Reality Behind Kim Kardashian, Stephanie Shepherd Feud Amid Birthday Wishes, 'Nemesis' Allegations

While it might be hard to keep up with the Kardashians, tabloids trying to stir up rumors that have already been debunked by the very subject of the allegations months ago, do not help. Moments after reality star Kim Kardashian wished her former personal assistant, Stephanie Shepherd, on her birthday, an outlet tried to wrongly imply the two of them were “nemesis,” and got an earful from the former.

The false rumor of a “feud” which supposedly existed last year, was brought to focus when Mail Online titled an article about Kim’s sweet gesture toward Shepherd as, “Kim Kardashian sends former nemesis Stephanie Shepherd birthday wishes after sister Kourtney helped organize the ex-assistant’s birthday bash.”

The article went on to talk about how Kim and Shepherd “fell out over ‘professional differences’” and how, through the barrage of birthday wishes on Instagram, “Kim showed she has put that feud behind.”

As soon as the British outlet published the article, Kim took to Twitter to set the record straight, although she had done so a number of times in the past.

“Please stop with this fake narrative. She was NEVER my nemesis. We simply stopped working together but we have always remained super close friends,” she tweeted.

If one was to visit the article presently, the controversial heading has been replaced with a much simpler “Kim Kardashian sends Stephanie Shepherd birthday wishes after sister Kourtney helped organize the ex-assistant's birthday bash” – no doubt a result of Kim’s dispelling of the rumor.

The rumor started back in 2017 when Shepherd stopped being Kim’s personal assistant after working with her for four years. As it turned out, Shepherd, like most professionals, wanted to try something else out in her career.

Only a month back, the two of them shot a video together, which was posted on Kim’s website, where Shepherd said there was no ongoing feud between the two of them.

“We’ve never had a feud,” Kim’s former personal assistant explained, adding that she just wanted to “go off and do other things.” Pointing out that the rumors were “not true,” Shepherd said, “we really never even stopped talking.”

According to Gossip Cop, there was a ton of other evidence proving the two of them were still friends with each other. In April, Shepherd can be seen in an Instagram video posted by family friend Larsa Pippen, celebrating Kourtney Kardashian’s birthday with her and Kim. Shepherd also attended the CFDA Fashion Awards in June where Kim was honored with the Influencer Award.

All of these pointed to the fact that Shepherd was never Kim’s “nemesis” as she was painted out to be and that they still share more than a cordial bond.
