(CNN) — Kim Kardashian is her eldest daughter North West’s biggest supporter, especially when it comes to North’s ability to express her creativity on social media.
Kardashian shares a TikTok account with 10-year-old North, whose father is Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye “Ye” West. The account has amassed more than 16 million followers, and despite criticism the Skims founder has received, she continued to defend her decision to allow North to create content on the platform, in an interview with Time, published Tuesday. Kardashian said that North “loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials of hers, and I’ll fight for her to be creative.”
The reality TV star also said in the interview that a lot of “trial and error” is done when deciding how his children interact and present themselves on these types of public-facing platforms.
One recent example was a Skims collaboration Kardashian did with rapper Ice Spice, which led to a video she deleted in March showing North doing playback with the controversial lyrics of one of the rapper’s songs.
“As soon as I saw the lyrics, I was like, ‘Oh no. Let’s take it down,'” Kardashian said, adding that she noticed people on the internet saying “Kanye was right.” This is in reference to public comments West had previously made on his Instagram (and later deleted) about his disapproval of North’s access to the TikTok app. Kardashian said that “maybe [tenía razón] then”.
Kardashian has in the past spoken out about the parameters she has set to make sure her daughter has a positive experience on social media platforms, most notably when she rebuked the aforementioned criticism of West by posting a rare statement on her Instagram stories. , last year, defending his decision.
“As a parent myself, and the primary provider and caretaker of our children, I am doing everything possible to protect our daughter, while allowing her to express her creativity in whatever medium she wishes with adult supervision,” the statement read. release.
Kardashian’s statement adds that this is all because she brings her daughter “a lot of happiness,” a sentiment the mother of four seems to still hold to this day.
