Kim’s video surfaced
The video is from 2012, when Kim was seen discussing Indian food with her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner in an episode of her show ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’.
“Have you ever had Indian food?” Kim asked her sisters, to which Kendall replied, “It’s disgusting!” Kim added, “It’s disgusting, isn’t it?”
After the episode aired, the Kardashian family faced strong criticism for their comments, with some social media users calling the family out for being racist. “Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner called Indian food ‘so disgusting’. Seriously? You don’t have to like it, but don’t be rude,” one user wrote at the time.
However, Kim later apologized and clarified that she did not intend to hurt anyone.
“In no way was my comment intended to insult Indian people or their culture. It’s just my personal preference. There are a lot of foods I don’t like… I hate coriander and chili, and there are definitely some Armenian foods I personally find disgusting, but that doesn’t reflect my opinion of other Armenians or my culture. My comment was not intended to offend anyone. We all have our own opinions and preferences and I was simply expressing my opinion,” she wrote in her blog.
