Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian – along with brother Rob and mom Kris Jenner – get very candid Sunday on the first of a two-part special edition of “Oprah’s Next Chapter.”
The family opens up about everything from Kim’s sex tape, Kourtney’s relationship with boyfriend Scott Disick, and Jenner’ role as a “momager.”
Of her “humiliating” sex tape, Kim says she’s “not naive” to the fact that the explicit home movie introduced her to millions worldwide.
“That’s something that I’m going to have to live with the rest of myself. Something that I’m going to have to tell my children one day,” Kim laments.
Jenner admits to crying herself to sleep “for a few nights” after she found out about the tape, but says she went on to “do what a mom would do.”
“[I] just said, ‘Look I love you and I’m here for you. Whatever you do can never be that bad,’” she recalls.
But like her much-criticized 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, Kim looks back on the controversies as experiences that taught her some harsh but much-needed lessons.

Reflecting on what caused the relationship to fall apart, Kim admits she and the NBA player spent very little time together before tying the knot.
“Once we moved in, I knew that he was not the one,” she confesses.
Kim goes on to explain, “As heartbreaking as that was to [file for divorce] and for anybody that I hurt, I truly am sorry and I truly don’t wish pain on anyone. But for the lesson that I learned, and the person I am because of that crazy experience, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
Similarly, Jenner says that while she regrets the marriage-ending affair she had while still wed to the late Robert Kardashian, she knows she wouldn’t have daughters Kylie and Kendall if she never went on to marry Bruce Jenner.
Kim says at the time of her parents’ split, “we knew it was my mom’s fault and we were really well aware.”
And for Kourtney, Jenner’s affair still remains hard for her to accept, she says, explaining, “I try to put myself in her shoes, and I would never do that to my family.”
“I’m kind of scared of marriage because of that,” she admits, adding, however, that she and Disick are “just as committed” as if they were betrothed.
All of the Kardashians are still struggling with the loss of Robert Sr., who died in 2003, with Khloe revealing she actually became estranged from the family after his passing.

“I didn’t want to see [my sisters]. They reminded me every bit of my father,” she explains.
Khloe adds, “That’s why I’m so grateful for [our] show. They became my family again.”
But for those that think the family is just seeking the spotlight, Rob says he actually “hates” the words “celebrity” and “fame,” explaining, “It sounds like you’re talking about yourself in an arrogant way. It just seems weird.”
Adds Kourtney, “I know I do it to myself, like I’m on a TV show, but I still am not comfortable.”
Jenner, however, makes no apologiees for using “any opportunity given to me to its fullest advantage.”
“And it doesn’t get any better than this,” she says. “I know I’m exactly where I want to be.”
