Kim Kardashian’s – Inappropriate Comments About Therapy
Kim Kardashian upset fans when she shared her thoughts about therapy. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, she explained why she doesn’t have a therapist.
Kim had her friends with her for her 43rd birthday. In her confessional, she explained that she was happy to have her friends with her for the special occasion.
“This week in particular has been complete chaos, but honestly, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my friends,” Kim said. “Like, I have the best friends and they’re supportive. I think that’s probably why I’ve never seen a therapist, is because I have the best friends in the entire world and they mean everything to me.”
The SKIMS founder explained her unconventional approach to therapy. She relies on them for her therapeutic needs. Kim invited her friends out for her birthday because she wanted to celebrate them. She introduced her friends in the scene to show them dressed up for her birthday.
“My friend circle, I always say, I hit the jackpot in the friends department,” Kim. “Spending my 43rd birthday with all the girls that inspire me and motivate me is just really special.”
