Every day, a new bit of Keeping Up with the Kardashians fakery gets exposed. And every time it turns into a scandal on how real should reality television be. This time, it was revealed that the “Jenner house” featured in outside shots of the show isn't actually the home in which the Kardashian clan lives at the moment.

Kim addressed the issue which was brought up by a fan who asked “So is it true that yall used a fake house for your reality show?” She candidly replied “When we film inside, that's obviously our real home,” careful to add that it was for security reasons.

In order to better understand why the producers chose to feature a random house other than the real one, Kim revealed that “My old home in Beverly Hills was really my home & I would get people showing up at all hours ringing my gate & had to call the police on several occasions.”

She continues the recounting of her unpleasant experience “People hoping the gate & scaring me. It was so unsafe. The hollywood star tours would stop by too, bc they recognized my home from our show. After that we realized how unsafe it is to show the exterior of our homes. So now we use different homes for the outside for security purposes.”

TMZ claims that the family instead chose to feature another house some miles away from their actual home, which is now being sold off for several millions.

In fact, this is how the deception was discovered, since the home was listed as the “Jenner house” but people who watched the show on a regular basis failed to recognize the interiors, which are obviously from the real Jenner home and said that the ad was misleading and fake.

This is the latest scandal that exposes the reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians as a fake. There were heated talks when Kim's engagement ring was featured on the show prior to Kanye's actual proposal which led people to believe that the time line wasn't always straight.

An even more heated debate arose when it was implied that several conflicts in the show were scripted by the producers instead of occurring in real life, which definitely defeats the concept of reality TV.

If you add all of these issues, you kind of get the idea why the Kardashian reality show has been losing viewers during the last episodes and dropping in rating at an alarming pace. The irony is that the more it drops, the more producers struggle to make it more artificial by inventing conflicts.
