Welp: Kimmy Cakes Axes Assistant With Touchy Close Friendship With Kourtney Kardashian

Kim Kardashian Fires Stephanie Shepherd

Kim Kardashian just fired her assistant of the past few years after she reportedly tried to get her to take on more responsibility. People Mag is reporting that Stephanie Shepherd had taken a step back in lighter tasks such as styling. However, she said she has been given other opportunities, like helping to run the reality star’s Kimoji app and Stephanie flopped.

“Kim made a decision to let Stephanie go,” the insider says. “She was a good assistant but when Stephanie wanted to transition into a larger role with Kim’s brand and businesses, it just didn’t work. Kim gave her the chance but after a short period of time it became clear that Stephanie just didn’t have the knowledge to take on a role like that. Kim made an executive decision to part ways.”

Stephanie and Kourtney grew a close friendship while she worked for Kim. The two single ladies referred to each other as “wifey” in a number of instagram posts. The two still are hanging tough, but Kim isn’t feeling Steph.

“She’s still friendly with the other sisters but she and Kim aren’t really speaking.”
