It's no secret that Kris Jenner is very hands on when it comes to her kids' careers.

But does the momager overdo it as a manager and forsake her role as a mom when doing business with the Kardashian kids? In an OWN special airing Sunday, Oprah Winfrey sat down with Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian , Khloé Kardashian Odom and Rob Kardashian and asked what they thought about claims their mom was "pimping her children."

"I think that's so ridiculous," Kim said. "First of all, we have to hire a manager. So regardless, someone is going to get that [job].

"No one will fight harder for you than your own mother," she added. "She knows us. She knows all of our moods…We just get each other. We vibe. It works."

The OWN mogul then moved on to another touchy topic: Would the Kardashians would be running an empire and enjoying the success they have today if they weren't "good-looking kids?"

"Well," Rob started, pointing to his three older sisters. "They're not, like, skinny women." (Khloé, of course, put her little bro in check, asking, "Who are you?" and sarcastically telling him, "You're so sweet.")

"I mean in today's society, yeah, to be honest, probably not," Lamar Odom's lovely wife answered. "You have to have this bombshell over here [Kim] and this petite little bundle of joy [Kourtney] and this hunk next to me [Rob]." (For the record, Khloé, you majorly factor into that gorgeousness equation!)

"But we are all different," Kourtney added. "We have different body types."

"But I don't think [our success] would've happened if we were all like skinny, pretty models," Kim reasoned. "I think it has to do with us, the curves, the dark hair!"

She also thinks that the sisters "helped broaden" the representation of Middle-Eastern women in mainstream media, giving them a niche role as they rose to fame.

The new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on E!
