Kim Kardashian wanted Pete Davidson to know what he was signing for before dating

At the beginning of dating, Kim Kardashian made sure Pete Davidson understood fully what he was agreeing to.

The creator of SKIMS spoke candidly about having the former cast member of Saturday Night Live appear on The Kardashians while they were still dating on Thursday's episode of the reality series.

Kim, 42, brought up the subject when talking to Scott Disick and Khloé Kardashian about the criticism they faced from the media for not being more transparent and vulnerable about their lives on screen.

Reading an article audibly, Kim shared, "Then it said, 'The rapper — now known as Ye, Kim's ex-husband [Kanye West] — is [a] non-presence.' OK, what do you want me to do? If I don't talk to him, what am I gonna do? Send a camera?"

“It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that my ex didn’t want to be on a reality show," she elucidated, before adding in a confessional: "You can't film with someone that's not a cast member, that doesn't have aspirations of being on a reality show. Bottom line. I talk about him, I will definitely talk about my co-parenting struggles — but from my point of view."

Back in the chat with her sister and Scott, Kim brought up how challenging it may be to begin a new relationship while in the public glare.

"Even in the dating conversation, once there's a story about you, you start to believe the hype that you're together and [it's like], 'Oh my God, and this hot-and-heavy, and it's everywhere and everyone thinks you're practically getting married in a week,'" Kim described.

"It's hard when you start dating someone and you're on a reality show, so Pete and I had that conversation right away," she continued. "You obviously know what you're getting yourself into. But then the fans were like, 'Pete's not on the show!' and I was like, 'We said that from the start, it's not what he does.' Then I opened up, then I had him on the show. I talked about every last thing, what else do you want?"

Kim added in a confessional: "I'm not gonna meet someone and be like, 'Pause! Before we really get to a place, will you be on my show?' And he was still on, guys! He was on at what level he was comfortable with."

Khloé, 38, agreed with her sister, suggesting, "If I'm newly dating someone, I'm not gonna have them on the show ... that's weird."
