00:00 Kris Jenner, who's portrayed as both ambitious and controlling in the first episode of The
00:05 House of Kardashian, is seen as the driving force behind her family's rise to fame.
00:11 Her ambition reportedly grew during her marriage to Robert Kardashian Sr. and according to
00:16 Robert's cousin Joan Aghajanian Quinn, Kris desired to be a mother but wasn't content
00:23 with being a housewife.
00:25 The shift towards fame and fortune came after her divorce from Robert and her relationship
00:30 with Bruce Jenner, now known as Caitlyn Jenner.
00:40 And post-divorce, Kris played a pivotal role in revitalizing Caitlyn's public speaking
00:46 career, urging her to part ways with her manager and take charge of negotiations.
00:52 Described as charming yet tough in business dealings, Kris skillfully secured lucrative
00:58 deals for Caitlyn Jenner.
01:03 And despite controlling their finances, Caitlyn appreciated the business dynamics of their
01:09 relationship where Kris's savvy complimented Caitlyn's name recognition.
01:18 Their collaboration proved to be very successful and created a strong business team as well
01:28 as helped to reinforce their romantic relationship.
01:31 There have also been several reports about the awareness of Caitlyn Jenner's gender dysphoria
01:36 within the Kardashian family, particularly with Kris Jenner.
01:42 Kris has asserted that she wasn't fully informed about Caitlyn's secret life, but
01:48 Caitlyn contradicted this during the House of Kardashian series, revealing that Kris
01:54 knew about her gender dysphoria before their marriage.
01:57 And Caitlyn described a brief conversation about her situation, emphasizing that she
02:02 had moved on from that phase.
02:05 There were some sources close to Kris that countered Caitlyn Jenner's claims, stating
02:10 that Kris learned about Caitlyn's decision to transition from E! executives and not Caitlyn
02:16 directly.
02:17 However, previous statements by Kris suggest knowledge of Caitlyn experimenting with gender-affirming
02:23 medication.
02:24 Then, their daughter, Kendall Jenner, in contradiction to her mother's stance, asserted in 2016
02:30 that Kris was fully aware of Caitlyn's gender dysphoria by their third date.
02:36 And Kendall also mentioned instances where the family had caught Caitlyn wearing women's
02:42 clothing.
02:43 Also, contrary to Kim Kardashian's previous assertion that her tape with her ex, Ray J,
02:48 was leaked without consent, revelations in House of Kardashian challenge this narrative.
02:53 David Weintraub, who is Ray J's manager and a former friend of the Kardashian family,
02:59 he accused Kim and Ray J of intentionally releasing the tape to boost their careers.
03:05 Weintraub claimed that Kim informed Kris, her mom, of their plan before its release,
03:10 suggesting it could elevate the family and their business.
03:15 Kim wanted Kris to handle negotiations to protect their interests, and the Girls Gone
03:20 Wild founder, Joe Francis, who collaborated with Kim and Ray J on marketing the tape,
03:27 echoed similar claims.
03:28 Francis claimed that the tape wasn't just about recording it.
03:33 Instead, it aimed to create controversy for publicity.
03:37 He contested the idea that the tape was leaked, and he asserts that Kim and Ray J, as consenting
03:43 people, released it deliberately.
03:45 However, Francis did deny Kris' involvement in the initial planning of doing this.
03:51 There is also some information about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's love story.
03:56 It actually traces back to around 2012, when Kanye West openly expressed his affection
04:01 for Kim in his song "Cold."
04:03 However, according to Kanye West's associate Malik Youssef, their romantic connection began
04:08 even earlier than that.
04:11 Despite Kanye West's initial interest sparked by Kim's past, Youssef portrayed a more sentimental
04:18 side and highlighted Kanye West's admiration for Kim as his "dream girl" and recalled
04:25 a moment when they shared a kiss.
04:28 Youssef also claimed that Kim distanced herself from Kanye after his controversial remarks
04:33 about President George Bush back in 2005, where Kanye West asserted that George Bush
04:40 didn't care about black people following Hurricane Katrina.
04:44 And according to Youssef, Kim expressed her love for Kanye West but couldn't be with
04:48 him at the time due to the potential repercussions on her reality show empire.
04:55 So they temporarily went their separate ways from there, but ended up getting married several
05:00 years later.
05:01 And the last big secret that the House of Kardashians shared is about editor Jessica
05:07 Dufino, who worked on the family's subscription-based apps from 2015 to 2019, actually expressed
05:14 conflicting feelings about creating content for the Kardashian-Jenner family.
05:20 She realized that the standards that they promoted were unrealistic and unattainable,
05:26 even for themselves.
05:28 Dufino specifically pointed out Kylie's lack of transparency about her lips, noting
05:33 that they are the result of injectable lip fillers.
05:37 And this isn't the first time the Kardashian-Jenners have faced accusations of promoting unrealistic
05:42 beauty standards.
05:44 And Kylie even went on to acknowledge her family's influence, and she recently emphasized
05:49 on their show The Kardashians the need for a larger conversation about the beauty standards
05:54 that they set, and she expressed a desire for more positive impact.
05:59 Firstly, this scandal is crazy.
06:01 Kim Kardashian was investigated by the FBI after getting $250,000 delivered in a trash
06:08 bag.
06:09 The FBI grilled Kim Kardashian as part of one of the biggest trials Hollywood has ever
06:15 seen.
06:16 According to a March 2023 Bloomberg Businessweek report, Kim Kardashian was questioned by
06:21 the Feds as part of an investigation into a Malaysian man named Jau Low from Malaysia.
06:28 You know that man, Jau Low, who was involved in a massive embezzlement scandal?
06:33 In 2019, Kim told the FBI that she played Baccarat in a Las Vegas casino with Low and
06:39 some other secret scandalous people.
06:41 And guess what?
06:42 Kim won big!
06:43 Obviously, $250,000 big.
06:46 And when Kim went to cash out, the casino actually handed her a quarter of a million
06:51 dollars in a trash bag full of $100 bills.
07:02 According to the FBI, Kim put the trash bag full of cash into her carry-on bag and boarded
07:08 a Southwest Airlines flight right back to LA.
07:11 Imagine being the security person at that airport, seeing $2,500 bills going through
07:18 that x-ray, yeah, in a trash bag.
07:21 So some eyebrows were raised after that Vegas trip, to say the least.
07:25 The next scandal is one for the ages.
07:27 Kris Jenner allegedly mistreated all of her staff on her now-cancelled talk show.
07:38 In 2013, the Kardashian mama herself got a shot at her own major network talk show.
07:44 The show was called "Kris" and it aired on Fox.
07:47 But the reason you haven't heard of it is because it lasted just about six weeks.
07:51 See, the show had a hard time gaining viewers, and Fox was like, "Uh, you're done, Kris."
07:57 Later on, a big-shot Fox employee would comment on the cancelling of her show, claiming that
08:02 Jenner's performance was just pretty uninteresting.
08:05 But what not many people know is that behind the scenes, Kris Jenner was a nightmare to
08:10 work with.
08:11 An anonymous source that worked on the behind-the-scenes crew claimed that working with Kris was borderline
08:16 unbearable.
08:18 She would show up on set hungover and demand her beauty team to fix her up and make her
08:22 look stunning.
08:23 Wow.
08:24 Imagine having the luxury of a beauty team to fix you up when you wake up hungover on
08:27 a Sunday morning?
08:28 I wish.
08:29 Instead, I have a bathroom mirror that reminds me of my regrets from the prior night.
08:35 Anyways, Kris would later take on Twitter to claim that all of the rumors flying around
08:39 her show were false.
08:40 The next scandal that she and the rest of the family had to deal with was Kendall Jenner
08:44 allegedly hooked up with Justin Bieber, who later married her best friend, God.
08:50 That's right, Kendall Jenner usually keeps her romantic life far away from keeping up.
08:55 But when you slay as hard as Kendall, not everything stays private.
08:59 In fact, Kendall's long-time bestie, Hailey Bieber, occasionally drops by and makes an
09:03 appearance on the show.
09:04 And while their close friendship is well known, one thing that's not talked about on camera
09:09 is the gossip that Kendall and Justin Bieber may have had a fling between 2014 and 2015.
09:15 Juicy.
09:16 Justin seemed to actually confirm those rumors, saying that him and Kendall briefly dated
09:20 in 2015, but stated it was never serious.
09:24 During a YouTube video that Kendall and Hailey filmed at some point recently, they were doing
09:28 a Q&A where they were actually asked if they had ever kissed the same person, and a little
09:33 laugh attack ensued.
09:39 The next piece of juicy, scandalous gossip was the time when Kris Jenner allegedly paid
09:43 off an ex-boyfriend who claimed that she cheated on Caitlyn Jenner.
09:48 In her 2013 memoir, Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian, Kris admitted to having an affair
09:53 while she was married to her first husband, Robert.
09:56 However, it's been suggested that Kris Jenner didn't share the full story of her infidelity,
10:00 and actually paid off her ex-husband to keep him from talking.
10:03 The man she had the affair with was later identified as Todd Waterman.
10:07 Todd himself claimed that the affair continued well into Jenner's relationship with her second
10:11 husband, Bruce.
10:13 Waterman even appeared on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians as a way to legally
10:18 prevent him from talking about the affair.
10:21 It was reported that Waterman was paid somewhere between $15,000 to $20,000 for his brief appearance
10:26 on the show.
10:27 Well, Mr. Waterman, that seems a little shady now, doesn't it?
10:31 And by the way, Caitlyn Jenner, Bruce Jenner, same person, as we know.
10:35 The Kardashians have also now been accused of using sweatshops to create their products.
10:41 In 2011, all the Kardashians were involved in a sweatshop investigation, where some Kardashian-branded
10:47 products were accused of being made in foreign factories with just horrendous work conditions.
10:52 The brands under scrutiny included the K-Dash by Kardashian label, the Kris Jenner collection,
10:58 and Shoe Dazzle, which Kim endorses.
11:00 The family rep at the time claimed the Kardashians take this situation very seriously, and have
11:05 since been assured by all of their manufacturers that the factories are policed regularly.
11:10 They added that if there is any evidence of an illegal operation, then they will stop
11:14 immediately working with that manufacturer.
11:17 The next piece of scandal comes from Kylie Jenner lying about getting lip fillers.
11:23 Before Kylie founded her billion dollar enterprise, Kylie Cosmetics, through the sales of her
11:27 famous lip kits, she was caught trying to downplay her cosmetic procedures.
11:31 In 2015, fans noticed Kylie's lips slowly enlarging over the course of a year.
11:37 Kylie spent months repeatedly denying and evading questions about her lips, before eventually
11:42 admitting to the procedure on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
11:46 So girl, if you're feeling those lips, at least let us know where, cause I could use
11:50 a little bump.
11:51 Oh Kylie Cosmetics you say?
11:53 Okay girl, I'll keep that in mind.
11:54 But you better not be lying to me.
11:56 The next piece of scandal comes from Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian's once husband,
12:01 claiming that Keeping Up With The Kardashians is in fact staged.
12:05 See we all know that reality TV is a little too good to be true sometimes.
12:10 And after their 72 day marriage fell apart, former NBA player Kris Humphries hasn't held
12:15 back his dislike for his ex-wife's family and their reality show alike.
12:20 Even though he appeared on the show, sources close to Humphries say he now insists that
12:23 the reality show is completely fake.
12:25 A source close to Kris claims that Kris says that Kim's reality shows are a total sham.
12:31 He doesn't think there's anything real about the shows at all.
12:34 And apparently, not to break your hearts, but that famous scene where Kim loses her
12:39 earrings in the ocean, yeah, fake.
12:41 Kris claims that Kim was crying hysterically, but then miraculously one of her younger sisters
12:47 found the earring in the ocean, where the group had just been swimming, hours ago.
12:51 See you try finding a lost earring in the ocean.
12:54 My question is, I wonder how many takes it took for them to film that segment.
12:57 Okay Kylie, for this take, you found the earring.
13:01 Let's see if it looks better on camera.
13:03 How about that?
13:04 The next scandal comes from Kim Kardashian being accused of wage theft by staff who work
13:09 in her home.
13:10 Kim's staff, chefs, and nannies have some strict rules to follow while working in the
13:15 Kardashian West home.
13:16 In May 2021, Kim K was facing a lawsuit from 7 workers who accused her of wage theft and
13:25 retaliation.
13:26 The workers claimed that they weren't properly compensated for their working hours, they
13:30 didn't receive overtime pay, they were denied required breaks, and they didn't receive any
13:34 pay related documents while working at her Santa Monica home.
13:37 Sounds pretty terrible.
13:39 Kim tried to shift the blame, immediately stating that the responsibility lies with
13:43 the company she hired to manage these workers.
13:45 And her spokesperson added on saying these workers were hired and paid through a third
13:49 party vendor, and Kim is not party to the agreement that was made between the vendor
13:53 and the workers and blah blah blah.
13:56 The case is actually ongoing, but the family has chosen not to address the scandal publicly.
14:01 The next piece of scandal comes from the time that Amber Rose, Kanye West's once lover,
14:07 called Kim Kardashian a home wrecker, who actually pursued Kanye West while they were
14:11 both dating other people.
14:12 Before Kim and Kanye got together in 2012, they were both in serious relationships with
14:17 other people.
14:18 Kanye was dating model Amber Rose until 2010, while Kim was dating NFL star Reggie Bush.
14:25 Amber Rose claimed that Kim had been secretly in contact with Kanye while she was still
14:30 with Reggie, sending him photos.
14:33 Photos of what?
14:34 We don't know.
14:35 In 2012, Amber Rose was quoted saying "Kim is the home wrecker.
14:38 I'm not the home wrecker.
14:40 I don't date men in relationships."
14:42 She added on saying "I just feel like Kim and her family manipulate the media and want
14:46 people to believe what they want them to believe.
14:49 You tell 'em, Amber."
14:50 The next scandal is a big one, and it's the time that Khloe Kardashian had private investigators
14:55 uncover Lamar Odom's cheating, while hiding it from her show.
15:00 See in 2013, numerous stories started to circulate about Lamar Odom cheating on his then-wife
15:06 Khloe Kardashian.
15:08 This terribly, terribly disappointed fans who had seen the couple's seemingly happy
15:12 relationship on TV.
15:14 As we know though, TV remains TV.
15:18 Because later on, Odom admitted to infidelity early in his marriage to Khloe.
15:22 Allegedly, Khloe actually knew about the infidelity a year before it became public, and hired
15:28 a private investigator to track her husband.
15:32 Despite presenting a happy face on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, as well as their
15:35 own show Khloe and Lamar, Khloe was secretly mistrustful of her then-husband Odom.
15:41 A source claimed that Khloe had gotten access to copies of text messages between Lamar and
15:46 other women.
15:49 Kris Jenner opens up about cheating on her late husband Rob Kardashian Sr.
15:55 Could this be the reason why her daughters keep getting cheated on all the time?
15:59 Is this karma?
16:08 In a season 4 episode of their show The Kardashians titled "It Takes a Village", Kris Jenner
16:14 shared some valuable advice with her daughter Khloe Kardashian.
16:27 During a conversation, Kris candidly discussed her past infidelity while in a relationship
16:33 with Robert Kardashian Sr., which is the father of Khloe and her siblings Kourtney and Kim,
16:38 as well as Rob Jr.
16:41 Kris acknowledged that her youth had influenced her actions and tried to convey this perspective
16:46 to her daughter Khloe, and she emphasized the importance of learning from life experiences.
16:52 And this is what Kris Jenner had to say about this whole cheating thing.
17:04 "Appreciate the consequences"
17:13 Khloe then goes on to ask Kris why she cheated and thinking it wasn't a good excuse.
17:30 She then admitted that despite Robert being a great husband and father, she made a big
17:36 mistake by thinking there might be greener grass on the other side.
17:46 So in other words, she didn't really have an excuse.
17:49 She didn't really have a reason outside of just being stupid.
17:59 After the divorce, she and Robert became best friends though, and she had regrets, realizing
18:04 her error, and Kris shared her feelings in a confessional interview in the episode.
18:09 And Kris specifically said this.
18:12 "I don't know, because he was such a great husband and such a great dad, and I think
18:14 that I fell into a situation where I thought that the grass was greener somewhere else
18:19 and I made a huge mistake.
18:21 That's like my life's biggest regret."
18:24 She then goes on to conclude by saying, "When I got divorced, Robert and I became best friends.
18:30 We talked on the phone all day long."
18:39 Also while reflecting on her past, Kris Jenner told Khloe that despite her regrets, she found
18:43 a silver lining and she believed that everything happened for a good reason.
18:54 Including her to marry Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, and having Kendall and Kylie,
18:59 her other two daughters.
19:07 Kris then shared her perspective on the importance of learning from mistakes and advised Khloe
19:12 to be cautious in her relationships.
19:20 Khloe by the way, who shares two children with her NBA superstar husband Tristan Thompson,
19:26 has faced challenges due to his cheating scandals.
19:28 Currently, their relationship is complicated, if you could even call it a relationship.
19:33 They still are pretty cordial though, but Khloe does maintain her distance because he
19:38 cheated on her twice as well as got another woman pregnant.
19:41 But guys, what are your thoughts about this?
19:43 What do you think about Khloe?
19:45 Should she give Tristan another chance?
19:47 Should she listen to her mom Kris's advice and really think about it?
19:53 And understand why Tristan would cheat and empathize?
19:58 Or should she just be like, nope, twice is enough, not getting cheated on by him again,
20:05 I'm gonna move on.
20:06 But for the sake of the kids though, I'm gonna keep it cordial with him.
20:10 Kylie Jenner has been losing millions of dollars and millions of followers recently.
20:15 And people are saying that this is the beginning of her big downfall.
20:20 So what exactly has been going on here?
20:22 So we gotta go back to 2019, where Kylie gained widespread attention as Forbes listed her
20:29 as the youngest self-made billionaire.
20:31 However, many people disputed the term self-made, arguing that Kylie's success was primarily
20:37 due to her family's reputation and influence.
20:40 Also Forbes later revoked the billionaire title after discovering that Kylie had provided
20:46 false information about her earnings and exaggerated her achievements.
21:03 Forbes said that her business, Kylie Cosmetics, was considerably smaller and less profitable
21:09 than previously believed.
21:11 Despite the criticism though, Kylie appeared to be unaffected by this and responded with
21:16 a tweet saying,
21:17 I can name a list of 100 things more important right now than fixating on how much money
21:23 I have.
21:24 Kylie's business is also currently facing significant challenges as reports indicate
21:29 a decline in public interest in her products in general.
21:40 And this decline is largely due to the lack of substantial evolution in the brand over
21:46 the years.
21:47 While Kylie has made efforts to introduce vegan formulas and clean ingredients, the
21:52 brand has struggled to keep up with the competition, especially with other celebrity-owned brands
21:57 from Rihanna, Selena Gomez, and even Millie Bobby Brown.
22:00 Despite expanding the brand's presence to multiple countries also, the public's interest
22:05 and enthusiasm for purchasing these products have definitely dropped.
22:10 There has even been an 80% decline in searches for Kylie's products.
22:16 One other factor contributing to the decline is just that her brand is associated with
22:22 her public image.
22:23 And her public image has been declining over the years as well.
22:27 For instance, since early 2023, Kylie Jenner has faced allegations of bullying after a
22:33 social media incident involving Selena Gomez.
22:36 Videos online highlighted a decline in Kylie's fan base since the incident.
22:42 Kylie had lost over 1 million followers due to this.
22:45 This all started when Selena Gomez shared a TikTok video saying that she accidentally
22:49 laminated her eyebrows too much.
22:54 Then hours later, Kylie posted a selfie on her Instagram stories with a text saying "this
23:00 was an accident" and she also shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call with her friend
23:05 Hailey Bieber focusing on their eyebrows.
23:08 Fans viewed this as shady, mean girl behavior.
23:12 Then in June of 2023, another online post that Kylie made left a lot of fans confused.
23:18 Has Kylie just been lying because her and her family have done stuff like this in the
23:23 past?
23:24 The Instagram post was of a giveaway and the caption read "We're back!
23:28 Win this stunning collection of designer handbags and travel bags + $30,000 USD cash for the
23:34 ultimate travel getaway.
23:36 Total prize valued at over $50,000 USD."
23:39 The giveaway is in no way sponsored, administered, or associated with Instagram or any brand
23:45 seen in this image.
23:47 Yet it had this caption.
23:51 #sponsored
23:52 So of course, this further led her fanbase to feel like something's off with Kylie
23:57 if she's going to be lying like this, which of course impacted her public image.
24:02 Not to mention, Kylie Jenner is currently facing a lawsuit of $120,000 filed by a model
24:07 named Sasha Palma who alleges that she was not paid on time for multiple Kylie Cosmetics
24:13 photo shoots.
24:14 Her contract also said that she's entitled to compensation if payments were made late
24:18 to her.
24:19 The model named Sasha Palma is claiming Kylie never paid her on time for multiple photo
24:22 shoots and now she wants her money.
24:24 In the docs, Sasha claims that she was hired for a one day shoot back in June of 2020 at
24:28 a daily rate of $2,000.
24:29 Now people are speculating if there are other individuals who have experienced similar issues
24:33 with Kylie and her company.
24:35 But Kylie has definitely reinvented herself before and we'll have to wait and see whether
24:40 or not she'll be able to do so and continue to thrive.
24:44 Or is this the beginning of an inevitable end for Kylie Jenner?
