Whooping Khloé With A Purse On KUWTK

Kicking it off with a lil’ blast from the past, we have Kim giving Khloé Kardashian the business during a retro episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

After a disagreement, Khloé seemingly tried to close a door on Kim, which prompted a reaction involving the latter utilizing her handy-dandy handbag.

Aside from the moment highlighting a sibling spat, it catapulted Kim’s quotable “Don’t be f**king rude” phrase into the stratosphere.

Kim Kardashian Controversially Telling The Gworlz To WORK!

Moving along to a recent controversy-sparking moment, we have Kim’s “get your f**king a*s up and work” comment.

She specifically made the statement during a 2022 meet-up with Variety involving her, Khloé, Kourtney Kardashian, and Kris Jenner — and she did not mince her words!

“I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f**king a*s up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”

After people predictably tore into the businesswoman for allegedly being blasé, Kim eventually sought to clear things up.

“It wasn’t a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don’t respect the work or think they don’t work hard. I know that they do. That was taken out of context, but I’m really sorry if it was received that way.”

Showin’ Off Her Motherhood Journey Over The Years

Of course, the mother of four has allowed viewers to see her parenthood journey throughout the years.

After welcoming her firstborn, North West, in mid-2013, she welcomed Saint West in Dec. 2015. Then, she welcomed Chicago and Psalm West via surrogate in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

From paparazzi run-ins to moments on reality TV and TikTok, Kim Kardashian puts many parts of her everyday motherhood pursuits on display for viewers to see.

Her Marilyn Monroe Moment

Touching on a moment of high glam and controversy, we have Kim Kardashian’s decision to wear Marilyn Monroe’s custom-made gown to the 2022 Met Gala.

As The Shade Room reported, fans were not happy with the decision, as she was accused of returning the dress in sub-par condition.

Kim wanted to serve up a memorable lewk, and it’s definitely burned into memory due to the widespread outrage it sparked.

All-Black Everything!

Speaking of Kim’s Met Gala outfits, her all-black get-up with Kanye West deserves a shoutout as well.

The then-couple donned the lewk at the 2021 Met Gala, and it was equal parts fierce and enigmatic.

Kim Getting Brought Back To Reality By Kourtney

Representing a retro, vacation-focused mishap, we have Kourtney shutting an emotional Kim down after losing her earring.

It all started when Kim’s then-husband, Kris Humphries, playfully threw her into the ocean. The realization that her earring was gone made Kim walk (and swim) away in tears.

As this unfolded, though, Kourtney reminded Kim that there are bigger things to worry about by remarking, “Kim, there’s people that are dying.”

On top of Kourtney’s hilarious quote to a tearful Kim, this incident also kicked off what’s become known as the “Kim Kardashian crying face meme.”

Older Sister Brawls

While on the subject of Kourtney, we, of course, have Kim’s on-camera scraps with her older sister.

Viewers will recall one incident involving Kim calling Kourtney the “least exciting to look at” before making her well-known “Maybe if you had a f**king business that you were passionate about…” comment. Additionally, we can’t forget when Kourtney went in on Kim and slapped her makeup onto a wall. Ouch!

The sisters even got it poppin’ at the beginning of the latest season of The Kardashians, showing that Kim and Kourtney definitely aren’t afraid to butt heads!

Legal-Related Strides

Of course, we’d be remiss to exclude her legal efforts.

As The Shade Room reported, she’s been busy advocating for non-violent offenders and prison reform, and she’s made quite an impact already.

In fact, Kim previously acknowledged that she’d be down to leave reality TV to pursue a full-time law career.

So, while it’s easy to focus on her reality TV and fashion-related moments, her justice-related activities need to be acknowledged as well.
