Earlier this month, the reality star was ridiculed on social media for not being able to chop a vegetable properly, which she confessed in an episode of The Kardashians.

In the clip, Kendall came to meet her momager, Kris Jenner, after which the 26-year-old decided to make herself a snack.

Interestingly, the awkward way she held a knife to cut a cucumber left everyone in stitches. Her clip garnered millions of views on social media.
