How Kourtney & Kim Kardashian’s kids Penelope, 9, & North, 8, sidestep TikTok’s age policy & have millions of followers
KOURTNEY Kardashian and sister Kim’s daughters – Penelope and North, respectively – have become the queens of TikTok after just a few days.
With the help of their moms, the tweens have taken over the platform with videos giving an insider’s look their at-home lives with their famous family.
Penelope, nine, joined TikTok first, making a secret account under the username @blah445087, with just a bio that said: “Kourtney-Penelope, account managed by an adult.”
Though there were videos that dated back to mid-October, it wasn’t discovered by the general public until a few weeks later.
Last Monday, Kourtney’s daughter’s account was banned “due to multiple Community Guidelines violations.”
Though further details on the suspension were not revealed, one of the site’s policies requires its users to be at least 13 years old, which Penelope is not.
Despite the rule, the account was back up and running soon after, with a new name, pandkourt, and an extended bio: “Account managed by an adult. Can we get to 2 mil please Thank you guys so much”
The page needs another update, though, as Penelope has surpassed her goal and currently sits at 2.1million followers.

She also has a total of 20.1million likes across her dozens of videos.
Parents Kourtney, along with her fiancé Travis Barker, and Scott Disick have both helped boost their daughter’s TikTok by appearing in videos with her.
After seeing the success of her cousin’s page, Kim’s daughter North, eight, started her own account and started posting with her famous mom on Thanksgiving.
Despite the website’s age policy, both Penelope and North are not only active members on the platform but always ones who are thriving on it.
TIKTOK STARS
Though Kardashian fans have only known about the accounts for a short while, each boasts millions of followers.
North’s page goes under the username kimandnorth and already has 1.8million followers and 11million video likes.
Her account has also already been verified with a blue checkmark, while Penelope’s has not.
“Me and my bestie,” the bio reads, along with a kissy-lips emoji. “Account managed by an adult.”
While Penelope and North have millions of followers and fans are happy to get more glimpses of their and their famous parents’ lives, not everyone’s happy with every video’s content.
PDA CHAOS
Previously, Kourtney and Travis joined Penelope TikTok, and social media users slammed the couple for turning an innocent video with Penelope into a "PG 13" clip with their PDA.
In the footage, the trio spun around in circles while the song Helicopter played in the background.
They laughed as they whipped round and round until Kourtney and her man paused for an intimate hug.
Before the video cut off, Travis could be seen grabbing his fiancée and trapping her in an embrace as Penelope continued spinning.
The youngster then whirled around and caught the couple nuzzling each other's necks.
'AWKWARD'
Fans were disturbed by the ending and slammed the pair for their incessant PDA, with one asking: "Why did they just randomly start hugging?"
"It was so awkward at the end," another ranted.
As for Kim, she was blasted for appearing to promote her company Skims on her daughter North's TikTok account.
North shared two videos of new merchandise from her mom's loungewear line, showing off furry grey slippers and glittery orange designs.
