Imagine a childhood in which O. Jay Simpson is your godfather and your mother threatens to kill you. Where does she make you deceive your father and not talk about her lover. Or childhood, in which the famous stepfather wears your dresses, but at the same time always comes to the rescue when you have problems. And gossip accompanies you that your father is not really your father. And the mother is so hungry for fame and fortune that she is ready to sacrifice the reputation of her children just to launch her reality show. Gossip? Maybe. But only these rumors are supported by entries in a diary that supposedly belonged to the late father, as well as the words of his second and third wives, and a book written by a journalist who spent years studying the family.
About 20 years ago, no one had even heard of the Kardashians, except for a small circle of nouveau riche friends from Beverly Hills. Robert Kardashian was a smart lawyer who turned into a business man and pretended to have a lot of money (which was not true). His wife, Chris, 11 years younger, loved to spend money and have lovers, sometimes significantly younger than herself. What about children? Contradictory words "abandoned" and "spoiled»When describing them are more common than others. One of Robert's next wives seems to have been able to describe this whole family mess: “I see it this way ... Father behaves like a star, although he is not one, and four children behave like stars - they". Children, by the way, were persistently promoted into show business. It will be even better (or worse, as you see it). In 1991, after a scandalous divorce from Robert, Chris married an Olympic athlete, Bruce Jenner, who already had 4 of their children. And then Kendall and Kylie showed up. Did they know that Bruce liked to wear women's clothing? Of course they knew. You might be interested in article 20 celebrities with many children.
And that's how the Kardashian-Jenner kids grew up - spoiled, rude and uncontrollable. Not too nice, but that's the way it is. Here is a list of 15 facts about the so-called childhood that the Kardashian-Jenners are hiding. And, perhaps, these facts will be able to explain why they have such problems.

15. Meet Todd: "Don't Tell Your Father"
In 1989, when this romance began, Todd Waterman was 24 years old, Chris was 10 years older. By then, she had been married to Robert for about 11 years. Chloe was 5 years old and sometimes she spent time with a couple. Chris forbade the girl to tell her father about it. To say that their relationship was passionate is to say nothing (they say the first time they slept in a mutual friend's house, in his closet).
Then the jealous Robert hired private detectives who tracked down the couple and personally showed up at Todd's apartment, causing a scandal. The lovers, who thought Robert had a gun, fled. Todd was, to put it bluntly, an unemployed footballer at the time, so Chris and her credit cards came in handy. Robert knew how to hurt his money-loving wife the most and, after filing for divorce, blocked all her credit cards. According to Waterman, Chris then often took off on children.
14. Why does mommy sleep on the floor?
The excerpts from the diaries were published by Robert Kardashian's third wife (and widow), Ellen Pearson. And, revealingly, the Kardashians inadvertently confirmed their authenticity by suing Ellen and claiming that the diaries rightfully belong to them. They are full of records of Todd Waterman. But there is also a not too pleasant description of Chris, with might and main having fun with Waterman, locking herself in her room and sleeping all day, disconnecting on the floor of the house.
And among the records there is one like this: “She doesn't care! She left the kids and had fun all night!“Chris sometimes even forgot to pick up the kids from school, allegedly. And Todd Waterman said that Courtney, who was already old enough to understand what was happening, suffered the most from this story. But who does Kourtney resent more - her mother, who spent all her time at parties, or her father, who filed for divorce?
13. Mom told Kim she would kill her
After Robert Kardashian left the family and filed for divorce, the children had every right to get upset. They stayed with Chris, who, despite the blocked credit cards, was determined to continue the romance with Todd Waterman. She had fun at parties, after which she slept for several days. Chris borrowed money from all her friends and fought Robert.
Whichever side you look at, she was on the verge of despair and demanded from her almost ex-husband alimony in the amount of $ 10 thousand a month. But was she cruel to children? Let's go back to the diaries of Robert Kardashian. An unconfirmed incident between Chris and Kim says that this is exactly what she was. According to the magazine In Touch WeeklyOn August 24, 1989, Robert wrote: “Chris beat her [Kim], screamed that she would kill her! Kim was hysterical". Chris later told her: “Kim, if you don't come up here right now, you're dead!»
This Christmas card was made in 1988. The expression on the face of unfortunate Robert Jr. is simply amazing. He seems to be beginning to realize what kind of mean thing fate has thrown on him. And what else? What eight-year-old needs their own Christmas card?
12. O. Jay and the birth of the Kardashian family
After the divorce in 1991, the children shuttled back and forth between Chris and Robert. Jay Simpson, the movie star at the time, and Robert were friends. For children, he was “uncle O. Jay". And then, in 1994, the murder of Nicole Brown-Simpson happened. In 1995, O. Jay was arrested and put on trial. The Pope is sure of his innocence. Mom, whose friend was Nicole, does not doubt his guilt. And children are torn to pieces, not knowing which parent to believe. They say Robert received more support from them than Chris.
But the most important thing that happened that year was the transformation of Robert Kardashian from an unknown lawyer and businessman to a TV star. The court hearings were simply a sensation, the broadcasts were carried out practically without interruption. Robert then got probably more screen time than some TV stars. It is possible that this was somewhat exaggerated in the series “American Crime Story"2016, in one of the scenes of which Robert was lecturing his children on the dangers of fame.
3 years after what happened, when he marries the wealthy widow Jen Ashley, we have the opportunity to find out what impression the Kardashian family makes on a stranger. And it's not the most pleasant one. Robert doesn't have a cent to his heart, but he acts like a celebrity. The same goes for his demanding ex-wife and kids, one of whom Jen calls “bitch", And the other -"wild uncontrollable child". But we will come back to this later.
11. Nanny Stories: Swearing, Cruelty and Fights
Everyone has already perfectly understood that Chris is still a bitch. This is one of the sides of her image. And we know that Robert accused Chris of being violent and spoke openly about partying, alcohol and child neglect. But there is one more thing - Chris forces all of his employees to sign nondisclosure agreements. But sometimes they break it. For example, Pam Behan, who worked for the Kardashian-Jenner family for 5 years as a nanny. And she only speaks positively about Bruce.
According to the information of the magazine “Radar Online", Chris not only brought the blonde nanny to tears, but also made fun of Chloe's weight, saying, for example,"You can't touch the liver, Chloe. You get too chubby". What about other family members? "The girls were so selfish and superficial - how could you expect anything else from them? They fought violently over designer clothes, after which they cried and bled to death.».
They wore the clothes once or twice, after which they gave it to someone. Chris was convinced that they had to become rich and famous, whatever the cost. What about children? She expected the same from them. Anything for fame and fortune.
10. Daddy Steals My Dresses
Bruce Jenner came out in 2015 (just in time, some say, to avoid responsibility for a manslaughter in an accident). What a surprise. Or not. Remember that nanny? She says she knew about his gender issues. What about children? In 2015, when Bruce was interviewed by Diana Sawyer, he admitted that Kim, Kendall, and Kylie knew he was dressing up in women's clothing.
Kim once entered the room and saw him. Her reaction? She got out, got into the car and decided to take a ride. She wanted to get away? The whole family knew, but no one talked about it. Is it okay? When someone started stealing clothes, Kendall (or maybe Kylie) left her webcam on to catch the thief. What did they see? His father in women's clothing, posing in front of the mirror.
Well, if this is not the surest way to ruin childhood, then we do not know what could be even worse. As you know, he already in the 80s thought about changing his gender. And Bruce's strangest comment on this? "If Chris accepted this, then they could still be married.". By the way, Ian Halperin believes that Jenner kept his genitals intact, so that he can return everything to its place and become Bruce again.
9. Father tries to protect teenage daughter
With nanny Pam. Unsurprisingly, young Chloe had (and still has) problems, including drunk driving and an accident that caused memory loss. And all the fights with my mother about weight. Causes concern? Yes, no doubt about it. But that's not all. As a teenager, she drastically lost weight from size 52 to size 38. And her mom was not worried. She was probably only happy. And the same thing happened after Chloe broke up with Lamar Odom.
Robert Kardashian's second wife, Jen Ashley, mentions another problem. She says that 14-year-old Chloe “met with everyone". What does it mean? That Chloe often disappeared. Robert used to ask: “Where is she?"And then hopped into the car and drove through disadvantaged areas of the city, trying to prevent what Jen called"attraction to the opposite sex". Robert shouted to her: “Get in the car!».
8. Stepmother: "The kids were cruel and ill-mannered, and Courtney was a real bitch."
Jen Ashley was a wealthy widow when she married Robert Kardashian in 1998. She says that "the children were just ill-mannered darlings. Before that, I had never met such children. Don't know why they were so cruel". And Jen also called them “family of fakes", Who considered themselves stars, who are allowed to do everything. This was the case for Robert as well.
Children constantly demanded more and more money. Courtney yelled at him. Jen recalls Thanksgiving and her attempt to have an enjoyable family dinner. When she asked Courtney (then 19) to arrange the plates, she refused, saying, “I'm too busy. Leave me alone, I'm busy". Jen complained about this to Robert, calling Courtney “bitch". Daddy's reaction? He came up with excuses. "She's just a child", - he said. "Go away"Ashley said.
7. Bruce and Chris didn't have a dime in their hearts.
The Kardashians-Jenners pretended to be a happy family. Kris Jenner claimed she didn't take a cent from Robert. But, according to Ian Halperin, after the divorce, he paid her $ 5 thousand a month. Halperin says that “Bruce didn't have a dime for his soulWhen he married Chris. However, they lived in a mansion, bought only designer items and hired servants. It was all a lie. Jenner, then still Bruce, was never able to achieve the same success he had at the 1976 Olympics.
Chris spent the entire 90s as his "manager"Helping Bruce with his so-called career. And what did it lead to? For the most part - to participate in television games, reality shows and several unsuccessful movie roles. And then that very recording contributed to the release of the reality show and brought the family fame and fortune. Yes, for the Kardashian-Jenner family, life is divided into "Before Kim Sex Tape" and "after kim sex tape". By the way, Brodie Jenner, Bruce's son from a previous marriage, does not speak to Chris and once said that he does not consider any of the Kardashians to be his family.
The Kardashians have cheated many times, but their sex tape lies are the most memorable. When Kim was about 20 years old (say, about 2003), she and her boyfriend, Ray Jay, recorded a sex tape. And then - shock, horror and lawsuits in 2007, when the company “Vivid Entertainment " admitted that she posted the video on the Internet, which turned Kim into a real star overnight.
The Kardashians sued Vivid Entertainment, which resulted in Kim receiving $ 5 million. Almost the next day, Chris marched to Ryan Seacrest's office with a proposal to launch a reality show about her family, starringthat girl from sex tape". Ian Halperin appeared on the doorstep "Vivid Entertainment", Pretending to be the owner of a celebrity sex tape. What did he learn? What's in "Vivid Entertainment"They would never have announced the release of Kim's sex tape DVD if they hadn't been sure that once the money had been settled, the family wouldn't mind. When the reality show launched, Kylie and Kendall Jenner were only 10 and 12 years old.
5. Children get rid of their stepmother
Back to Jen Ashley. She married Robert in 1998 and was smart enough to enter into a prenuptial agreement. The wedding took place in Vail, Colorado, after which the newlyweds decided to spend their honeymoon with four children. Yes, that's how it was. Robert then said that the children would be with them for a while. It didn't take Jen long to figure out - they were only pretending to be rich and famous. Ashley said that all they did was pretend non-stop.
«They were not rich. Robert acted as if he had money, but he didn’t.". Would she like to have kids with Robert? "Never"She replied. Jen was afraid that they would grow up like Kourtney and Chris. Plus, 30 days later, Jen decided she'd had enough. She went straight to her lawyer and annulled the marriage. "What delayed you so much?", - he asked. It turns out that everyone who was familiar with their family knew that they were living in a lie. Jen admitted that she only felt relief when the marriage was annulled.
4. Kim and Robert Jr. were the sweetest
The nanny, as well as Kardashian's second and third wives, agree on one thing - the kids were spoiled, rude, and uncontrollable. But the nicest of all were Kim and Robert Jr. Since childhood, Kim was confident that she would become rich and famous. On the eBay she started her own business selling clothes for rich children, for which she received interest.
She learned to be a star by following the example of Paris Hilton. In everything. And I learned a lot. Sex tape? There is. Public appearances? There is. And as soon as reality show Paris began to lose popularity, Kim came to the fore with her video. And Robert? He was a happy, sometimes mischievous, boy who seemed to look more and more as he got older. "confused" In my life.
3. Young divas out of control
After graduating from high school, 14-year-old Kim made a video of becoming famous and wants the whole world to remember the beautiful girl she once was. OK. That was already enough. But also a trial? In 1996, Kim and her older sister, Courtney, were going to Atlanta for the Olympic Games. But sitting on the plane and just waiting for take off seemed too boring for them, so the girls decided to have fun. According to Ian Halperin, author of the bestselling book “Kardashian dynasty", They pointed to another passenger and shouted:"He's got a bomb».
They probably thought it was going to be a very funny prank. The authorities disagreed with them and removed the jokers from the flight, banning flights for the next 24 hours. They could have been arrested for this, but their stepfather, Bruce Jenner, stood up for them and used all the crumbs of his popularity to get the girls out of trouble. What lesson did they learn from all this? celebrities can get rid of any accusations and go unpunished.
2. She's so black
Chloe and Sydney Simpson. Occasionally, there are articles in the tabloids claiming that Todd Waterman is actually Chloe's father. But this, let's face it, is most likely not true. In 1984, when Chloe was born, Todd Waterman was about 18 years old. But let's not forget that Robert Kardashian, O. Jay Simpson and Chris had the same social circle in Los Angeles in the 70s. At the time, Chris dated professional golfer, Cesar Sanudo, before turning his attention to Robert.
She reportedly lived at his house but cheated on him with Robert Kardashian himself. And further. Brother Sanudo says that Cesar was convinced that Chris was cheating on him with O. Jay Simpson. Cesar phoned home the day before the golf tournament, but no one answered. Then he called his brother, begging him to come to his house and catch her with her lover. Alas, he refused. And Jen Ashley, Robert's brief second wife, says he often mentioned how “black"Was Chloe. By the way, for Todd Waterman, Khloe is the most beloved member of the Kardashian family (after Chris, of course). He called her special and gifted.
1. Daddy's afterlife revelations
Okay, we already realized that their whole life was built on lies. Robert Kardashian had no money, despite all his pretense. Actually, like Bruce Jenner. And without the high-profile case of O. Jay Simpson and that sex video, the Kardashians would have remained a mediocre and ordinary family. Imagine Chris and Kim without their millions. Let's go back to Daddy Robert again and take a look at his diaries.
His death from cancer in 2003 sparked a violent confrontation between the children and the widow. But his diaries predicted the future. He wrote that Courtney, when she grows up, will harbor a grudge against her mother. There is. And that Kim would become like her mother and reach out to successful men who could provide her with a glamorous life. Chloe? Daddy wrote that she would grow up stubborn and achieve whatever she wanted. What about Rob? "Heavily entangled". Blimey.
