Kardashian Speech Ban
In the world of celebrity antics and family gatherings, few stories resonate like the Kardashian speech ban saga. At the heart of this tale are sisters Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian, whose notorious speech at Kim Kardashian’s second marriage has become the stuff of family legend.
The Incident That Started It All
Kourtney reminisced about a memorable speech mishap at Kim's wedding while promoting her wellness brand, Lemme, at Target, joking about their "unofficial ban" on her speech-giving.
Khloé, not one to let the story go untold, echoed her sister's sentiments on her own Instagram Story. The ban in question traces back to the extravagant 2011 wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries—a marriage that famously concluded after just 72 days. Despite the fallout, it was the sisters' drunken speech that stole the spotlight, leading to a family-wide veto on their future public addresses at Kardashian gatherings.
A Candid Reflection
Khloé's recount of the event was tinged with humor and a hint of nostalgia. "It wasn't our finest hour, but I'd wager it was a highlight for everyone who witnessed it," she mused, playfully campaigning for a revival of "Kourt and Kokes" speeches.
The topic resurfaced during Khloé's appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2014, after Kim's wedding to Kanye West. Khloé humorously recalled her speech ban, alongside Kanye's teasing during his own lengthy oration. "It was a battle of the ranters, but his speech was legendary," she admitted.
The Wedding That Captured a Season Finale
Kim and Kanye's wedding in Florence, preceded by a grand rehearsal dinner at the Palace of Versailles, marked an iconic Kardashian moment, featured in the Keeping Up with the Kardashians season 6 finale. Kim shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that the opulent Versailles celebration may have inspired the infamous speech ban, underscoring the family's knack for unforgettable, though not always perfect, events.
Moving Forward
As the Kardashian story unfolds, with Kim and Kanye parting ways in 2022, the playful memory of a speech ban lingers in the family's saga. It's uncertain if the ban will be lifted, but in Kardashian lore, a single sincere or funny speech can redeem everything.
