Not only did Prince kick Kim Kardashian off his stage at a concert — he also got the Kardashians cut from a TV show he appeared on.

Zooey Deschanel, who plays Jessica Day on Fox's hit sitcom New Girl, recently appeared on Conan and explained that Prince reached out to her asking to guest star on the show.

Deschanel recalled that the series invited Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian to appear in the episode for a cameo appearance at a celebrity-studded party.

But someone in Prince’s camp made a comment that she “hoped it wasn’t a Kardashian” which immediately prompted a burning of all paperwork and scripts that mentioned the K-words.

“I felt so bad because obviously everyone had gone out of their way to be there on that day,” Deschanel said. “But Prince was running the show.”
