Kim And Stephanie Go Their Separate Ways
Shepherd began working with Kim in 2013 and even became the Chief Operating Officer of Kardashian West Brands such as her collaboration with Kylie Cosmetics and her Kimoji products.

While in a confessional, Kim explained that Shepherd wanted a different role and they were both going in a different direction.

Who Does Stephanie Work For Now?
As for now, Shepherd has not revealed who she has decided to join forces with, but she seems to be doing just fine.
Kim's former assistant currently boasts 1 million followers on Instagram, where she posts pictures of herself vacationing around the world and hanging out with the likes of fashion designer Alexander Wang and Emily Ratajkowski.
Recently, Shepherd proved that it was all love between her and Kim when she took to Instagram to share a photo of Kim's latest fragrance Ride or Die from her Kimoji Hearts Fragrance Collection.
