Khloe Kardashian defends herself over Australian TV fall-out

Written by . Published: March 18 2014

Reality TV regular Khloe Kardashian has denied allegations she cut short an Australian TV interview after objecting to a question about her baby niece North West.


The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was a guest on Australian breakfast show Sunrise on Monday (17Mar14), appearing via satellite link to promote her new line of children's clothes.


However, the interview went awry after host Sam Armytage said to Kardashian, "I guess the baby line was inspired now with lots of nieces and nephews running around... How's baby North going?"


The call was cut off after the question and the show's executive producer, Michael Pell, alleged the star's team deliberately pulled the plug on the chat, saying "What happened with Khloe Kardashian on the show is a good lesson for publicists everywhere. Don't try to censor natural conversation. You would think coming on to promote a range of clothes that includes a baby line, it would be fair enough to ask about the inspiration. When you watch the interview you see Khloe had no problem with the questions. It's obvious someone on her team did, and pulled the plug. Khloe shouldn't declare war on us, she should declare war on her own publicists."


Kardashian has since taken to Twitter.com to blame the mistake on a technical fault, writing, "Why would I cut an interview short because of North? Get over your self Sunrise... The call dropped... stop reaching for a story. You are so f**king desperate!"


North West is the daughter of Kardashian's sister Kim and her fiance Kanye West.
