Kim Kardashian is finally speaking out about the wedding day squabble she had with brother Rob.
During an appearance on Tuesday's
Watch What Happens: Live, the 33-year-old revealed to host Andy Cohen what really happened the day of her
May 24 wedding that led to Rob jetting out of Italy and skipping the
lavish event.
"He sent me a long email the morning of [saying] that he was going to
leave," Kanye West's wife said about her brother, who has been battling
self-esteem issues over a recent 75-pound weight gain. "There was no
fight."
She insisted that her brother not being there on her (third) wedding
day didn't ruffle her feathers, saying, "I just thought, 'You know what,
this is my day. I'm not even going to worry about it.' I totally
understand that he wouldn't want to see a lot of people if he was
feeling uncomfortable and you can only pray and wish that someone would
not miss out on more memories in life, because life is about memories."
Kim also answered a reader question about why she seemed to lack empathy toward her brother over this situation.
"My brother and I are so close, he's one of my best friends," she
insisted, noting that they are currently both living in their mother
Kris Jenner's Calabasas, California, home. However, "I'm definitely a
tough love kind of person. If I don't like something that's going on in
my life, I change it, and I don't sit and complain about it for a year."
If that sounds like a frustrated response, it is. She says she's grown impatient of him not seeking resolutions to his problems.
"I try to encourage him," she said about her 27-year-old sibling.
"And once you don't make that change for so long, and it's not
happening, I get frustrated. My patience runs out."
In a recent episode of
Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the
family discussed Rob's rapid weight gain after he skipped a family trip
to Thailand. Kris revealed he had gained 75 pounds in one year. "It’s
devastating," the matriarch said.
Rob has not yet publicly responded to Kim's comments on
WWHL, but things between them seem okay with the sock designer recently posting a photo of Kim and Kanye's daughter, North West, on
Twitter and writing, " Goodness @KimKardashian she's soooooo pretty!!!! LOVE HERR."
While Rob may be struggling with his self-esteem, his love for his niece clearly knows no limits.
