Kim celebrated her friendship group while she celebrated her 43rd birthday, which was documented on her Hulu show.
In a confessional, she divulged that she feels very grateful to be surrounded by them.
“This week in particular has been complete chaos, but honestly, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my friends,” she said.
“Like I have the best friends and they’re super supportive. I think that’s probably why I’ve never seen a therapist, is because I have the best friends in the entire world and they mean everything to me.”

“This is such a weird and damaging take,” noted a fourth.

The two women discussed their acting roles.
Kim is set to appear in an untitled legal drama from American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy (Chloë was in Season 2 of the anthology series).
During the sit-down, Kim instead brought up watching the film Troop Beverly Hills with her mother Kris Jenner for the first time.
“Yesterday I was absolutely blown away, stopped in my tracks, couldn’t believe it, emergency family meeting at the movies – my mom had never seen Troop Beverly Hills,” Kim said.
