President Barack Obama is apparently not a fan of the E! Network reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” according to the First Lady.
In an interview with iVillage.com, Michelle Obama talked about raising her daughters Malia, 13 and Sasha, 10. In the sit-down discussion, she spoke about her daughters’ chores around the White House and their television habits.
She added that the president doesn’t like the girls to watch the Kardashians’ series.
“Barack really thinks some of the Kardashians—when they watch that stuff—he doesn’t like that as much,” the First Lady said during the interview. “But I sort of feel like if we’re talking about it, and I’m more concerned with how they take it in—what did you learn when you watched that. And if they’re learning the right lessons…then I’m like, okay.”
Michelle explained that her daughters aren’t allowed to watch television or be on the computer during weekdays unless doing so is school related. On the weekends, they are permitted to have a limited amount of TV time.
According to TMZ, after hearing about the interview, the Kardashians said they were “surprised” by the news because Obama told Khloe Kardashian that their reality series was a “great show” when they met last year. She and her husband, Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom, were invited to the White House in January 2010 to celebrate his victory that year in the NBA Finals.
The Kardashians added that Sasha and Malia could learn something from the show because it features girls handling real-life situations and problems.
