But speaking candidly on the podcast, Kim, 45, and Khloe, 41, said that explanation was simply not true.
“Meghan. Markle,” Khloe began, before Kim responded with a sigh: “Ugh. The photogate.”
“It was really innocent, which is so crazy,” Kim said.
“Mom and Meghan have been friends for some years now. And they have a really sweet relationship.
“We took a photo. And then I think we were all going through them. We’re all communicating about what we’re going to post — we’re never ones to post without permission… Like it’s not who we are.”
Khloe agreed, adding: “We’re very respectful.”
Why the Photos Were Really Taken Down
Kim explained that photos were taken throughout the night, but only lighthearted, tasteful images were selected for posting.
“We were posting just, like, fun photos,” she said, which Khloe clarified were “dignified photos.”
“And so we were totally, you know — we were told that it was totally cool to post,” Kim added.
According to Kim, the issue only arose after the images had already gone live, when concerns were raised about timing rather than consent.
