May 29, 2015

Kris Jenner is the mastermind behind the Kardashian-Jenner family’s success. The family, with the exception of Kim, was totally unknown when the family’s reality TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” first premiered. Now, they are everywhere. It is hard to pick up a magazine or turn on the TV without seeing them. Part the reason for this is they will do anything for fame. There is no product they won’t endorse and there is nothing that they won’t do to increase ratings for their show. The entire family is involved in this, but they learned this type of behavior from Kris. She has practically sold her soul for fame and we have the evidence to prove it – check it out!

Kim Kardashian’s Playboy Shoot

According to Kim Kardashian, she didn’t really want to pose for Playboy, but her mother pushed her do it. She claims that her mother said: “They might never ask you again. Our show isn’t on the air yet. No one knows who you are. Do it and you’ll have these beautiful pictures to look at when you’re my age.”

Her Treatment of Bruce

The momager’s love of fame reportedly destroyed her marriage to Bruce Jenner. They had been the best of friends through a large part of their marriage; however, things between them really began to deteriorate when they landed the reality TV show. As time went on, it was clear that all wasn’t well between them. She was always criticizing his clothes, his hair and his hobbies and seemed more interested in securing ratings for their show than in being a loving wife. It was telling when the end of their marriage was featured the family’s show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Kris will obviously do anything for ratings.

Nude Photo Shoot

Kris Jenner went practically nude for a photo shoot a year ago. She wore a white tank dress that was practically transparent, which totally horrified her daughters. As always, they responded to the situation by making fun of her. “Why are your t*ts out? That’s so embarrassing for your life and for your soul,” Kourtney said. Kris told Kourtney and Khloe that she wanted to show them that “being 50 you don’t have to curl up and disappear, you can feel vibrant and sexy at any age,” but she could done this without exposing her breasts. She obviously wanted to put on a show.

She Competes with Her Daughters

Kris Jenner has always thought of herself as more of a sister than a mother to her daughters, so it shouldn’t come as too big a shock that she likes to compete with them like a sister would. She seems especially competitive with Kim. Back in 2014, Kris posted a picture of herself laying out in a red bikini on Instagram the day after Kim had posted a body selfie that she took while vacationing in Punta Mita, Mexco. This wasn’t the first time the momager showed her competitive streak. Just like her daughters, she posts pictures where she shows off her cleavage and she’s even attended a pole dancing class alongside her daughter Kim. It turns out that Kris can work a stripper pole almost as well as a stripper.
