Kim Kardashian shared how early in her career, she staged a paparazzi encounter to boost her profile, pretending to visit Britney Spears in New York. 👀

“[Being famous] was all I wanted, I lived for it... We were at a restaurant, and we heard these people like, ‘Oh, Britney Spears is staying at this hotel in New York.’”

Kardashian said she and Jonathan Cheban accepted a ride in a Phantom Rolls-Royce, so it would appear they arrived with a driver. “We were like, ‘Can we get a ride to our hotel?’ and the guy’s like: ‘Yeah.’ And we were like, ‘We’ll sit in the back.’ So, it looks like we got out with a driver at this hotel.” 🫣

“Paparazzi everywhere waiting for Britney. At her hotel. They weren’t following us at this point, and we got out and they were like, ‘Kim, Kim, Kim, are you here to visit Britney?’ and Jonathan’s like, ‘Keep your head down and just, like, shut up.’” 😂

With nowhere to go inside, Kardashian said they hid briefly before heading back out. “We go inside and we go in a phone booth because we don’t know anyone at this hotel. So we go and, like, hang in the phone booth in this hotel for 20 minutes. And we’re like, ‘Alright, let’s go out.’ And we come out, and they’re like: ‘Kim, how was Britney?’” 😭

“We took a cab, I think, because this Rolls-Royce dropped us off... We totally scammed the system, and it was on, like, every cover, and we thought we were killing it,” she concluded.

When Kim said, “Get your f–king ass up and work,” she meant it. 💀
