Kim Kardashian says her family ‘scammed the system’ to reach stardom: ‘We aren’t supposed to be here’

The Kardashian/Jenner clan have earned their stripes as one of the most famous families in Hollywood, but according to Kim Kardashian, their success was a total fluke.

On the season 4 finale of “The Kardashians,” the Skims founder, 43, looked back on her family’s rise to global stardom, quipping that they “scammed the system” to get there.

The famous family gathered together on Scott Disick’s 40th birthday to celebrate the big day, with Kris Jenner noting that she’s known Disick for “most of [his] adult life.”

“You were literally here episode one, season 1,” the “momager,” 68, told Scott, referring to their original reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”

“I was like, ‘This show’s going nowhere,’” Disick joked in response.

Later, Kim also noted how she’s known Disick for over 19 years, and thanked him for “supporting me through thick and thin” and “through every phase.”

“[Remember] when you were on the cover of Dog Fancy?” Scott joked, to which Kim’s family quickly clarified it was K9 Magazine.

“Anything for a cover!” Kim quipped. “Guys, we scammed the system. We did it! Whatever it is, we figured it out and did it! We put in some hard work.”

In a confessional interview later, Kim said, “Scott’s my motivator. He’ll always say, ‘God, can you believe you did it?’ And I’m like, ‘I can’t, this is crazy.’ … We aren’t supposed to be here, like how did we get in this cool party? We weren’t the cool kids, how did we do it?”

Despite that, Kim previously opened up about her rise to stardom, admitting that being famous was something she always wanted to achieve.

“Money was always the goal but I was obsessed with fame, like, embarrassingly obsessed,” she told Vogue Arabia in September 2019. “I do agree that fame can be addictive. But now, my focus has shifted.”

Kim later thanked Disick for “supporting me through thick and thin” and “through every phase.”HuluWhat do you think? Post a comment.

“Even in my darkest of times, I don’t regret putting myself out there for the world to see. People have shared with me over the years how much it has helped them to feel less alone when dealing with their own adversity.”

“I love having a voice and I appreciate the platform that I have been given, even though I do wish I could have more privacy at times,” the mom of four added.
