After Kris Jenner requested assistance from their personal chef to cut up a cucumber, Kendall was dubbed “privileged” and “far removed from reality.”
To say the least, the newest episode of Hulu’s reality show The Kardashians was an emotional roller coaster.

But, in the midst of the mayhem, one moment in particular drew a lot of attention online, and it was Kendall Jenner trying to chop a cucumber, which was perhaps unexpected by fans.

Kendall is joined in the video by her mother, Kris Jenner, who asks if she wants their chef to cook her a snack. “I’m making it myself,” Kendall replies. “Just gonna chop up some cucumber, it’s pretty easy.”

Kendall, clearly speaking too soon, goes on to say that she’s “scared” she’ll cut herself while pondering how to hold the vegetable and knife.

“You go girl,” Kris exclaims as she keeps a careful eye on her daughter as she tries to slice her lunch. “Be careful,” she says, “because I nipped myself the other day.”

Kendall repositions herself and replies, “I know, I’m kinda scared.” “I’m definitely not a good cutter, so don’t zoom in on me,” the 26-year-old model says to the camera team, seeming perplexed and inquiring whether cucumbers had seeds. “I’m not professional whatsoever.”

Kris, who is plainly apprehensive as she begins, summons their personal chef to solve the situation.

“Hey chef, do you wanna cut this up for her?” Kris exclaims. Kendall, on the other hand, is adamant on finishing her snack preparation.
