What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and Kourtney Kardashian revealed that she
can finally be “free” after cutting back her time on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
In the latest edition of Vogue Arabia, Kourtney opened up about why she needed to take a step
back from filming, which fans of Keeping Up know has been a big source of contention between
Kourtney and her sisters.
Like seriously you guys, things really escalated this past season...
Yeah, I don’t think any of us could forget that fight or that makeup mark on the wall!
And in the most recent season, Kourtney revealed that she’s decided to limit her time on
the show in upcoming seasons and take a step back from her full time role.
“For now I’m just going to take control of my schedule back.
I just want to feel fulfilled and happy life is too short.”
And now, Kourtney opened up to Vogue Arabia about her reasons for stepping back and her
plans to channel her energy into other things and projects like Poosh and her kids.
It’s clear Kourtney is excited about this new path as she included her own handwritten
note on this Vogue cover, writing “The power of reclaiming yourself.
Kourtney Kardashian sets free.”
“I am on the cover of Vogue Arabia.
I am so excited to be writing my own cover lines.
This issue is all about following your own rules and instincts.”
In the interview Kourtney said quote, “I have been filming the show non-stop for 14
years…
I was feeling unfulfilled and it became a toxic environment for me to continue to have
it occupy as much of my life as it was.
Privacy is something I have come to value and finding that balance of private moments
with being on a reality show is hard.
People have this misconception that I don’t want to work, which isn’t true.
I am following my happiness and putting my energy into that which makes me happy.”
And despite taking a back seat on the show going forward, Kourtney emphasized how grateful
she is for both memories and opportunities that came with the show.
But she admitted that focusing on her family and adjusting her work/life balance is now
her priority.
Kourt said quote, “I always try my absolute best when I’m with my kids not to be on
my phone, to be present in what we’re doing, and have those moments where you’re looking
in each other’s eyes and connecting.
It’s so important.
I usually take one day on the weekend when we have no plans, we hang out at the house
in pajamas or sweats.
We sleep in.
I like to not be on a schedule on that day.”
She also said that she feels less of a need to be on her phone and isn’t as social media
obsessed anymore like the younger generation is.
And Kourtney also said that she practices self-care by doing "a double session" of therapy
every week.
She said quote, "For years I didn't have that, where I could say no and set boundaries.”
But Kourtney isn’t going to be off the show altogether.
Last season she said quote, “I have decided to take a big step back from filming and really
just pick and choose what I will allow cameras to follow.
I think just now when I have something that I find is interesting to film, or that I would
feel excited to film, that I do that.”
And fans have been taking to Twitter to share their thoughts on Kourtney’s latest interview.
One supporter wrote quote, “That woman had 3 children on that show and showed every detail
of her relationship that was “appropriate” I’m proud of her for leaving.”
Another fan said quote, “Good for her”
And this person wrote quote, “Kourtneyyyyy will be missed.”
But others called Kourtney out like this person who wrote quote, “Toxic but she still remained
and earned a shit load of money.
Say thank you and just leave, no need to speak bad about a show that fed you and your family.”
This person agreed writing quote, “Oh please!
Rich people problems.
She wouldn’t be living in that huge house if it wasn’t for the show.”
And this Twitter user added quote, “it’s toxic for everyone.
But a Kardashian leaving because it’s toxic is hilarious.
They’ve made bazillions off this toxic crap.”
But aside from her involvement in the show, Kourtney also talked about other issues that
are important to her in her Vogue interview.
She discussed regulatory reform in the cosmetics industry, admitting that she doesn't believe
it's being "taken that seriously.”
Kourt said quote, "There are a lot of people who are still not aware of the harm that could
be in our products — the harmful chemicals and things that we don't think about.
In America, I want to get the laws changed because I don't think it should be up to us
to have to try to find products that are clean.
I think there should be standards and that so many toxic ingredients shouldn't be allowed
in our products.”
And Kourtney hopes to continue to have these conversations on her site Poosh.
She said she wants it "to be a conversation and not be or feel judgmental because we're
learning, too," saying the site is simply "about living" and "doing your best."
And from the Vogue interview, it seems like Kourtney is living and doing her best now
that she’s taken a step back from Keep Up With The Kardashians.
It’ll be interesting to see what the future episodes are like and how much Kourtney is
on the show.
We will keep you guys posted when the show is set to come back in September.
