Kim Kardashian Says 2010 Justin Bieber Photo Shoot Was a Mistake

On Call Her Daddy, she says the Graduate-style concept feels wrong in hindsight.

Overview

  • Kardashian named the Elle spread when asked on the Oct. 15 Call Her Daddy episode what she probably should have been canceled for.
  • She noted Bieber was 16 and she was 29 during the 2010 Bahamas shoot, which was styled after The Graduate.
  • Kardashian said Bieber’s parents and his then‑girlfriend, Selena Gomez, were present and that nothing inappropriate occurred on set.
  • Images from the shoot included hand‑holding, a cheek kiss, and Kardashian brushing a rose against Bieber’s face.
  • The remarks arrive as the shoot has been reexamined in discussions about media sexualizing teen stars, with no new allegations beyond criticism of the concept.
