after reading a specific line in Kim Kardashian’s authorized biography, prompting a confrontation on the latest episode of "The Kardashians."

The dispute centers on Jonathan Van Meter’s book, "Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future," published on Oct. 27. In the text, Van Meter speculated that while Kardashian does not believe she has "childhood trauma," she simply "doesn’t see it."

During the Thursday episode, Jenner, 71, reacted strongly to the passage, accusing Van Meter of fabricating dramatic elements to increase sales. She demanded that Kim clarify her stance on the matter directly.

"Tell him you don’t want it to say anything about your childhood trauma because you didn’t have any," Jenner told her daughter. "I worked really hard at my life and being a mom so nobody had any childhood trauma."

Jenner continued, stating she was offended by the suggestion. "You should tell him to take the trauma part out. I’m insulted," she said. "You can tell him, for me, that he can f–k off. … That is very offensive to me."

Kim Kardashian responded by promising to make her position clear to Van Meter. Jenner doubled down on her frustration, emphasizing that her legacy is defined by her children and that she would not allow anyone to distort her version of their history.

"My legacy is my children, so I don’t want anybody interrupting what my truth is," Jenner explained. "And my truth is: I worked really hard raising you guys, and there was no trauma. The biggest trauma that we had was the day that Toys ‘R Us closed."

The matriarch also criticized Kim for pursuing the biography project at all, calling her "insane" for granting a stranger access to their private lives. "You’re giving him access to your entire life, and to our lives," Jenner said. "That, you know, is ridiculous. … Why give someone that access?"

Kim defended the decision to work with Van Meter, citing the prevalence of misinformation surrounding her family. She stated she stood behind the project because it offered a chance to present a factual account written by someone she described as "smart and so genuine."

Other sisters weighed in on the conflict. Khloé Kardashian questioned why Van Meter could not simply accept Kim’s word at face value. In a confessional, Kourtney Kardashian said she would also be angry if someone tried to impose a narrative of deep trauma on their upbringing.

Van Meter previously addressed Jenner’s reaction in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last month. He described the matriarch as "flip[ping] out on camera" and recounted her asking why Kim had dragged the family into the book and included details about his affair from 30 years ago.

However, Van Meter noted that the tension was temporary. "Two days later, Kris was fine," he said, confirming that while Jenner’s rage would be featured on the show, the immediate conflict had resolved.
