What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHalf a point, and Gloria's still not over it.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnyway, Kim Kardashian says she's basically raising four kids by herself, and she also says she has five nannies.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWith us from a yacht is crisis publicist Zbigniew Okafor-Lind. Is that a fair description, raising four kids by herself?
Zbigniew Okafor-LindYes, and it's a beautiful one. Kim does this alone, the way I run this yacht alone, with a crew of eleven.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBut she told a podcast about the five nannies. She said it herself, right alongside the by myself part.
Zbigniew Okafor-LindTransparency, which is the real narrative here. The bell is for narrative.
Zbigniew Okafor-LindShe's honest about her help, and honest people are always alone, like me and my crew of fourteen.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFourteen?
Zbigniew Okafor-LindFourteen, plus a sommelier, who doesn't count because he's seasonal. Nobody counts the people who carry the bags, Kenji. That's what by myself means.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the nannies are basically furniture. And she also says she still does school drop-off and pickup, and one carpool morning she had five kids to take.
Zbigniew Okafor-LindHeroic, and I'd call it a comeback.
Zbigniew Okafor-LindSingle moms everywhere will see a woman driving to school, and not the seventeen people who packed the lunches.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSeventeen now? A minute ago the staff was five. Does everyone just join the household when you say narrative?
Zbigniew Okafor-LindOnly the ones who matter. She also said she wishes she could do it all over, and that's a comeback. Narrative.
Zbigniew Okafor-LindNobody wishes that alone.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLast question. Right now, how many people are on that yacht with you?
Zbigniew Okafor-LindJust me, Kenji. Me and a crew of nineteen.
