PR.com (Allison Kugel): How did Celebrity Apprentice come about for you, and what made you decide to do the show?

Khloe Kardashian: Kim was in talks to do it a couple years ago and it just never worked out. So, I knew they had an interest in the family. Then they asked me and I really wasn’t that keen on doing another reality show that wasn’t involving my family. But, I did think it was a good way to promote my stores and to promote our Dash name, and get it out there. I was the last one to sign on to the show. I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t some crazy reality show, and I wanted to make sure that it would be good for my work, and that is was a real show. I’d never seen the show so I didn’t know that much about it. I didn’t know if it was crazy antics, or if it was legitimate jobs where people were really working.

PR.com: You never saw The Apprentice?

Khloe Kardashian: Never. I knew Omarosa, and I had obviously heard about the show. I knew who some of the contestants were on the show, but I’d never seen an episode of celebrity, or the regular Apprentice.

PR.com: What was your experience like?

Khloe Kardashian: The show is really hard. You wake up every morning at 4am to start hair and makeup, and by the time you’re done filming it’s about midnight. It goes every single day. You might get a day off that week, you might not. The challenges are incredibly hard, and everything you do yourself. It’s not just for TV. Nobody helps you. They give you a task and you have to find a way to do it, and you’ve got to make sure you do it right or else you’re going to get fired. You obviously want to do well because now your career is kind of put on the line. All of us who did the show own businesses. You want to present yourself in an educated way and that you know what you’re doing, but it’s hard and it’s scary. There are so many other elements involved; you’re exhausted. But, it was fun and I was the youngest one on the show, so I feel like I learned a lot.

PR.com: Did you really feel like you were in a corporate environment?

Khloe Kardashian: Well, every challenge was different. We’re all people who are good at what we do in our own field. Putting all of these dominant personalities together, there was a lot of fighting and a lot of tension. In that aspect, no, because when I’m in a corporate environment normally everybody is really cordial with one another, and they get along and they respect each other. Even if you don’t agree with somebody’s decision you say it in an appropriate way. A lot of these people wanted camera time, or maybe they just are really that rude in a corporate environment. I don’t know (laugh). That’s not how I am.
