A scene from The Kardashians shows Kim's hysterical reaction to her son Saint West discovering an ad for her sex tape while playing a game on his tablet. Kim's 2002 sex tape with musician Ray J surfaced online in February 2007, the same year Keeping Up With The Kardashians began, causing a media frenzy around Kim's life.
The Kardashian family is never short of a scandal, and this one is possibly the biggest. Saint, her 6-year-old son, is involved this time.
It's clear that it traumatized her. And no one had any idea how to cope with it. Keeping Up With the Kardashians ended last year after fourteen years of intrigue, scandals, and outright catastrophe.
The notion in 2007 was simple: cameras would chronicle the gorgeous, though somewhat unorthodox, lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family around the clock. And, throughout the years, it has elevated the famed Kardashian-Jenner clan to unparalleled levels of prominence.
It has earned the Kardashian-Jenners a devoted following. People are tuned in to each new season.
Many people became addicted to the show. But, seemingly out of nowhere, it was announced that the beloved show would be canceled after the 2021 season.
The heartbreaking news was shared on Instagram.
"To our great fans - It is with heavy hearts that we've taken the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians," the beauty mogul wrote with a vintage KUWTK poster.
"After 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes, and countless spin-off shows, we are beyond thankful to all of you who have watched us through the good times, hard times, happiness, tears, and many relationships and children."
They then acknowledged the thousands of people and businesses who had contributed to their fantastic experience. And concluded, "I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for Keeping Up With The Kardashians." I am eternally grateful to everyone who has followed and supported me and my family over the last 14 years. This show made us who we are, and I will be eternally grateful to everyone who helped shape our careers and change our lives forever."
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians series, however, has made a comeback on DisneyPlus. And, while nothing can ever top the show's early 2000s... We're overjoyed to see it back on our televisions.
So, of course, we had to compile a list of the top KUWTK moments. What could be better than sitting through KUWTK's top moments? Do you remember this moment?
Kim went back into the room after overhearing Khloé and Kourtney discussing about her, and launched an attack on her sisters, stating between each strike, "Don't be so f****** disrespectful." Iconic.
When Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, shut her down spectacularly and cruelly. As the sisters attempt to gang up on their mother during dinner, Kris responds with a stinging remark at Kim's failed previous marriage: "I've seen you guys go through so much s*** that I have to f***** put up with." 'I've been married for seventy-two days...' Really? That was typical."
And how about one of Kourtney's best moments? Kourtney had said, somewhat distastefully, when trying to spell out her priorities: "I think it's like, everyone understanding that we all have different priorities and, like, working is just not my top priority, it's never going to be." That isn't how the world works, Kourts.
What about the "she was definitely on bath salts" moment? Kim and Khloé pulled over in their car to ask a woman they thought was "on bath salts" where the nearest coffee shop was... It turns out she was merely deaf. Awkward. And remember when the Kardashians were on their way to get Khloé out of jail?
Kris can be seen telling Kim on their drive to get Khloé out of jail in one of the most memorable sequences to ever grace our screens: "Kim, will you stop snapping pictures of yourself? Your sister is going to prison." Kim had her aide hold her phone for her at the time.
Kim's helper held her iPhone for her as she shot a selfie video, which was a first for all of us. Like the rest of us, Kris was absolutely blown away… And, of course, viewed it as a commercial opportunity.
And Kim's famous sobbing expression. Kim, thanks for the memes. Kourtney finds it as amusing as we do. "She has this awful crying expression that she makes," we will remember for the rest of our lives. And, while some thought the show had lasted long enough, the majority disagreed... Who wouldn't want to witness the Kardashians' amusing disputes with each other?
Will their clashes ever become boring? During an altercation, Kim criticizes Kourtney's "lack of a business," saying, "Maybe if you had a f****** business that you were passionate about, you would know what it takes to operate a f****** business, but you don't... So don't even pretend to understand what I'm saying." Kourtney was a true beast. "That's very embarrassing for your life... And your spirit," she remarked.
Kylie was overjoyed when Momager Kris brought home a pet piglet, and she yelled down the stairs, "Is that a chicken?!” We're not sure how you got that one wrong, Kylie...
"ABCDEFG I have to go," we thought as we watched Kris applaud for her half-naked daughter. As her daughter stood seductively in nothing but pearl necklaces and stilettos, Kris could be seen taking shots of her and encouragingly remarking, "Kim, you're doing wonderful honey."
Returning to Kourtney's phrase...
Kourtney’s ex, Scott Disick, was left bewildered when she casually whispered to him: “ABCDEFG… "I have to leave." This is a very common phrase, according to Kourtney... Okay, okay? Kim's less-than-ideal situation.
I'm sure she'll be ashamed to watch this video again... Kourtney was a natural b*tch. Some folks simply despise poor interior design decisions, okay?
What about the Kim K moment where she reveals to us all that she is afraid of heights? Kim exhibits an unexpected fear of heights, and as she tries to climb back down, she sobs, "I made it in life, I don't need to do this!"
And we saved the finest for last...
Okay, whether you're a KUWTK fan or not... This was witnessed by everyone. Kim was swimming in the ocean while on a family vacation in Bora Bora when she burst into tears after learning one of her $75,000 diamond earrings had come off.
It's a classic Kardashian tantrum, and to make matters worse, as the family searched for the lost jewel, Kourtney called from her bungalow: "Kim, there are people who are dying."
They're back on DisneyPlus now, and there's already a classic Kim K sobbing moment... But this time, we can't help but feel terrible for her, especially since it appears as Kim has matured over the last few years.
It also comes at a time when many people believe she handled Kanye West's social media abuse with poise and respect.
"Y'all love to shit on @KimKardashian every chance you get, yet she has handled this situation with Kanye with absolute grace and dignity and never once put him down," one Twitter user said. "Like, please chill on Kim."
"I mean, just a Kim Kardashian praise tweet here—the way she manages herself, in general, is great, but this Kanye scenario has exposed exactly how high her emotional I Q is," another said. This is why, when we witnessed Kim Kardashian cry after her six-year-old kid discovered an advertisement for a leaked video she made in the past... It was not a hilarious moment at all.
While they were at a family barbecue, her son, Saint, showed Kim something on his iPad that shocked her. She turns to Khloé to show her what's been mentioned, and Saint says it's all a game. But, unsurprisingly, Kim isn't happy about it... According to the Daily Mail, she plans to "sue" them.
"There was a photo of my weep face, and then I looked at it, and it stated something very inappropriate, 'Kim's new s*x tape,'" she confessed. "This is claimed to be previously unseen material from my old s*x tape." The last thing I want as a mother is for my history to be brought up 20 years later, especially while my entire family is present. This is some truly humiliating s***, and I must and will deal with it. "I can't believe this is happening right now," she added.
"I would have been humiliated if my son had been a little older and able to read," she said, "but I died inside."
And Khloé laughed that the tape had already been discussed in a previous season, saying, "I feel like we're back to day one." It's a lucky omen." At this time, Kim phones her ex-husband, Kanye West. "But it's not OK, it's not. On the game Roblox. "Saint was on Roblox yesterday when a f***ing thing popped up and he started laughing, and it was a picture of my weep face," she said to Kanye.
"It was a Roblox game that someone made, and when you clicked on it, it stated Kim's New S*x Tape." Thank goodness he can't read yet. And it's like this s**t is going to happen to me again over my dead corpse. I simply want it to go away. This is not going to work for me. It isn't, so I just want it gone," she explained over the phone.
Kanye told Kim that "nothing" could cancel her and also calmed her down.
Kim's reputation has been haunted by the video, which was made in 2002 and leaked in 2007, but regardless of how many times it has been brought up, she has flung it away and continued to establish a different identity for herself. She's shown the rest of the world that the tape doesn't define her. And it's for this reason that we're all pulling for her.
What are your thoughts on it?
