"She totally understood at the end of the day and she felt really awful for it and she just wants to move on from it," Kardashian said. "I didn't see it until it had already gotten the attention. So you obviously have a different perspective when everyone's just saying something. I think I was traveling and I landed and I just saw all this stuff come up."
