During a recent "GOAT Talk" segment with All's Fair costar Niecy Nash-Betts, Kim explained, "Her and her girlfriends, they love doing costumes, they love doing looks. It's Halloween season, so they put on fake tattoos on their face, fake piercings. They all had their hair colored."

North West showed no signs of backing down amid mixed reactions online.
Despite the criticism, North showed no signs of backing down.
This bold display underscored her vibrant personality and creative spirit — one that she shares with her mom and the rest of her family.
Over the holidays, Kanye and Kim united to celebrate as a family, showcasing their commitment to parental cohabitation.
However, Kim is still weary of her ex.
“They were surprisingly cordial and focused entirely on co-parenting. It wasn’t about them. It was all about the kids," the insider told journalist Rob Shuter's Substack.
Kim allegedly sees through any “new Kanye” or “reformed Kanye" narratives and knows the "Jesus Walks" singer "hasn’t changed overnight."
West is known for dealing with mental health challenges and public outbursts, which is why Kim "sees him for what he is — chaotic, unpredictable, and sometimes impossible," the insider dished.
"But she also knows he’s the father of her kids. She’s protective, but willing to meet him halfway for their family," the source stressed. “He’s spent a lot of time thinking about his actions. He wants to show up for his family responsibly, and this Christmas was a chance to prove it — at least for the kids."
