Why Did Kim Kardashian Fire Her Longtime Assistant Stephanie Shepherd?
Perhaps her former employer Erika Girardi has some tea?

The Kardashian inner circle got a little smaller earlier this fall when it was reported that Kim Kardashian had let her assistant Stephanie Shepherd go.
The official reason for Shepherd's firing has not yet been revealed, but a shady post in Shepherd's Instagram story, coupled with a shocking off-handed remark from Kardashian definitely has us more curious than ever about what caused the fallout between these two. But then again, there's always the chance that this just might remain one of those Kardashian happenings that's shrouded in mystery, like a couple of still-yet-to-be-confirmed pregnancies.
Luckily, Shepherd's former employer Erika Girardi was in the Clubhouse during Tuesday night's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and one caller asked if she had any tea to spill on the firing that has sent shockwaves throughout the world of the Kardashians and all those who keep up with them. We mean, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills songstress must be fairly tight with this famous family, having earned her very own avatar in the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood mobile game, after all. See what Erika had to say about her "dear friend" Stephanie during the WWHL After Show in the video, above.
Watch Kim K herself spill some major tea of her own, below.
