He says her breasts, butt and nose are natural, a claim he bases on what Kardashian told him during the 5 years they worked together on Citizen Kim.

Asked how he knew she’d never had invasive plastic surgery, Van Meter replied: “Because she told me, and I trusted her.”

He left the subject out of the biography, explaining: “I didn’t write about this because it became so weird and complicated, but Kim has never had invasive plastic surgery.”

Van Meter also recounted Kardashian’s story about 2 plastic surgeons who were friends with her family. Each believed the other had performed a nose job on her. He said Kardashian eventually offered to have an X-ray to show neither had operated on her nose.
