At the time, people thought they may be dating, even though Kim is literally 14 years his senior, and she&#8217;s now addressed the backlash.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s actually now claimed the shoot, which was for Elle magazine, &#8220;should have got her cancelled&#8221; and agrees it was not the best idea back in 2010. Kim has since asked on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I6wCuvvaRPI\">Call Her Daddy podcast<\/a>, &#8220;Who thought that was a good idea?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t even host Alex Cooper who brought up the infamous Kardashian and Bieber photoshoot, but Kim herself. Basically, Alex asked Kim, &#8220;What is something you probably should have gotten cancelled for but didn&#8217;t?&#8221; and Kim immediately, &#8220;I know what it is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian BTS Elle Magazine Photoshoot (2010) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a66Inl9rtz\">pic.twitter.com\/a66Inl9rtz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Justin Bieber Dumps (@JDBieberDumps) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JDBieberDumps\/status\/1899605630702514222?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 11, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She added: &#8220;I think I am going to get cancelled if I say it. I don&#8217;t know who approved this and I don&#8217;t know who thought that this was normal, this narrative, but I did a photo shoot with Justin Bieber and he was 16 years old and I don&#8217;t know how old I was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kim clarified that there was nothing untoward about the arrangement and said: &#8220;His girlfriend was there, his parents were there, I mean it was like nothing creepy at all. He&#8217;s like a good dear friend of ours and the whole family, but like who thought that that was a good idea?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She continued: &#8220;I must have been 30. It was a story of what&#8217;s that story with the teacher and the student, the graduate. The graduate. I just feel like nothing ever weird was obviously happening and it was just an odd concept and why none of us thought that was odd.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;But now we look back and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;That would have not been the most appropriate thing&#8217;,&#8221; Kim added, explaining the shoot was inspired by the 1967 comedy The Graduate which follows a recent college graduate seduced by an older married woman, Mrs Robinson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals,
