Kim Kardashian F1ghts for Alice Johnson’s Freedom While Prepping for the Met Gala
Do you want to just take photos or do we want to work out? We’re going to box now. We’re going to take good photos. Okay. Okay. Minor injuries. You guys are good. No bad knees. Shoulders. I have a bad shoulder, a bad knee, and a bad ankle. Sound bad. I just have a bad place.
I had a cr4zy workout on Saturday and it my So, there’s just certain things that you can do. Feel free to just switch off on your own. Just try not to hurt yourself. Wait, Kylie should be here. The Met is in one week and she hasn’t worked out once. She’s 20 years old. Once a year there’s the Met Ball. You know, it’s a really big deal to be invited.
It’s an honor and that’s something that I really look forward to attending. We are making it known today that late30s slash 40 is the new 18/ 21. I’m going to decide about the pool table stuff. I just honestly don’t use it, but I like I kind of like having it. Like what else would I put there, you know? So, you know Alice Johnson, the lady that I’ve been trying to get out of jail.
Okay. I didn’t know her name. It’s her first time offense that was nonvi0lent and she got life in prison without the possibility of parole, which was really cr4zy. How long has she been there? 21 years. 6 months ago, I stumbled across a story of Alice Marie Johnson. My name is Alice Marie Johnson.
I’ve seen your mother, grandmother, and great grandmother in less than two weeks since October 31st along the 21st year of environment prison. I first started with retweeting the story and I just kept on watching it over and just feeling how unfair this is and hoping that I could reach out and make a difference.
you know, she’s like definitely served her time and she didn’t k1ll anyone. It’s like a nonvi0lent offense your first time and you get life without the possibility of parole. Like that’s just not fair. We all make mistakes. We all up. Yeah. Everyone else that was actually dealing the dru9s, pleaded guilty, went in jail for a few years, and got out.
So, she pleaded not guilty and got found guilty. So, everyone else is living their life out of jail, and you’re trying to get her out. Yeah. But the only person that can grant her clemency, which means to like forgive her punishment, you know, and get her out of prison, would be the president. Mhm. My first phone call was to Ivanka.
I just felt like as a woman, she would really feel for this woman the way that I connected with Alice, and she did. And she connected me with her husband, Jared. So, I actually have a meeting with the president of the United States next week to discuss Alice Johnson. It’s just tricky because like they’ve asked me to go and talk to Trump about why Alice should get out and I’ve been so straightforward with Jared that, you know, I have different views.
I was at Hillary fundraisers. So, you know, this might not be like a popular opinion, but I’ll talk to whoever I need to talk to in order to get the job done. But I’m excited to go to the White House. I’m not going to lie. I just want to go and see where JFK and Jackie slept. I just want to touch one thing of Jackie’s port. I’m in the closet. Hi.
Wait, I thought you were on a plane cuz I thought you were going to meet going to Washington DC. I know. I was supposed to and then it got cancelled. What got cancelled last minute? My meeting with Trump. Oh, on their end. Yeah. Okay. So, it’s been like just literally I was like ready to go, plain ready, attorneys ready.
When I came on board trying to help Alice grant clemency for herself, she had a team of attorneys that have been helping her for, you know, a decade. The whole team really worked hard on getting letters from senators and politicians. We got the help of the prosecutor and there was misinformation in her file that wasn’t even true about her case and so we had to correct all of that.
So there was so many different hurdles and now the meeting gets cancelled because we need a little bit more support. I had a conference call this morning with the team. They are saying that they want a thousand letters. A thousand letters. Yeah. He had already submitted a bunch of letters.
So, I guess the question for Jared is how many letters do you really need and where are these letters supposed to come from? Okay, got it. Things keep moving and changing and it’s all really frustrating, but I definitely don’t want to let Alice down. So, it just pushes me even more to want to f1ght for her.
All right, I’m going to email Jared now. Who how many letters realistically and who from? Don’t forget to remind him about all the letters that we sent already. Totally. Okay, bye. Penelope was has a question. Okay. She wants to know if she can go with you to pick up North from school. Yeah, but I don’t have another car seat. Can they put one of her car seats in my car? Yeah.
Oh, perfect. Let’s see. Do they send this? Oh my god. Pillows. Oh my god. I have to use this on my bed for the tr.i.p. 100%. For the vibe. I’m in New York for the Met. And you know, there’s so much going on with Alice’s case and Kanye. But here is what I’ve realized.
I’m always gonna be me. So, I could be, you know, getting ready for this big fashion event, doing a nude shoot, doing wh@tever I and still making calls at the White House. Like, that’s just me is who I am and it is what it is. We love it. You look so donating. 1 hour.
Oh my god. Your sister’s calling me. Hello. Hello. How are you? Amazing. So, the White House has agreed to set up a meeting and that makes me so happy because I just know that explaining what Alice has been through, I feel like, how could you not feel for her and see her like pure soul and have sympathy for her? All right, I’ll talk to you then.
Thank you. All right, perfect. Have a good night. Bye. This is so exciting. I know. I don’t want to get too excited. I know. I know. But I feel like it’s going to happen. Yeah. Sounded very warning. Besides, we really have to be in the car. Should we just finish the rest in the car? Yeah. I’m doing Hello.
It’s so cr4zy here. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. This is the fun part. I can’t talk anymore for the rest of the night. So cute. So cute. Heat. Heat.
Oh my god, that’s beautiful. Cutie looks good. Can you stop slow? No, we can open it. Okay, you guys are off. Thank you. Heat. Heat. Today is the day we present the case to the president at the White
House. Are you guys nervous? I’m a little bit nervous, but I feel like this watch is Jackie O’s that I bought on auction. So, I feel very the Kennedy hopefully not the Kennedy curse. I’ve got the Kennedy strength with me. Yeah. You got any advice? Talk to me. No, I don’t know if anyone can give you advice.
Yeah, it’s probably true. My thing is I might not know a whole lot about the laws and prison reform, but that’s why Shawn is here and you know to kind of talk about just more of the details of her case. Yeah. Yeah. If he does this, that’s major. It’s major. We’re literally just about to pull up.
I’ve never been to the White House before. I’m excited. I’m nervous. I know we have one sh0t to plead our case. Knowing that someone’s life is in my hands, it’s a really scary feeling. We have to just do justice by Alice. Hello. Hey, I just walked out of that. He was like, “Thank you.
Bye. Thank you so much. It was good.” I mean, I think it’s I mean, I think it’s going to happen. I don’t know. It does seem like it, right? It seems like it, but it’s like a process. Wait, wait, wait, babe. I I have these people on the phone. I’ll call you right back. Hi. Hi. Okay, so we think it went really, really well.
So when we walked in, he was finishing up a meeting with Jeff Sessions, John Kelly, who else was in there. I mean, it was just all of those men were in there. All those guys left except for John Kelly kind of hovered. And it was a lot of chitchatting. You know, they talked a little bit about Chloe on the Celebrity Apprentice and things like that.
A lot of Kanye talk. I love Kanye. I love him. Um he’s so great. I mean, just like overly, you know, Kanye has been positive about him. Um, but I did want to keep this very separate from Kanye because I think, you know, we just and and he said the same thing that he wanted to keep this as a completely separate conversation, but Jared has said that, you know, Kanye reaching out and speaking out has been very positive for this.
We talked about the fact that her um codefendants, most of them are out. They didn’t, you know, they didn’t like the fact that she was in and they were out. So he he did say this is the right thing to do. I mean, you know, 21 years for just dru9s. Like he he he said that I just I just hope like Jared said, I’ve seen it go.
I can only give a 99% and we’re as close as as 99% is what Jared said. But he’s like, I can never give 100% because you never know what he might do. Please announce yourself. Hi. Hi guys. It’s Kim. Oh my god, Kim. This is so cr4zy. We did it. Oh my god. We did it. I’m at a shoot so I cannot cry. I’m I’m already doing it.
But this is so cr4zy. You did it. Oh my god. I cannot believe we pulled this off. I can’t believe it. You made this. There was no way this would have happened without you. Hello. Hi, it’s Britney. Hi Britney. Hi Britney. Hi. Who’s on? It’s Kim and Sean. Kim and Jennifer. Hey. Hey y’all. Okay, one second.
I’m trying to take a deep breath so I don’t jack this all up. Okay. Okay. Okay. Alice. Hello. I’m here. Miss Alice. Yes. That’s Kim. This is Kim. It’s Kim. Hi, Kim. How you doing? Angels. My war angels. I cannot believe it. We did it. We We did it. What happened? We did it. You don’t know? Nope. She doesn’t know.
You’re stronger than he is. Oh my gosh. Alice, you’re out. Yes. He’s going home. I can I I’m sorry. I thought you knew. Oh my god. The news just broke. The pre the president just called me and he told me that um that you are out. He signed the papers. It’s been released to the press. Everything.
You’re coming home. So we did it. I wish we could all be together and have a big cry in my office. Oh my goodness. We’re all here. You did it. You did it. You did. You did it. Well, I’m I I’m like I can’t cry. I’m on set of a photo shoot and I have all this makeup on. I’m like, “Don’t cry.
Don’t cry. Don’t cry.” Don’t cry, please. But I will cry as soon as I see you. I will I got I have to come out and meet you and see you. And the president was so nice and said, you know, a lot of people fought against this, but he believed in you and he called everyone and everyone said you were just such an amazing person.
So, he’s so happy to do it for you. And he um he was really really happy. I am so grateful that we are giving someone their life back and giving them a second chance. And I’m just so happy for Alice. Alice, I will connect with you in a little bit. I’m going to go back to my to my shoot. I will connect with you um you know, after you settle in with your family.
I’ll give my cell phone number to Sean if you guys, you know, want to call me later. I’ll be available. Um, and then, you know, we’ll plan to I’ll come down in a few days just to give you a big hug. Breaking news. All right, we are coming to you live where we are now seeing Alice Johnson being reunited with her friends and family after being behind bars for 21 years.
Girls, do you know why we’re going to Tennessee? We are going to meet a woman named Miss Alice Johnson. We have to go meet Miss Alice because mommy and Shawn helped her get out of jail. She was in jail for 20 almost 22 years. So Alice and I have been discussing when we’re going to meet face to face. Like we have to meet.
We have to connect. We have to just give each other a big hug. Just that video of seeing Alice run out of prison and get to her family and hug everyone was just such a satisfying moment. Just to know that she’s been behind bars for 22 years and she’s now home. It’s really amazing.
I think honestly for the first one, it couldn’t have gone better. And that’s what like so many people don’t get. Like this has nothing to do with politics. Like politics. I don’t really know anything. This just has to do with get in front of the person that is the only person in the world that can make this decision. Right. Right.
And try to change their mind. Look at everyone in the window. Sean, do you want to come with me? I can’t wait to meet your family. Oh my god, Kale. You never gave up and you did it. You did it. You did it. This is Sean. You have to meet Shawn. Hi, Sean.
She helped me with everything. I’m so happy to be here. I want to meet your whole family. She just is the sweetest person and it’s so great just to see her back with her family. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much, Kim. This is my sister, Selma. How many sisters do you have? And his sister.
Hi. This is a brother Tammy, my niece. Hi. My nephew Randall. Hi. How are you? My niece Sherry. These two are singers. Hi. Oh, wow. She has her life back. She has a full second chance and she’s with her grandkids and her kids and she’s so grateful. Hey babe, do you have a second? Okay, hold on.
I want you to talk to Alice. She has to say one thing. It’s really cute. Hold on. Hi, Kanye. Oh, I am wonderful. I’m sitting here in front of your beautiful wife. I want you to know that the people here in Memphis love you and they love you here. It’s like this is something that gives not only prisoners hope but America hope again. So you played a big role in this.
Thank you. Thank you. Here’s your wife. I love you Kanye. Here’s your wife. Hey babe. Okay. Get back to your meeting. Okay. Bye. I’m telling you this is something that everywhere I go if you could only just walk down the streets in Memphis. I know you can’t, but I do. People recognize me now and they’re in tears hugging me and telling me how happy they are that I’ve come back home.
I don’t know these people, but they’re so happy for me. It’s just love. It’s I’m tell it’s like a love fest, if you want to call it that. I’ve heard I’ve seen that word before, a love fest, but this is what’s going on here. On this journey of getting Alice out, I have learned so much about criminal justice and really how messed up our system is.
Jared was texting me and said, “Honestly, we couldn’t have picked a better person to open up his heart and for this to get started because now he doesn’t want to stop.” So that’s all you. That’s all you. So, thank you. Thank you. There’s so much that has to be done and I know Alice’s case is the one that spoke to me.
But now that that is like in me, I can’t stop at Alice. Like there has to be so much more that I could do. This is only a small portion of the my tribe. Well, you’re very lucky to have a big support system and family. Thank you. Thank you, Kim. Just seeing Alice with her huge family, it’s like me and my big family.
If I couldn’t be with them for two decades, that would break my soul. Are you in the entire world? eating so long. Keep sitting here in the store. I feel like I used to live my life so much about just being pa.ssionate about me. Now my priorities have shifted. So I’m really excited for this year and what’s to come and the more that I can do to help other people.
Heat. Heat.
