Kim Kardashian & Teyana Taylor Take Lie Detector Tests | Vanity Fair

I want to settle this for once and for all, right? Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe's dress? You're gonna cost me like $10 million in insurance. Tiana, Kim, we brought you here today to take a lie detector test. One of you will be hooked up to the machine while the other will ask the questions and then you'll switch. This is Stephanie, our polygraph operator, who wants to be in the hot seat first. I'll go. Arms up for me. I feel like I'm getting like the death penalty. What I do, what's the crime? Okay, there we go. Nice. Tiana, to calibrate the machine, I'm just gonna ask you some simple questions, so. You better be honest. Is your name Tiana Mache Jacqueline Taylor? Yes. Were you born on December 10th? Yes. Are you about to take a lie detector test? I think so, yes. Are you nervous? Yes, I've never done this before. I'm not like, I'm not nervous about the questions or anything, I'm like, you know, it's just like. Okay. Yeah. We'll see. Oh, Lord. Well, I am nervous, but. Yeah. I'm more nervous about the accessories. Is she telling the truth? The machine has been calibrated. Okay. I believe she's been telling the truth. All right, you have a production company called The Antis. When you did Kysonat's live stream, did it make you feel more like an auntie? Yes. Did it make you feel that way because of your phone case? Oh, ----. Yes, they was coming down on my little wallet phone case. I felt old when I did it myself. But like, it works. It's a whole new world. Yes. Okay, do you still stand by your phone case? Yes, I stand 10 toes down on my phone case. I did just get an iPhone 17, so I've been currently looking for wallet phone cases for the 17. Okay, I was on his live stream. I opened up Mafiathon. Nice. Did you watch? I seen clips from it. I seen you pull up in the suit. Is she telling the truth? She is. Oh, cute. Okay, you publicly retired from music in 2020, but then you released your new album Escape Room in 2025. Does that make you a liar? No, not really, because I still took a five-year break. I was standing on business for five years. Do you think you'll publicly retire again? Probably not. But it depends, because you know how these labels get. For this album, you made a short film that starred this man. Are there any cons to working with your partner? Any cons? I think the only con is that I couldn't just take him down anywhere I wanted. Okay. Other than that, everything was pros and go's. Aaron is known as Mufasa. Have you ever called him that? In the bedroom. I'm just kidding. But not. I have not called him Mufasa in the bedroom. The machine is picking up some deception. Really? Yeah, just a little bit. Have you called him Mufasa anywhere else? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somewhere else, like when we made jokes, we'd be like, yeah, over here, that's Mufasa. But never in bed, only because I actually would feel cringed being like, yeah, Mufasa, moo moo, take me to Pride Ride. Yeah, so I never called him Mufasa in the bedroom. But yeah, we do make Mufasa jokes. You recently starred in Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another as a badass revolutionary. Have you ever gone to great lengths to fight for something you believed in? Absolutely. Was it your phone case? Absolutely. Can we ask you where you stand on some other really serious issues? Are mid-Jordans ever okay? Are mid-Jordans okay? It depends. What about black Air Force Ones? Black. You know what's crazy? Virgil's LV collab with the Air Forces, I do have the all black ones. So I guess I'm part of the black Air Force One crew. But you know what the black Air Force Ones are. Yeah. You see a motherfucking Air Force, black Air Force Ones, they about that. You know, so I think I'm a part of that crew. I believe you. I don't even have to ask if that's a lie. Your character is named Perfidia Beverly Hills. Do you think that name suits you? I mean, I think Perfidia Beverly Hills is a pretty iconic name. But if we're going based off of the actual song Perfidia and what Perfidia means, no, that name doesn't suit me. But outside of the song, I think Perfidia Beverly Hills is a fire ass name. Do you think it's similar to the names of Hollywood kids? Yeah. It depends on how you take Perfidia. You know, again, if we basing it off of like the real meaning of Perfidia, absolutely not. I would hope nobody would name their kid Perfidia if it stands for that. But I don't think I ever heard a kid name or even a celebrity kid named Perfidia Beverly Hills. Do you think people in Hollywood go too far for their kids' names to be unique? Sometimes, to a certain extent. But like to each his own, you know? I'm very like, you know what, if you like it, I love it. But it do make me laugh sometimes. Did I go too far? No, I think you got cute names. I love your kids' names. I love them. Was that? She is being truthful. Yes. You were featured on MTV's My Super Sweet 16, which was the show about lavish birthday parties for rich kids. Does that make you a nepo baby? I thought the nepo baby is like when the parents are celebrities, right? Yeah, or you were born into the genre of whatever you're. No, I was not born into it. I don't think I'm a nepo baby. So how did you get on the show? Because actually, when I was 15 years old, I had just got signed to Pharrell. Now, at a younger age, I always, I think as girls, we always want to have a great Sweet 16. So my mom was saving up for a dope Sweet 16 for me. But then I wound up getting signed to Pharrell's label when I was 15. So it was like perfect time. And they'd be like, yo, I want a birthday party. I want to do the Sweet 16. So it was kind of like an introduction. So yeah, it was like my mom and the label paid for my party. Like they really put it together for me. So I don't think that's like nepo baby. I think that's like, I had just got signed. Hopefully they didn't use my advance for that party. I don't think they did. You got a Range Rover as a birthday gift. Did you buy it yourself and act surprised? No, I actually asked for a bike and I was gifted a Range Rover, but I wanted a bike. Yeah. Is she telling the truth? She is being truthful. Of course she would. Would you say a Range Rover is a responsible gift for a 16 year old? I mean, I'm from New York. So I don't think a car is responsible for a 16 year old in Harlem. So I can really care less for that. Okay, you've done tribute performances for this person. Yes, Jan. This person and this person. Please rank all three strictly based on dancing ability. Well, I think it's unfair to have a girl with two guys. Because they be like doing back flips and all types of just extra ----. You know what I'm saying? Where like Jan is more on the sexier side, you know but she still hit you with the pop lock. You know what I'm saying? Like Jan is that girl and will forever be that girl. But I think like physicalities and stuff like men can do back flips and handstands and all types of stuff. So I would go Jan in her own lane. Cause it's women, we stand in our own lane. And then I think out of the guys, I would go Michael first and then Ursha baby, Ursha. Do you think you're a better dancer than anyone on this list? Absolutely not. Was she telling the truth? She's been telling the truth. Okay. I mean, these people inspire me. You know, I could never look at people that I look up to and be like, yeah, I could take them out. That's it for the questions. At any point during this test, did you lie and we didn't catch it? No, I didn't lie. That is the truth. What a cutie. Thank you. I don't know why I'm nervous about this. You know, this is not allowed in a court of law. I'm just putting that out there. Lie detector test. To calibrate the machine, I'm gonna ask you some straightforward questions. Please answer honestly. Okay. Is your full name Kimberly Noel Kardashian? Yes. Is she lying? She told the truth. So far, so good. Okay. Were you born in Los Angeles, California? Yes. Are you nervous? Kind of, actually. Stephanie, are we ready to go? Yes, we are. My heart is racing. I don't know why. Okay, so you passed the baby bar exam and have also graduated from the law office study program. Do you consider yourself a real lawyer now? Not yet, no. Do you give legal advice to any friends or family members? Yes. So if you had any legal advice to a young celebrity getting married this year, what would you tell them? Don't do it. I would say, YOLO. Like, it's fun. Really just age the both of us. Do it. I would say, it's not my life. Go for it. Do whatever makes you happy. I believe she's been telling the truth. Okay, okay, okay, okay. This one, I wanna settle this for once and for all, right? Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe's dress? No. It's the throne of the pictures. You didn't whoop her dress? No. So you're saying that it got to you, already whooped? I don't know how it got to me, but it's perfect now. Who fixed it? I don't know. So when you tried it on, what was the dress giving? You're gonna cost me like $10 million in insurance. Let's move on. Was I being truthful? All of it is true. Yay! Wait, why are you shocked? I'm not. On our show, All's Fair, you play a divorce lawyer who's getting a divorce. Did you pull from any personal experience when you were building your character? Yes. The inspiration was Laura Wasser, who is a two-time Kim K divorce attorney. I was channeling her. Like, I just- Okay, so you were inspired, okay. Yeah, I was inspired by my own divorce attorney. Do you think a Laura Grant would have made a good divorce lawyer for Kim Kardashian? Yes. Twice? Yes, three times. Three, period, three times. We love a Laura Grant, you guys. You and this person famously gave each other the hands on keeping up with the Kardashians. Now, be honest. Were you surprised to find out that Kourtney has hands? No. She's always had hands. It's been that way, like, our whole life. So as a lawyer, what type of assault would you classify that as? I mean, not assault with a deadly weapon. It's just her nails. She's a nail girl. Yeah. Were you a little afraid of her afterwards? No. Was I telling the truth? Do you think Kourtney could beat me? No way. During the fight, she accused you of thinking you're the only sister who works hard. Is that what you really think? Yes. No, not the only sister, no. So your siblings don't work as hard as you? Khloe does. Is it fair to say Kylie is the most business savvy of them all? I hate comparing sisters. We're all business savvy and we all work really hard. Clock that, and I already know you're telling the truth, so we don't even need to clock that. Speaking of family, were you offended when your daughter North said in an interview that her favorite meal of yours is cucumbers and salt? She said that? I don't make cucumbers and salt. That's her favorite meal. That's her favorite meal, okay. Maybe I chop it up for her. Okay. But that's not like a... Something that you make, it's not like you're... No, as a mom, you never get offended. Right. I think our kids humble us. Yeah, that could have been a lie. I might get offended. The machine is picking up on a little bit of deception here. Do you consider yourself a cool mom? Yes, they might not. Are you cooler than your kids? I hope so, but I don't think so. Is there... Okay, is there anything that your kids do that is corny to you? No. Do you think I'm a cool mom? Yes. You do? I do. Would you like me to give you a cool mom tip? Yes. Do you have the same phone case as me? No. I think the cool mom tip is you should get the same phone case as me. Wait, I need to see what the phone case is. I've been talking about it and I can't sit here and lie that I know what it is. It's very chic. She's leather. Okay. And she closes, keep you out of your business. But it holds your cards. I have like a picture of my kids. Yeah, it's like a little clear spot. So it's like in a clear slice. It's like my kids and the pictures. And then I have like just a few cards, not all of them, a few cards. I think that makes for a cool mom. Yeah. Do you think what I said is cool? Yeah, if it makes you happy. I wouldn't say it's like cool, but like... Oh, so you would say YOLO. Yeah. YOLO. Yeah. YOLO to the wallet case. That is crazy I said that. I think you should get one. Okay. Do you use chat GPT for life advice? No. Do you use it at all? Yes. What about dating advice? No. Do you consider chat GPT to be a friend? No. I use it for legal advice. So when I am needing to know the answer to a question, I'll take a picture and snap it and like put it in there. So you're cheating. They're always wrong. It has made me fail tests. Are you serious? All the time. And then I'll get mad and I'll like yell at it and be like, you made me fail. Why did you do this? So technically, you do consider it a friend. Yeah. So you consider it a friend, it's just... No, I don't consider it a friend. So she's a frenemy. Yes, a frenemy. But then I will talk to it and say, hey, you're gonna make me fail. How does that make you feel? That you need to really know these answers. I'm coming to you. And then it'll say back to me, this is just teaching you to trust your own instincts. You knew the answer all along. So she clocked you. So technically, you, a chat GPT, are friends, just toxic friends. Toxic friends, but they need to do better because I'm leaning to them to really help me. And she is teaching me a life lesson and then becoming my therapist to tell me why I need to believe in myself after they got the answer wrong. It's like a thing. I screenshot all the time and send it in my group chat. Like, can you believe this bitch is talking to me like this? This is insane. Is she telling the truth? All of it is true. Yes, that's my girl, that's my dog. Did you lie at any point during this interview that we didn't catch you? Maybe. The machine is picking up some deception. Where? I think it was about my phone case. I think you really think it's cool. Love you, girl. I got you, babe. Thank you.
