Kim Kardashian doesn’t always go above and beyond to clear up rumors about herself, but there is one specific incident she really wants to clear up. In 2014, rumors spread that Kim had forgotten North West—then 12 months old—in a Parisian hotel. And she’s still denying the claims over a decade later.
The rumors started after Kim was seen exiting a hotel in Paris after fashion week in October 2014. She reportedly opened a car door, looked inside, and then went back into the hotel lobby, only to re-emerge with baby North.
At the time, she claimed in a series of tweets that she had simply gone to check that North’s car seat was safely set up before bringing her out. She even joked about the incident on Twitter, writing, “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.”
Well, it turns out, that wasn’t the entire story. In an Instagram Story shared last week, Kim shared a video clip of the incident and finally explained why she left North in the hotel. Spoiler alert: It wasn't all about car safety.
“I wanted to show off the look before holding her bc her outfit didn’t match mine,” she admitted, adding, “I didn’t forget her!!!!”
As reported by E! News, on the day in question Kim was wearing a matching pink set with a gray coat (see above), while North was dressed in all black.
It’s perfectly understandable for her to want to avoid an outfit clash with her baby. I mean, who among us has not had this very dilemma? Jokes aside, it’s clear that Kim did not forgot her baby in the lobby of a hotel in Paris.
If anything, this story’s longevity is proof that North has always been a fashion week icon, even when she was just a toddler. Over the years, she’s given us more memorable moments, like the time she held up a handmade “STOP” sign for paparazzi during the 2022 Jean Paul Gaultier show. A scene-stealer at her very best.
