Kourtney Kardashian now claims she does let kids eat chips as she defends parenting

Kourtney Kardashian has now said she does allow her children to eat french fries after previously claiming otherwise.

The reality star shares children Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and Reign, seven with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick.

Earlier this week, Kourtney said she refuses to allow her 12-year-old son Mason to eat French fries.

She received a lot of backlash from fans on social media, with some calling the habit 'dangerous'.

And now, the 43-year-old has taken to her Instagram Stories to 'clear things up'.

Kourtney shared a snippet of her interview with Vogue, where she says her family loves eating French fries.

"It wasn’t Mason," she said about the claims. "I want to clear that up here, with you. It was Reign, my 7-year-old.

"We make French fries at home. I was talking with Travis today and I was like, ‘This is so annoying; this is why I don’t like doing interviews.’

"Other outlets then twist it and make it into something else. We’re a French fry–loving family, to clear that up. We love French fries; we go to restaurants that have fries."

She added: "Just McDonald’s specifically. I love to avoid fast food when we can."

In an interview with WSJ Magazine, Kourtney spoke about her children's eating habits.

The Hulu star, who recently launched her latest brand 'Lemme', which produces all-natural supplemental gummies, discussed how she 'deprives' her kids of certain foods after eating crisps and Lunchables throughout her childhood.

"Today I was having my one-on-one time with my son [Mason] and he said, 'Mom, I need McDonald's French fries today, please. It's been a year since I've had it,'" she said. "I was like, 'Today's not the day, sorry.'"

Fans on Twitter were less than impressed, meanwhile, with one writing: "Her kids are probably gonna develop disordered eating habits and I feel really bad for them."

Another commented: "This is so unhealthy and dangerous to her kids. Clean eating doesn't even mean anything. It's a made up term to sell cleanses."

A third added: "Kourtney K just did this whole interview about clean eating and refusing her son Mason McDonald's fries after a year w/out. This is the same woman who had her placenta made into vitamins and took them all."

And a fourth said: "What's going to happen because Kourtney denies Mason having McDonald's French fries he's going to become as well as the rest of her kids a [McDonald's] addict. Too strict reverses everything you are trying to accomplish. Stupid move. Give in once in a while Kourtney."
