Earlier today, footage that seemed to show Kim Kardashian forgetting her daughter in a Paris hotel surfaced online.
Kim Kardashian Leaves North West in Hotel!
In the clip we see Kim leave the building looking stylish in what appears to be a moth-eaten sweatsuit.
She walks up to the van that's waiting for her outside, and a brief OMFG look flashes across her face before she heads back inside and emerges with Nori, who's dressed in her finest biker gang attire.
Naturally, Kim was less than thrilled with being called a negligent mother by the entire Internet, so she took to Twitter to clear her name:
"Heard on the radio today some story I forgot my daughter at our hotel as I'm leaving for the airport," Kim tweeted. "Are you kidding me?!?!?! LOL. I went to the car to make sure the car seat was in because the day before we had a car seat issue."
"Do u guys really think a 1 year old would be inside the lobby by herself? Oh wait she was waiting to check out lol."
Kim was tackled by a comedian just days earlier and it's gotta be rough to have your every move as a parent scrutinized by the media, but even so, we're calling shenanigans on the car seat excuse. Here's why:
First of all, Kim stands in front of the open car door and looks around for several seconds. It certainly takes her a while to determine whether or not the car seat is there, and doesn't that seem like something she would send someone else to do for her, anyway?
Second, Kim takes off her coat, as though she's getting ready to get into the car. Not the sort of thing you do if you're planning to immediately walk back inside.
Various comment board detectives have claimed that the bodyguard in the video can be heard saying, "She isn't here." We can't substantiate that, but it certainly does look like a moment of genuine panic and confusion has been caught on video.
Obviously, no harm was done. The situation was quickly sorted out and the kid was probably in the care of a nanny or someone else on Kim's staff. All we're saying is - the car seat story sounds like BS.
Kim passed up a golden opportunity to earn the respect of millions of moms by just saying, "Look, I messed up. Raising a kid is tough."
Unfortunately, she's so used to the scripted, E! network version of her life that lying to maintain the facade is probably her first instinct.
It's Kim Kardashian and daughter Nori! The former posted this photo online with a simple caption: Good morning.
