At the time of the infamous business advice, Kourtney Kardashian had also chimed in, agreeing to Kim's comments, as at the time, the 43-year-old replied, "That's so true, yeah."

The public thought Kourtney sounded rather contradicting, after stating, “But also, if I didn’t want to work my a** off and I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, that’s f**king fine!” in an episode from the reality series.
