Kim Kardashian thinks it's 'ridiculous' that some people believe her mother is 'pimping her children'.

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star told 'Oprah Winfrey The Next Chapter' that Kris Jenner is the best manager for her celebrity siblings.

She said: 'I think that's so ridiculous. First of all, we have to hire a manager. So regardless, someone is going to get that [job].

'No one will fight harder for you than your own mother. She knows us. She knows all of our moods...We just get each other. We vibe. It works.'

The host then asked if the Kardashians would be running an empire and enjoying the success they have today if they weren't 'good-looking kids.'

Robert Kardashian said: 'Well. They're not, like, skinny women.'

Khloe added: 'I mean in today's society, yeah, to be honest, probably not. You have to have this bombshell over here [Kim] and this petite little bundle of joy [Kourtney] and this hunk next to me [Rob].'

Kourtney continued: 'But we are all different. We have different body types.'

Kim reasoned: 'But I don't think [our success] would've happened if we were all like skinny, pretty models. I think it has to do with us, the curves, the dark hair!'

She also thinks that the sisters 'helped broaden' the representation of Middle-Eastern women in mainstream media, giving them a niche role as they rose to fame.
