“Honestly, she’s probably dealing with a lot right now,” the actor said after lightly teasing the reality star for missing a “Women in Entertainment” event.
Kardashian superfan and actor Seth Rogen was given the task of introducing Charlize Theron to The Hollywood Reporter“Women in Entertainment” breakfast yesterday. But before getting to the formalities, he could not help but express his disappointment at the flagrant lack of Kim Kardashian.
Kardashian was scheduled to be a presenter at the event but was unable to attend at the last minute. After joking about the quiche served (and skipped) for breakfast, Rogen quipped, “Are we gonna talk about how Kim Kardashian didn’t show up? Is that going to happen? I saw all episodes of keeping up with the Kardashians, I know she’s not doing anything more important than that. I’ve seen it 100,000 hours. She’s never done anything bigger than that. It would be the highlight of the show!
Rogen then threw up his hands and wondered, “What is she doing?” That’s when – some might say – a thought from Kardashian’s ex-husband, the father of her children, Kanye Westand all the savage, anti-semitic Things he said, passed by Rogen like a ghost. He shook his head and, looking at the podium, and with an embarrassed chuckle, said, “Honestly, she’s probably got a lot going on right now.”
For what it’s worth, a Kardashian source later provided page 6 with a reason for his absence: “The wrong date for the event was given to Kim’s team several weeks ago. The mistake was only realized on Monday and unfortunately his schedule could not be changed at the last minute due to a prior work commitment. She was incredibly disappointed not to be able to attend.
