Overview
- Biographer Jonathan Van Meter says he sought an interview with Paris Hilton late in reporting and that Hilton canceled the conversation 17 times over about four months.
- Sources close to Paris tell TMZ the missed interviews were a scheduling error handled by an assistant and that Kim Kardashian is "absolutely not mad."
- Van Meter says he worked with Kardashian for years, that she reviewed drafts and asked edits, and that he removed two sentences he says raised safety concerns.
- The author also reports that Kris Jenner reacted angrily on camera when she learned the book would include a decades-old affair, and that footage is expected to show up on the family’s Hulu series.
- Citizen Kim is scheduled for release on Oct. 27 and the contradictory accounts between Van Meter and Hilton’s camp remain unresolved as publicity builds.
