In a sit-down with Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian and their mom Kris Jenner, the veteran journalist looked back on Kim's initial brush with fame: Her 2007 sex tape with Ray J that stormed the web and made her a household name.
"So, was it a good thing to have done?" Walters asked of the X-rated clip.
"Whatever you do, you might think," Kim, 31, replied, stammering. "I've made mistakes in my life for sure."
Added mom and manager Jenner, 56, of the brouhaha: "It was devastating for the whole family. You cry yourself to sleep for a few nights, then you hire an attorney."
While on break from interviewing the president, Walters leaned in and said, "I need one more interview with you because I'm retiring next year," not realizing her mic was still on.
Are those kinds of requests even ethical? It doesn’t really matter in this situation because according to
E! News, Walters was just joking.
ABC News’ senior vice president, Jeff Schneider, told the website that The View co-host will not be closing the book on her career.
"I just got off the phone with Barbara Walters and she's joked that she's retiring every year since the Clinton administration. This seems like a typical week in the life of Barbara Walters—from interviews with the president of Syria, to the president of the United States, to the Kardashians!!"
Speaking of that Kardashian interview, Walters wasn’t too kind to the reality TV family.
In an interview for her Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People of 2011, she tells Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and mom Kris Jenner that, "You don't have any -- forgive me -- any talent!"
No need to ask for forgiveness Barbara, after all it is the simple truth. Catch more from the interview when the special airs on ABC Thursday night.
