Early Life <\/strong><\/h2>

Kim Kardashian is an American television celebrity and entrepreneur who was born in Los Angeles, California, on October 21, 1980. Her personal life, which was largely documented on the hit reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2007\u201321), brought her international recognition.<\/p>

A pirated sex tape depicting Kim and her then-boyfriend, R&B artist Ray J, surfaced online early in 2007. Kim filed a lawsuit against the video’s distributor and eventually won an out-of-court settlement. The Kardashians’ daily life, including Bruce Jenner’s eventual transformation into a woman, were chronicled in the reality TV series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which was made possible by the attention the family received. The show was a ratings hit when it debuted on the E! channel in October 2007. While each member of the family achieved a different degree of popularity, Kim\u2014who was renowned for her attractive appearance and voluptuous figure\u2014became a cultural phenomenon.<\/p>

Kardashian went to the all-girls Roman Catholic Marymount High School in Los Angeles. Her father defended O. J. Simpson, a football player, in his 1994 murder trial. Kardashian’s godfather is Simpson. Cancer claimed Kardashian’s father’s life in 2003. During her adolescent years, Kardashian was good friends with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, who brought her initial notoriety. Her father promised to buy her a new automobile when she totaled hers when she was sixteen, but only if she accepted full responsibility for any future damages. After that, she started working for four years at Body, a neighborhood clothes store in Encino, California, helping to open the Calabasas site. In 2000, following one’s entry into her marriage she resigned.<\/p>

Career<\/strong><\/h2>

Beginnings (2003\u20132006)<\/strong><\/h3>

By 2003, Ray J’s sister Brandy, an R&B singer and actress, hired Kardashian as her personal stylist. Subsequently, Sonja Norwood, the siblings’ mother and manager, claimed that although she had given Kardashian permission to use her American Express credit card for “one and only one” purchase in 2004, Kardashian, along with her sisters Khlo\u00e9 and Kourtney, had charged over $120,000 in unauthorized purchases to the card. Norwood further claimed that the majority of the accusations were related to purchases made in 2006 and 2007 at Kardashian’s family-run shop, following Kardashian’s departure from Norwood’s daughter’s employment. Norwood also claimed that she did not press charges because her kids begged her to, instead bringing her accusations directly to Kardashian, and that Kardashian expressed regret and pledged to pay back the loan. After receiving no money, Norwood filed a lawsuit in 2008. Kardashian refutes each and every one of these claims. According to reports, the parties came to a private settlement in 2009, and the lawsuit was dropped.<\/p>

In 2006, Kardashian started serving as a stylist for her childhood friend Paris Hilton. She was often pictured going to events and parties with Hilton, and she made appearances in a number of episodes of the reality series The Simple Life. Formerly meeting Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner in 2005, Sheeraz Hasan, a PR strategist for Hilton, said in a 2020 20\/20 television special that Kardashian was “ready to do whatever it takes” to build a great brand. In the same interview, freelance photographer Rick Mendozza, working for the tabloid TMZ, said that after Kardashian went with Hilton to Hyde, a popular spot in Hollywood at the time, he kept getting calls from tabloids asking him to take pictures of Kardashian for the the following three years. Kardashian claimed in 2021 that Hilton “quite literally gave me a career.” And I accept that completely.<\/p>
