The Latest 'KUWTK' Showed How Kim Kardashian Handled The 'Kimono' Backlash Behind-The-Scenes
Things began with Kim discussing the online backlash with Scott Disick. She told him:"They're saying I'm cultural appropriating."Defending herself, Kim added:"Who would ever think that I would want to do something that would be disrespectful?"
The pair went on to address how much of a hit the business would take if they changed the name, since the"Kimono" logo had already been printed on"hundreds of thousands" of garments.Kim told Scott:"If I could just say, 'Change the name,' and it would be that easy then I would do it in a heartbeat." When Scott asked how many items were currently in production under the name"Kimono," Kim replied:"Hundreds of thousands".
We then saw the moment Kim realised a letter from the mayor of Kyoto was circulating online, and she immediately called her publicist to talk the situation through."I just saw the letter from the Mayor of Kyoto," Kim said."I definitely want to take this really seriously." Her publicist responded:"I do think it's important to think about what he said."
In her testimonial, Kim read a portion of the letter outloud:"Kimono is a traditional ethnic dress and truly symbolises sense of beauty, spirits and value of Japanese.""Reading that letter I felt an understanding," Kim went on."I definitely did not want to disrespect a culture. That's not what the brand is even about. It's about inclusivity, it's about comfort. It's not about making people uncomfortable.
