Kendall Jenner Reacted To The Viral Video Of Her Struggling To Cut A Cucumber After Being Called “Far Removed From Reality” When Kris Jenner Called For Help From Their Chef
Kendall was called “privileged” and “far removed from reality” after Kris Jenner called for help from their personal chef when she struggled to cut up a cucumber.

The latest installment of Hulu reality series The Kardashians was quite the roller coaster, to say the least.
As bizarre as it sounds, the short clip of Kendall chopping up the vegetable went viral after fans were left bewildered by just how difficult she found it.
During the video, Kendall is joined by her mom, Kris Jenner, who asks if she’d like their chef to make her a snack. Kendall replies, “I’m making it myself. Just gonna chop up some cucumber, it’s pretty easy.”
Clearly speaking too soon, however, Kendall goes on to admit that she’s “scared” she’ll accidentally cut herself as she questions how to hold the vegetable and knife.
“You go girl,” says Kris before closely watching her daughter as she begins to attempt slicing her snack. “Be careful because I nipped myself the other day,” she warns.
“I know, I’m kinda scared,” Kendall says as she repositions herself. Looking confused and questioning whether or not cucumbers have seeds, the 26-year-old model goes on to the camera crew: “I’m definitely not a good cutter, so don’t zoom in on me. I’m not professional whatsoever.”
As she awkwardly begins, Kris — who’s now clearly concerned — calls for their personal chef to take matters into their own hands.

“Hey chef, do you wanna cut this up for her?” Kris calls out. But, adamant to finish preparing her snack, Kendall maintains that she’ll do it herself.
And Kris is certainly sure to let their company Scott Disick know that “Kendall’s cutting cucumber” as soon as he joins them in the kitchen later on.

Within no time, the video of the odd exchange went viral online, with several social media users questioning why Kendall found it so hard to slice the vegetable.
“I just saw a TikTok of Kendall Jenner attempting to chop a cucumber and it’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” one person wrote.

Unsurprisingly, Kendall’s tweet quickly blew up too, with several users further commenting on the bizarre and “tragic” exchange in response.
And while she’s clearly seeing the funny side to it all, Kendall was ultimately met with more criticism from users continuing to call her “out of touch.”
“kendall it’s tragic because you’re so out of touch you don’t even NEED to cut your own cucumber. that’s what’s tragic,” one person wrote.
