Kim Kardashian said she now considers the concept of a 2010 Elle photo shoot with Justin Bieber inappropriate in retrospect, while stressing that nothing creepy happened. In a report about her October 15, 2025 appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Kardashian said Bieber was 16 and she was 29 at the time.
What Kardashian said about the shoot
According to People’s report syndicated by AOL, Kardashian described the shoot as an idea that seemed odd when she looked back on it. She said, “Nothing ever weird was obviously happening,” but questioned why people involved had not recognized the concept as odd at the time. She added that, in retrospect, it “would not have been the most appropriate thing.”
Kardashian also said, “I mean, it was like nothing creepy at all,” and asked who had thought the idea was a good one. Her comments were about the shoot’s concept, not an allegation of misconduct.
What the 2010 shoot depicted
The report describes the Elle shoot as showing Kardashian and Bieber flirting and running around on a beach. Kardashian reportedly compared its concept to the 1967 film The Graduate. The available account does not establish further details about the shoot or reproduce the original photo spread.
