Kim Kardashian\u2019s new podcast has shot to number one on Spotify.<\/p>\n
The reality star and trainee lawyer\u2019s \u201cKim Kardashian\u2019s The System: The Case of Kevin Keith\u201d launched on October 3 with two episodes, and it\u2019s proved so popular, it\u2019s overtaken the likes of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex\u2019s \u201cArchetypes\u201d and \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience\u201d.<\/p>\n
The first season of the true crime podcast explores a triple homicide, and Kardashian\u2019s aim with the podcast is to show the \u201cother side\u201d of cases are often unheard.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview, the SKIMS founder said: \u201cI think storytelling is key. Sharing people\u2019s stories that are not just on a rap sheet will help people get comfortable and understand where someone has come from.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually, you don\u2019t hear the other side. Usually, you hear triple homicide, and you get scared, especially if they\u2019re convicted. No one\u2019s going to look into (that person\u2019s case) enough to understand, well, there was no physical evidence linking him (to the crime).\u201d<\/p>\n
Watch video:<\/strong><\/p>\n On the outcome she hopes to get for Keith, who was sentenced to death, she said: \u201cThe ultimate end goal would be for the governor to commute Kevin\u2019s sentence.<\/p>\n \u201cBut then I feel like an investigation has to happen, too, to figure out who really did this and get that person behind bars. And I have speculation (about who that person is).\u201d<\/p>\n The 41-year-old star has been celebrated for her criminal justice reform work in recent years and is determined to help as many people as possible.<\/p>\n Asked how she started her campaigning, she said: \u201cI just saw something on social media that I didn\u2019t feel like was fair, and I didn\u2019t understand it. <\/p>\n \u201cA woman that didn\u2019t do anything violent, never had a ticket in her life, she answered the phone as a mule for a drug case and got the same sentence as Charles Manson.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I saw that, I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t get it. How did this happen? Did she need a better attorney?\u2019 I really didn\u2019t know, so I educated myself about it.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought, \u2018Okay, I can handle (pardoning) low-level drug offences, that I can resonate with.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBut if someone was killed \u2013 I didn\u2019t know I could get behind it until I was brought to a women\u2019s prison. Their stories were all very similar. They all committed a crime for their boyfriend, or for their husband.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, I probably did some dumb s*** at some point and I was maybe just a few decisions off of being in a similar situation, any of us could be.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce I saw how broken the system is, I couldn\u2019t stop. I have to help as many people as I can. These people are thrown away and put in prison and no one cares. It\u2019s so heartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n
