12 Reasons Kris Jenner Is Turning Against Her Own Family
Just hearing the word "Momager" will bring one name to mind - Kris Jenner. She acts as Mom, Momager, Manager and Matriarch to the Kardashian-Jenner tribe. Her six children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Robert Kardashian, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner all enjoyed a typical LA family life growing up. Then in 2007, the family landed their very own TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and the rest has been showbiz history. Never short of drama, there have been 72 day marriages, bust ups, scandalous photo shoots and let's not forget where it all began too - with that video tape.
Now at 60-years-old, Kris Jenner has finally reached a boiling point and told her family to "f**k off" during the season premiere for season 12 of KUWTK. Now everyone is wondering what finally managed to send Kris over the edge. It's going to be a few months until we get a look at what is really going on during this new season. For now though we will take a look at the potential reasons Kris has finally decided to turn her back on the family.
12 She Is Breaking Down Over Their Personal Arguments
During the season 12 premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kris Jenner was seen breaking down over an argument between her ex-husband, now Caitlyn Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian. Kris listened to her daughter appear distressed on the phone as she detailed the "insane, aggressive text messages" she had received from Caitlyn. The argument stemmed from when Khloe believed Caitlyn had "slaughtered" Kris's name during at interview with Vanity Fair.
Kris then speaks with Caitlyn and pleads with her to understand why Khloe would be upset explaining, "You were her dad since she was five years old. Like, give her a break!" The entire bust up ended with Kris breaking down on camera as she cried, "Being a mom can be so difficult when you have to protect your kids and look out for what's best for them" before adding it was all "so overwhelming I just want to break down".
This was just another drama Kris Jenner has had to endure in the war against her own family…
11 She Has To Deal With All The Drama Behind The Scenes
Not only does Kris have to help her family in the spotlight, she also has to deal with all the drama behind the scenes - and there is plenty. Just a few days ago, Rob Kardashian's Calabasas, California, home was burgled. The Los Angeles Police Department told People magazine, "From Friday at 9 a.m. and Sunday at 2 a.m, property taken was a large sum of cash and jewelry." Rob was staying at the Tarzana home of his fiancee Blac Chyna as they were spending time with her 3-year-old son King Cairo.
Kris has now picked up the pieces once again and has made room in her own home for Rob, Blac Chyna and Cairo to move in. A source exclusively told HollywoodLife.com, "Her heart jumped out her body when she heard (about) this. She's crazy protective over Rob and as a mother she always fears the worse outcome possible. She knows Rob's not leaving Blac's side because he wants to protect her. And Kris wants to protect her son, which is why she has offered them to live at her house until the police get to the bottom of this robbery. It's the least Kris can do."
10 She Can't Stand Their Choice Of Partners
Kanye West is now officially back in Kris's good books, perhaps because their marriage is the real deal compared to Kim's disastrous 72-day attempt with Kris Humphries (one man Kris could never really stand). Before Kanye, she constantly threw shade at Scott Disick who was constantly rumoured to be cheating on Kourtney in nightclubs. In an episode of KUWTK she told her daughter, "I want you to be happy. I know that if I was pregnant and I was waiting for my boyfriend to come in and he was out to all hours of the night, I would tell him to hit the road Jack."
Then Khloe married Lamar Odom in 2009 after just one month of dating - despite the fact he had a bad history of being unfaithful. The couple spent most of last year apart until Odom was found unconscious at the Love Ranch, a brothel in Crystal, Nevada. Khloe supported him as he was in a coma and placed on life support for a few days. They called off the pending divorce after the incident but they have now separated again and currently live apart.
Tyga, who is currently loved up with girlfriend Kylie, also felt the wrath of Kris when he presented her daughter with a $320,000 Ferrari as a birthday present. According to Radar Online, Kris believes the rapper is using her daughter for cash and this only fuelled speculation further when they found out the Ferrari was actually leased in Kylie's name and she also put up half of the down payment.
Kris probably lies awake at night wondering where all the good men have gone.
9 She Believes They Are All Hypocrites
In the latest season premier, Kim and Khloe start to demand that Kris drops Rob and stops paying for his house. Kim tells her, "You should not be paying for your son who is almost 30 to buy a house" before Khloe adds, "Drop him. Cut the cord."
Kris then flipped out and responded, "All of you can f*** off and think of something else to talk about. I've seen you guys through so much s*** that I have to f***ing put up with." She then turned on Kim before snapping, "'I'm married for 72 days.' Really? That was normal. I mean the s*** that we've all gone through? You guys can do anything you want and it's OK and I'm supposed to accept it all.
It is fair to say that they were greeted by silence around the table. Except for the sound of Kris breathing fire.
8 She Is Sick Of Being Called A "Style Stealer"
When Kris stepped out at the Met Gala this year, she went against how she normally appears at other public appearances with her daughters and didn't appear all "matchy-matchy". Everyone else was wearing floor length silver, glittering gowns whereas Kris opted for all black. This might have something to do with her patience finally wearing thin over being labelled a "style stealer".
Enough was enough and she finally outed her daughters on Instagram for constantly raiding her wardrobe when she's out of town. Some of the outfits they stole from her were throwbacks all the way to the 1980s. Style stealer? More like trendsetter.
7 She Is Sick Of Being Called A Bad Mother
No woman ever wants to hear she is a bad mother but the bitter truth for Kris is everyone is happy to tell her just that. Despite establishing careers for all five of her daughters by turning them into multimillionaires, people still aren't happy with how she runs her family. Not only does Kris have to worry about being attacked by the press - even her own daughters are now calling her out as a bad mother.
In season 11 of KUWTK which aired last year, Kim screamed at Kris when she found out Lamar Odom had got Khloe's phone number from her mother and she didn't even ask for permission. Kim told Kris, "That is so wrong and that's being a bad mother. It's the truth and the truth hurts." Kris told the camera during a confessional, "Kim can be super aggressive and super harsh. She is way out of line to speak to me like this I would never do anything to intentionally upset my kids."
6 She Feels The Family Business Is Ruining Her Love Life
Kris has been dating her toyboy lover, 35-year-old Corey Gamble, since late 2014. Yet instead of enjoying their time together, once again her relationship is linked to the family business. Page Six reported, "Corey's given a stipend (by Kris) to help look after her kids and make sure they are OK when they go out. He's essentially an employee." However he's not financially subsidised for his services as a source told them, "They are in a real relationship and there is no compensation that keeps him around."
It is only going to be a matter time until Gamble has had enough of the demanding Kardashian-Jenner lifestyle and he will want to slip into the slow lane. Will Kris retire early and finally be able to enjoy chill time with her new beau? Hopefully it's a yes - before his patience runs out.
5 She Is Getting Too Old For This S**t
Kris Jenner is now 60-years-old, the first episode of KUWTK aired in 2007 and over 160 episodes later the filming schedules are proving exhausting. Close family friend and Kim's BFF told British TV host Lorraine Kelly that shooting the episodes usually lasts around 16 hours a day. He claimed, "It's 22/7. We film 16 hours a day everyday. People don't understand that it's exhausting. You have to be on it and be funny."
It also took Kris five years to get Kim, Kourtney and Khloe recognized worldwide and finally hit A-Lister status, if she has to spend the same time with Kendall and Kylie working on their careers then she will be approaching 70-years-old by the time she's finished. Considering the average retirement age is 62-years-old in U.S, it might only be a matter of time before Kris finally throws in the towel for good.
4 She Can't Deal With How Open They Are Anymore
Kris has pretty much had enough of her daughter's brazen attitude, especially now they are taking things too far just to be talked about. For example, Kim's 2014 "Break The Internet" photo shoot with Paper magazine in 2014 appeared as if Kris was the force behind it - but she never asked Kim to bare her butt. During a conference in Los Angeles, she told host Maria Shriver that she found the shoot "cringeworthy". She claimed, "Like Kim did the picture with the (champagne cup) on the booty, and I was like, "Where did this come from?" I thought it was Photoshopped for a second."
Most recently Kris lost it with Kim at dinner when she opened up about just how close her and family friend Larsa Pippen really are. In a teaser from the latest season of KUWTK, Kim announced, "I just showed Larsa my vagina, and she thinks it looks gorgeous and perfect after a baby. We're very good friends." Then, despite the shocked expressions on everyone's face, she added, "I was sitting on the toilet and I just took a mirror, and I said,"Stand here and look in the mirror.'" That was enough for Kris who complained, "You weren't raised like this! I can't even eat my dinner now." Proving she has finally lost all control over her own daughters.
3 She Can't Keep Them Together Anymore
Kris puts family first before anything else - she just wishes everyone else would do the same. Recently Kourtney flew into a rage when Scott went AWOL and then she found out he was out partying with Tyga, Kylie's boyfriend. She ranted, "It pi**es me off that people like Tyga who should know better, that are close to our family, don't just find some other friends." Then there is the fact that Tyga's ex-fiancee and baby mama, Blac Chyna, is now dating Rob Kardashian which has caused many rifts in the camp.
When Rob and Blac first started dating, Khloe threw him out of her house where he had been staying for some time. Not to mention that Kendall is also not Rob's biggest fan after she found out the iPad she gave him as a gift had actually been re-gifted to Blac. She rang him demanding he returns the gift to her. In the latest KUWTK, Kim and Khloe both gang up on Kris pleading with her to "cut the cord". Right now there's just no fight left in her to try and keep this family together.
2 She Is Not The Same Woman She Used To Be
Kris Jenner is no longer the wife to Bruce Jenner, after they split he became Caitlyn Jenner and moved out of their shared home together. She is also no longer a mother to young girls (Kendall and Kylie were both under 10-years-old when they first started filming) but now matriarch to five fame hungry, grown women.
She is now worth a reported $20 million and growing. At first, nobody took Kris seriously believing her family were overnight celebrities. With the next generation becoming just as famous, North West and Penelope Disick have the paparazzi following them everywhere, she has proven that she's no one trick pony. Brands that once dismissed them (Balmain dressed the whole family for the Met Gala and Vogue has featured members of the family on their front cover) are now falling at their feet just to get a mention on their Instagram.
1 She Isn't Appreciated Enough
During a 2014 interview with the Editoralist, Kris was not happy when Kim attempted to take all the credit for her work. Kim claimed, "It's so funny, because I'll hear stories like, "Kris Jenner is the puppet master, having all of her kids do this and that," and I'm like, "If they only knew." I'm the one that will be like, "Kylie, do this. Kendall, you should do this.'"
Kris still gets a lot of grief from her family despite the honest truth being that they would be nowhere without her in the driving seat. She has established careers for each of her daughters, creating an empire with a $300 million net worth between them all. She is the executive producer on KUWTK and manages all the publicity deals to make sure her daughters land the highest fee. And what thanks does she get for all this? More bickering. It's about time her family should learn to appreciate her more - or she will be gone.
