A biography by Dylan Howard is shining a light on the family’s meteoric rise to fame, and the dark secrets they’ve struggled to hide.
In the biography Dirty Sexy Money, Dylan dives into the secret diaries that Robert Kardashian kept - and the entries have been described as ‘explosive’ in nature.
In these diaries that Robert wrote that Kris tortured the daughters Kim and Kourtney, with such things as hair pulling, arm twisting, and repeated beatings,” Howard said.
“In one entry, Robert claims that he received a ‘crying and hysterical’ phone call from Kourtney, claiming that Kris was pulling her hair.
“In another passage, dated October 20, 1993, a then-14-year-old Kourtney and Kim, who was 12 at the time, told Robert that they were ‘scared and nervous’ being around their mother.
And behind closed doors, Dylan says that Kris is dealing with her own ‘family conflicts’.
“She’s estranged from her sister Karen, although their relationship has become a little closer in recent years,” Howard said.
And she herself, of course, has been entangled in a number of different storylines that you don’t see on the television show - her affairs with her tennis instructor, OJ Simpson, and many others.
