The animosity between Kim and Taylor was thrust into the public eye in 2016 when Kanye West, Kim's then-husband, leaked a phone call with Taylor. Reflecting on the controversy in a recent interview, Taylor described the incident as feeling like "a career death" at the time.

In a conversation with Times Magazine, she disclosed: "You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar."

"That took me down psychologically to a place I've never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn't leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls."
