Kendall Jennerjust can’t seem to shake her infamous cucumber faux pas.
The 818 founder, who coversWSJ. Magazine’s Summer Digital issue, opened up to the outlet about the viral moment from a May 2022 episode ofThe Kardashiansin which fans called her out for uncomfortably cutting a cucumber.
“Let me just say I successfully cut ‘The Cucumber,’” she toldWSJ. “So if anyone says I cannot cut cucumber, I physically cut the cucumber and I did it tastefully. I didn’t hurt anybody. So I can cut cucumbers.”

The reality star went on to share that she actually spends quite a bit of time in the kitchen, cooking family-favorite dishes — like rice pilaf with herbed chicken and vegetables — for friends.
The cucumber incident was captured in a season 2 episode ofThe Kardashianswhen Kendall was in her mother Kris Jenner’s kitchenattempting to slice a cucumberto make herself a snack, after denying her mother’s offer to have her chef help.
“I’m making it myself,” she responded. “Just gotta chop up some cucumber, it’s pretty easy.”
“You go girl,” her mom said.

Kendall then proceeded to cut the cucumber, though she didn’t seem particularly comfortable doing so. At one point, she had her arms crossed over one another while she held the knife in one hand and the end of the cucumber with the other.
“Be careful, because I nicked myself the other day,” Kris warned as her daughter continued to struggle with the knife.
“I know, I’m kinda scared,” Kendall responded.
She then looked up at the camera and admitted her fault. “I’m definitely not a good cutter, so don’t zoom in on me,” she said. “I’m not professional whatsoever.”
