“I was like, ‘We should do a full Skims campaign,’” Kim said. “Take the photo — even just us, like, I’ll shoot you and mom, you know, post it and then delete it, like, 30 minutes later. And then say, ‘Oh, sorry, I didn’t have permission to post those photos for the campaign.’”
“You should do that,” Khloe replied.
“That’s what I was like — that would have hit, so funny,” Kim added.
“If we just made it light and made it funny, you know, I think it would have been, like, received differently, but I hated how that was received for everyone. That sucks.
“It was just made into something that was so crazy and ridiculous that just didn’t have to be.”
Professional Fallout for the Sussexes
The aftermath of ‘photogate’ may have extended beyond social awkwardness. According to royal journalist Tom Sykes, the controversy reportedly contributed to internal fallout within the Sussexes’ team.
Writing in his Substack, The Royalist, Sykes claimed the situation raised serious concerns for the couple’s former chief publicist, Meredith Maines.
