Check out what she had to say in her Variety interview below:

On the rumors that she was the reason KUWTK ended: “No. I think that we were all ready to move on to something else. I was not like, ‘This show is over!’ like people imagine. I kept saying for a few years, ‘It doesn’t have to be like this’ and ‘there’s a better way to do this.’ I felt bored a lot of times. Like, shaking salads all day and sipping tea, yeah, we still do that, but we have time for so many other things. What makes us happy and how do we want to use our time?”

On not being miserable while filming: “I’ve seen a lot of commentary about the Hulu trailer like, ‘Kourtney looks miserable already.’ The day we filmed that teaser, I was super sick. I was so sick for two days, like I should not have been out of bed. I’m not a good faker, so my face just looks like I’m sick. People are like, ‘I thought you never wanted to film again,’ but you know, I think having a year off and really being able to just — I know I say this all the time — but live our lives. I feel like our last show became a really toxic place for me. I wasn’t in my best place, not only just from filming, but on a lot of levels. So, I was really excited at the chance to do something new and fresh. I think that’s why it was important to me to have it be more documentary style. We were all excited to start a new relationship.”

On filming with Travis Barker and not having him be the center of her storyline: “I definitely hold my relationship really close. It’s so sacred to me and I am very protective of it. I think I’ve learned a lot of lessons. There is a lot of us on there, and we’ve had such a good time doing it because we have such a good time when we’re together, but I definitely want to protect it as much as I can. But also, this is my life.”

Did Travis have any reservations about filming?: “No, I think as long as we’re happy with it. He obviously has a full-time job and a full career, so it’s not his thing, but I think he’s happy to, and we have had so much fun while we’ve been filming certain things that we’re doing, so I’ll just invite the producers to come along.”
