“Fame was all I wanted” — Kim Kardashian admits using Britney Spears’ name to chase spotlight in early 2000s

Kim Kardashian has admitted that in her early years, she went as far as using Britney Spears’ name just to get noticed.

The SKIMS founder made the revelation while speaking on her sister Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land. According to Kim, this happened in the early 2000s when fame was all she cared about.

She recalled having dinner in New York City with her longtime friend Jonathan Cheban when he discovered that pop star Britney Spears was staying at a nearby hotel. That information, Kim said, became an opportunity.

Kim openly admitted that at the time, being famous was her only goal.

“Fame was all I wanted. I lived for it,” she said.
