14 DAY TRIAL // The real talk about the implications of the divorce between Kris and Bruce Jenner is just beginning. While yesterday everyone was concerned with who gets what in the divorce and what they were settling on, today, it's been suggested that the end of the Jenner marriage might actually bring with it the end of the famous family reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Radar is claiming that since the couple filed for divorce yesterday in LA, there have already been the first rumors about how Bruce was planning to leave the show and this triggered a chain reaction, as more and more family members thought about quitting.
Bruce wants out of KUWTK, family members will follow
Sources close to the family have confirmed that this is going to be Bruce's final season on KUWTK and that his departure could be the beginning of the end for the reality series. An insider is quoted as saying “Season Ten of Keeping Up with the Kardashians will indeed be Bruce's last. It seemed like the perfect time for him to go out on a high note. Under the terms of his contract he is contractually obligated to film the upcoming season, but after that, he is done.”
As you might imagine, this termination of participation doesn't sit well with Kris, who relies heavily on the reality show for her income, as well as for exposure. The insider confirms, “This of course isn't sitting well with Kris. She would film the reality show forever if she could.”
Kris is not happy about losing her reality TV empire
But sadly for her, Bruce's departure is just opening the door for others to leave the reality empire. As we have previously reported, Kanye is making bigger and bigger pressures every day on Kim Kardashian to leave the series, feeling that having their personal life exposed on TV is not the best course of action. Kanye, of course, is a guy who likes to keep private affairs private.
There's also been talk that Kendall Jenner, the young and successful model, is also planning to cut her ties with the reality show, after important people in the field have told her that it was hurting her image. Since Kendall is determined to make it as a high fashion model, she is said to have already told her mother about her wish to be cut out of future seasons.
So, apart from seeing her fortune cut in half by the divorce, Kris is also seeing her biggest money-earner, the reality show empire she's built, slowly unravel and fall apart as more and more family members chose their own path in life.
The matriarch who is known for getting her fingers in all Kardashian and Jenner projects and earning a flat 10% fee out of all business ventures of her children, is going to have a rough time pretty soon.
