“Not Speaking”: Kim Kardashian Has Fired Her Long-Time Assistant Stephanie Shepherd

Stephanie spent four years working for the star.

Kim Kardashian has reportedly sacked her assistant of four years, Stephanie Shepherd, and they’re no longer speaking to one another.

It seems that Stephanie wanted to take on a more responsible role within the reality star’s beauty brand, KKW, but when given the chance she failed to do the necessary tasks.

An insider close to the Kardashian family told People, “Kim made a decision to let Stephanie go. 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.”

The source added that Stephanie is “still friendly with the other sisters but she and Kim aren’t really speaking.”
