“Talk, ask (questions), listen.. maybe even learn..."
Kim Kardashian is setting the record straight on a decade-long rumor.
The rumor stems from a viral moment in 2014 when Kardashian appeared to forget her then-1-year-old daughter North West inside the lobby of a hotel in Paris as she walked to her car.
The moment, which took place outside Le Royal Monceau, was captured in a video taken by paparazzi and shared by StormShadowCrew on YouTube.

In the video, Kardashian walks out of the hotel lobby wearing “a form fitting, powder pink two-piece distressed set,” according to People, with a grey coat draped over her shoulders.
Kardashian then walks up to her vehicle and takes her coat off before walking back inside the lobby. She returned moments later with toddler North on her hip.
On July 11, the mother of four took to her Instagram Stories to clarify that she didn’t forget North in the lobby.
“I wanted to show off the look before holding her bc her outfit didn’t match mine!” she wrote in the Story, which has since expired, per E! News.
“I didn’t forget her!!!!” Kardashian added, according to the outlet.
Kardashian’s explanation was a little different than the one she gave in 2014 when the rumor began.
“Heard on the radio today some story I forgot my daughter at our hotel as I'm leaving for the airport. Are you kidding me?!?!?! LOL,” Kardashian wrote in an X post on Oct. 3, 2014.
“I went to the car to make sure the car seat was in because the day before we had a car seat issue,” she added in a separate X post several minutes later.
“Do u guys really think a 1-year-old would be inside the lobby by herself! Oh wait she was waiting to check out lol,” she concluded in a third X post.
Fans were quick to call the reality star out for her differing explanations.
“It’s the fact that she thinks this explanation is any better than her forgetting her in the room,” one user wrote in a Reddit discussion about Kardashian’s recent post.
“This explanation … Kim always going to be Kim,” another Reddit user replied.
Kim Kardashian describes North as a ‘big critiquer’
Kardashian shares her daughter North with her ex-husband Kanye West, whom she was married to from 2014 to 2022, according to People.
The former couple welcomed North in June 2013, several months before West proposed, per the outlet.
On June 13, Kardashian took to Instagram to celebrate North’s 12th birthday.
“We were looking at pics today together and laughing so hard, you were so small. It’s been the most special calling being your mom,” she wrote in the caption alongside photos of the mother-daughter duo.
“I love you forever and got you forever my bubs,” she added.
The birthday tribute came a little over a month after Kardashian’s latest Met Gala experience.
While North didn’t attend the event, she did help her mom get dressed and was in the car when Kardashian got dropped off at the red carpet.
On the carpet, she spoke to “Vogue” correspondent Emma Chamberlain about her daughter’s evolving personality.
"She's a big critiquer, but it's pretty good, you know, her critiquing," Kardashian said.
"She's also, I think, in a really positive place, like vibe, right now, where it's just like, 'Hey, even if that's not my style, I'm not going to critique that because just be you and if you like that then that's what you should be into,’” she added.
