This comes after Kardashian’s sister Khloe came under fire for using the word during an Instagram livestream in July.

After her Twitter followers called her out, Khloe apologized.

“Ugh, I hate that word! Why did I even say that?” she wrote at the time. “You are a million per cent right, and I actually greatly dislike when people use that word! I will do better! I am sorry! Much love today.”
