26 Jan
Summary
- Kardashian confessed to scamming paparazzi for early fame.
- She used a stranger's car to pose as if visiting Britney Spears.
- The stunt landed her on magazine covers, boosting her profile.
Kim Kardashian admitted to strategically manipulating paparazzi in her early career, between 2006 and 2009, to achieve fame. She confessed on her sister Khloé's podcast that fame was her sole ambition during the initial seasons of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'
Kardashian recounted a specific incident where she and her friend Jonathan Cheban learned Britney Spears' hotel location. They accepted a ride in a Rolls-Royce Phantom from a stranger, arriving at the hotel to fool photographers. Inside, they hid briefly before emerging to be photographed, pretending to have encountered Spears.
This elaborate ruse, which involved faking an arrival and departure with a private driver, resulted in Kardashian appearing on multiple magazine covers. She recalled believing the stunt was highly successful. Kardashian is currently pursuing acting roles, with a role in Eva Longoria's upcoming comedy 'The Fifth Wheel' and a return in the next season of 'The Kardashians.'
