Kim Kardashian has faced backlash over her parenting after photos of her 12-year-old daughter, North West, went viral due to her changing appearance, including blue hair and what appeared to be piercings.
Speaking on Khloé in Wonderland, Kim said people don’t understand the challenges she faces as a parent in the public eye. While critics accuse her of being more of a “best friend” than a mother, Kim insists North has clear rules — but she allows her to express herself creatively.
Kim explained that North has loved colorful hair and fake piercings since early childhood, and later clarified that the recent piercings were not real. North is also aware of public attention and even addressed it in her music.
Kim added that North is homeschooled and follows a structured curriculum focused on real-world skills, including math, budgeting, and brand building, which Kim actively helps teach.
