Khloe Kardashian is fighting back at Australian television hosts who claimed she pulled the plug on their satellite interview after they asked about niece North West.
The virtual interview began innocuously enough with Australia’s Sunrise anchors asking Khloe about the Kardashian Kollection and whether she dreamt of becoming a fashion designer when she was a kid.
When the anchor Sam Armytage asked how Kim Kardashian’s daughter North is doing, Khloe didn’t appear to be annoyed and answered the question extremely well… But the satellite feed cut out before the anchors were able to ask any more questions. Watch as Khloe answers the question (1:48 mark) and the call drops (1:58 mark).
Later in the show, anchor David Koch announced there didn’t seem to be any technical issues. Instead, he mused Khloe “pulled the plug on the interview here because my partner here brought up the baby.” Sam added Kardashian reps didn’t say the question was off-limits and it tied in with conversation about the new Kardashian Kids Kollection. They also tweeted about the incident.
We thought it was a technical glitch but turns out @KhloEkardashian's people pulled the plug after @Sam_armytage asked about baby North

Producer Michael Pell said a local Kardashian rep apologized. He added…
What happened with @khloekardashian on the show is a good lesson for publicists everywhere. Don't try to censor natural conversation.

Meanwhile, Khloe wasn’t pleased with the accusations.
Why would I cut an interview short because of North? Get over your self Sunrise… The call dropped… stop reaching for a story

She followed up by calling the Australian hosts “f**king desperate.” She seemed to apologize to followers by saying alter ego “KhloMoney” posted the messages… And then resumed normal social media actions by wishing brother Rob Kardashian a happy birthday and posting a video with nephew Mason Disick.
