Kim Kardashian says she's 'exhausted' and questions the life she lives
"I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f***ing ass up and work."
It was the controversial soundbite heard around the country. And on this week's episode of The Kardashians, viewers got an inside look at how Kim Kardashian initially reacted to the backlash following the clip going viral back in March.
On the phone with her mother Kris Jenner, Kim stated, "I'm, like, mortified. I don't know what to do, because I, obviously, it's all my fault, because, you know."
During her confessional in the episode, Kim reiterated the apology she issued back in March as she stated, "When I made that statement, it wasn't a blanket statement towards all women. Like, as if I didn't think women work hard or respect the work they do because I see it every day," said Kim. "The most important people in my life, that have shaped my life, and shaped my career, and helped me get to where I am today, are all women. So I hated that that got misunderstood and for that I'm so sorry."
While Kris told Kim it wasn't her fault, because "people misunderstood" where she was coming from, Kim was still feeling helpless as she asked her sister Khloé Kardashian, "It never ends. Will it end?"
Khloé told Kim, "No. It won't end until, I don't even want to say, until we end. It will never end, babe. But guess what? We are built for this."
"I don't know if I am anymore," replied Kim.
