AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian has shared how she felt after facing intense backlash over her tone-deaf job advice. Addressing the controversy in the upcoming season of "The Kardashians", the SKIMS founder admitted that she's "mortified."
In the official trailer for the Hulu show, which was released on Monday, August 29, the 41-year-old socialite and reality star turns to sister Khloe Kardashian for help. "No one sympathizes with you," Khloe tells the makeup mogul as the two sit in a car.
In response, Kim says, "I'm mortified, and I do understand why people were upset." Khloe then encourages the SKKN by Kim founder to apologize. "You got this. We're built for this," Khloe continues.
During the March 9 interview with Variety, Kim said she has "the best advice for women in business," before saying her now-infamous quote. "It seems like nobody wants to work these days," she continued. "You have to surround yourself with people that wanna work. Have a good work environment where everyone loves what they do, because you have one life. No toxic work environments."
The backlash began when fans called her advice "out of touch," given her privilege growing up in Hollywood. Kim then apologized for the message on "Good Morning America" on March 28, but also claimed her comment "became a soundbite really with no context."
"Well, that statement that I said was without questions and conversation around it," Kim told Robin Roberts. "It became a sound bite really with no context. And that sound bite came off the notion and the question right before which was after 20 years of being in the business you're famous for being famous. And I…my whole tone and attitude changed with the previous question that went into that question about what advice would you give to women."
Kim added, "It wasn't a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don't respect the work or think that they don't work hard." She continued, "I know that they do. It was taken out of context, but I'm really sorry if it was received that way."
In addition to Kim's true feelings about her controversial work advice, "The Kardashians" season 2 trailer previews an action-packed season, with Kendall Jenner feeling upset that sister Kylie Jenner canceled on her last-minute, saying she "always seems to get out of things, and I have to take over."
It shows more drama from the famous family, including Kylie opening up to her model sister Kendall about having cried for weeks after the birth of her son, whom she shares with rapper Travis Scott (II). "I should be really happy right now, I just had this new baby," the Kylie Cosmetics founder said, "But I cried non-stop for like three weeks."
All eyes are also on Kris Jenner, as she's seen getting wheeled into a seemingly-serious surgery. "Don't tell my kids I'm scared," the momager says during an interview, wiping away tears.
Season two of "The Kardashians" premieres on September 22 on Hulu.
