Robert Kardashian's secret diaries allege Kris Jenner 'tortured' daughters Kim and Kourtney

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.

The excerpts pictured above show Robert reeling about Kris’ affair with Todd Waterman. “Todd drove up to the back gate & parked. He went in the house & slept in my bed… Khloé & Robert were in the house,” he writes on Dec 15, 1989.

When Todd wasn’t at the Kardashian household, Kris spent nights and even holidays away from her family. “She doesn’t care!” Robert wrote on the same day. “She left [the] kids & screwed all nite.” Ten days later, his entry was followed by a Christmas day log: “I was home alone with 4 kids.” Robert writes about Christmas 1989. “I put them to bed & played w/them.”

If Kris is revealed to have been abusive to her kids when they were minors, that adds a whole new layer of darkness to the already dark and sordid tale of her basically marketing and monetizing her own child's sex tape.

by Anonymousreply 5September 5, 2022 3:55 AM

Previous entries alleged Kris kicked, beat and threatened to kill Kim as their 12-year marriage collapsed.

"Kris was kicking and beating her and said she was going to kill her!" Robert wrote in an Aug. 24, 1989 entry in his diary, "Kim was hysterical. Kris then got on the phone and said, 'Kim if you don't get up here right now you are dead!'"

Other notes include "Kris slept on floor b/c she was so drunk' and later that he 'kicked her out'.

'Caught K at Todd's apt, Told her I wanted a divorce.'

'11th anniv. - what a joke,' and, 'Kris slept out again - never home at all. Kids don’t even ask where she is."

In another disconcerting admission, Robert said “Kris couldn’t get her act together” to be around for the family, and she would forget to pick up the children from school because she was busy romancing Todd.

"The whole time she was gone she NEVER asked to talk with her kids!" he wrote Sep. 27, 1989

Your view is so widespread, R4, that I can't even slam you for it. Maybe I'm the one who's wrong. But it's surprising how many people truly seem to believe that immense wealth (and fame, in some cases) is a good trade off against a meaningful life and healthy relationships. The adult Kardashian kids don't seem obviously insane or anything like that but you do wonder, if any of them had the capacity or curiosity to understand their own lives, if there would be any ambiguity there. Who knows, maybe there wouldn't. Probably there wouldn't. But it does look incredibly empty (and incredibly opulent) from the outside.

If you watch the first season or two of KUWTK you can see that Kris pushed Kim to capitalize off of the notoriety from the sex tape. Initially Kim was very shy but the more she got used to the attention the more addicted she got to it. The one episode that exposed it was Playboy offered Kim a layout and she didn't want to do it but Kris kept pushing her and even did some semi nude photos herself. It was clear that Kris wanted to be in Playboy herself and was pushing Kim to do it to live out the fantasy through her. She really is a piece of shit as a mother.

I don't think it's at all remarkable for a mother to say to her teenage daughter, "Get up here now or you're dead." They'd try the patience of a saint. It's remarkable for a daughter to take that literally, but Kim is no genius.

I can also imagine those Kardashian princesses screaming "She's pulling my hair!" and claiming torture if she was so much as brushing tangles out of it. If she actually "beat" Kim, who is small, rather than just giving her the slap all of us have wanted to administer at one time or other, then sure, that's going too far.

On the other side of the coin, from the little I know about them Kris appears to be more their madam than their mother, and Robert apparently wants a medal for playing with his motherless kids on Christmas Day. Face it, there is nothing good to be said of this family.

by Anonymousreply 41September 5, 2022 5:57 AM

When KUWTK's started, Kris & Bruce were broke and on the verge of having to file for bankruptcy. Kims first husband eluded to this in an interview he did with Vladtv, on YouTube. But never went into details. He said he helped them out a lot over the years because he had money etc. Kathy Lee Gifford also said Kris & Bruce had really bad money problems as well, and that they almost lost their home a few times. Kathy said this several years ago on some podcast.

So that explains why they we're desperate for money when the sextape came out, and why they were desperate to do a reality show. They needed money bad and Kim was gonna be the family cash cow. And it all worked out big time.

by Anonymousreply 42September 5, 2022 6:11 AM

Harvey Levin from TMZ also said Kris and Bruce we're extended financially and had really bad credit card debt, way back in the late 90s early 00s. He once went into details about their money issues on TMZ live about a decade ago. So this has to be true. There's been plenty of people saying the very same thing about them.

They ended up coming out of the hole big time.

If any of this is true, it would make perfect sense why she encouraged Kim to sell herself out with a sex tape.

NO decent mother or woman encourages her adult child to create a sex tape for the hope that it becomes a huge hit, in order to make her daughter famous for something as tawdry as this. The thought just doesn’t even cross your mind, not even once. It’s inconceivable to a good mother to even entertain the thought for 1 second.

So that’s that. Make of it what you will.

by Anonymousreply 59September 5, 2022 12:20 PM

There was a Daily Mail article a few years back with pictures and sources listed that basically said that Kris herself learned everything she knows from her *own* mother (the Kardashian kid’s grandmother who they called “MJ”—I think for Mary Jo or something—on the show) who was a cold woman in real life, unhappy in her own marriage to Kris’ father, ambivalent towards her other daughter (Kris’ sister) and started taking Kris (who the mom thought was very attractive) at age 16 to “ritzy events” like golfing events where Kris could “catch the eye of any wealthy man” so Kris could “marry them while young” and basically set up her (grandma MJ) for life.

The article basically said that Kris’ mom taught her everything she knows, taught her daughter very young “what men like”, and pressured her to basically hook a rich man at any cost and get one to marry her.

She didn’t care if she (Kris) has affairs with a few of them (even though she was a teenager at the time), but she basically told her that life was not about love, it was about getting a rich man locked down so you were set up for life.

Apparently it was at one such event that Kris met Robert Kardashian (who was significantly older than her at the time) and her mom was excited and pressured Kris to seduce him and get him to marry her because he was already set up and wealthy at the time.

So basically Kris is her cold mother’s creation (with no moral compass or emotional maturity herself) and Kris is like a shell of a person who was only taught from a young age to have ruthless ambition, to hustle men, and to only value money and status and she (Kris) became who she is now and locked in on her daughters (especially Kim, who she apparently recognized early was the “prettiest” of her girls) to do what she did and value what she valued.

It’s also why Kris never really loved or respected Robert Kardashian (because he was basically just a mark and a means to an end) and also why Kris was such a crappy mother herself.

The article explained so much. Like I said, this was a few years ago, so I’ll see if I can find it again.

Kris’ mom seemed like a cold, hard bitch though who was glad that she basically pimped out her daughter (and Kris apparently did make sure the mom enjoyed the wealth too, like the mom had always wanted), so this is a generational thing with the women in the Kardashian girl’s family....

by Anonymousreply 60September 5, 2022 12:26 PM

I don't doubt that Kris is a terrible person, but why are these otherwise capable adult women still letting that woman literally run their lives? I don't know what Kardashian's deal was since they clearly consider him a saint these days, but there is no doubt that in both her marriages, Kris wore the pants. Clearly all the therapy they've had hasn't really helped since Kim seems to continue to glom onto mentally ill men and the others just seem unhappy & fucked up in their own way, despite their lavish lives.

by Anonymousreply 61September 5, 2022 12:29 PM

It’s called trauma bonding, R61.

Although my mom didn’t pimp me out or allow me to get molested by her boyfriends, as many shitty moms do, my mom basically ignored me, and treated me as of though I was a horrible person, because I was a little kid who needed attention and love.

My mom basically made me her maid from the time I was a kid, and constantly complained about having to provide me with very basic things. Then in moments which I assume were based on guilt, she’d go overboard and indulge me with nice clothing and jewelry.

She was awful to me, yet I still love her, and carry lots of guilt and shame for things I never did, and for becoming an adult who has struggled with different things in life, due to my shitty upbringing.

Had my grandmother not been my lifesaver as a child, I have no idea how badly it could have turned out.

Anyhow, I’m constantly worried about my mom. I feel guilt for not being able to financially care for her.

I understand my feelings are irrational, based on her horrible treatment of me and how she basically treated me as a burden, but she’s the only mother I’ve ever known.

I imagine the same is going on here with these Kardashian girls.

Kris is more than likely a sociopath, or a high functioning NPD with borderline traits, who was intelligent enough and without a scintilla of dignity, who was perfectly OK with pimping her daughters out for anything she could grasp and claw at.

It certainly worked out in her favor financially, and I believe that this is the case because she is more than likely RUTHLESS.

I've always thought that Kathie Lee Gifford was a fraud with a self-righteous heart of stone, like most Christian fundamentalists who espouse endlessly about the virtues of their beliefs. It's always boggled me that so many people have been so duped by her phoniness, which she's unwittingly provided many contradicting examples of herself. After learning that she & Kris Jenner have been besties since the 70s it confirmed to me that both women are purly narcissistic & evil people, nothing more than self-centered, shameless opportunists. Who a person associates with is truly an accurate gauge of their actual character. How telling was it when Kathie Lee took out of full newspaper page to editorialize about what a great guy Matt Lauer was & that she said on her hour of Today that she'd always consider herself an friend of Bill Cosby's. That's just too rich.

I find it hard to believe because Ray Jay doesn't seem the brightest. Even if he was the one who went through all of the motions, or thought it was his idea, I am sure Kris was pulling all of the strings behind getting the deal done. Wasn't she just following the Paris Hilton model of rocketing to stardom? Kim was a hanger-on of Paris's in the earlier days. I am sure Kris studied and saw how Paris rose to stardom through an "embarrassing" sex tape and then did the same for her daughter. Although from the beginning I am sure she wouldn't have chosen a black man. But because said black man was the brother of a major pop star at the time, it all made sense to her.

The sex tape was sold and released commercially. It had to have Kim's consent to be released. And by law all porn performers have to verify their age through legal documentation. Kris influencing Kim to do so makes more sense than Ray J just selling it without Kim's consent because that would never have worked. Notice Rob Lowe's, Pam Anderson's and Colin Farrell's sex tapes never got released on VHS or DVD. Because they didn't give consent and didn't want them released.

Kim can be annoying but always came across as an empty vessel with no personality and an intense need for validation. Histrionic or something? I don't think she's narcissistic because she lacks that mean-spirited attitude, cutthroat nature and ambition. She just follows orders from her mother and PR team who are the cutthroat ones. Everything she does seems like it's calculated. She's similar to Beyonce in that regard to just following orders. If Kim was a classic narcissist, she'd already become a lawyer, she would have pushed that pop star career attempt further and she would have dumped Kanye very quickly.

Narcissists in the entertainment industry like Madonna and J. Lo do whatever it takes to be in the spotlight, will speak their mind and bash their haters and often don't mind any type of negative publicity. Kim always seemed like a trained puppet.

r59 Kim and Ray J created the tape, it was Ray J's idea because he had a failing rap career and at that time other rap guys were starting to get into porn. So in order to boost his image Ray J had the sex tape leak to Vivid video. Once it was out there Kris decided to capitalize off of it.

It's interesting that everyone forgets that making private sex tapes was a cultural thing at that time, lots of couples were doing it not just famous people. It went right along with the normalization of strip clubs and porn in the mainstream.

This is a crowd that hung out in the sleazier clubs on the Strip (Roxbury), and lived on the Westside.

Lots of cocaine, partying and not-so-secret prostitution. And these are not nice people, either. All in all, a pretty vile group.

—was there

"My sister's ex-husband played golf with OJ and Kardasian occasionally - they had mutual friends. My sister tagged along and spent some time with their wives.

R89 There's lawyers who are advocacy and charity based. Plenty of leftwing ones. But laws aren't based around morals. And require some detachment from emotions. If you practice long enough and enter either as a strong conservative or liberal, you're likely end up neutral and centrist. Law depends on the government, so you can't easily be one of those Republicans that for small government. And law depends on crimes being punished, so you can't be one of those Democrats that's about abolishing police force either

At the ski resort with Waterman and the Garveys, Kris hoped her hot times with her decade-younger lover could be rekindled. The setting was perfect: an outdoor Jacuzzi, a crackling fireplace in every room, champagne—until she spotted him flirting with sexy, much-younger Hawaiian Tropic bimbos who also were skimpily flitting around the resort. She was furious.

When they got home, Kris told Waterman it was over. Seeing him eyeing women who were almost half her age, and with even bigger breast implants, Kris had come to the realization that she had made a “ginormous mistake” by giving up Robert and all the luxury that came with him for a sexual fling. Instead of criticizing Kardashian as a lousy lover and kisser, as she had done after getting a taste of Waterman, she was once again schizophrenically lauding him as “The greatest guy in the world … who encouraged me to be a good Christian,” according to the story she hawked to readers of her book.

Meanwhile, back at Tower Lane, with both parents stubbornly refusing to vacate the luxe premises as their divorce proceeded, Kris Kardashian noted that her children were “living on a battlefield.”

Joni Migdal observed what was happening and maintained that Kardashian was “always there” for his children. “He did his best to be a good father. They always had wonderful birthday parties. They went to church. Back then they were all down-to-earth kids, and the divorce devastated all of them. And there was the anger that Robert felt toward Kris, and the anger that Robert felt toward his life and himself. “It was horrible.”

"Kris had befriended another young, attractive mother, Anita Friedman, whose unidentical twin daughters, Johanna and Elizabeth, had become chums with little Khloé Kardashian at the public El Rodeo Elementary School, in Beverly Hills, and the children had a number of playdates together.

While Anita Friedman had no knowledge at the time of Kris’s affair with Todd Waterman, she knew her marriage was on the rocks, that there was a separation in progess, and that the turmoil at home was having an emotional impact on six-year-old Khloé, who she recalls was “sweet, but very passive.” And Friedman viewed Kris as a “bored housewife” who sported Chanel everywhere she went.

Later, when it all came out about Kris’s affair and the divorce, Friedman said she looked back to that time and realized that Kris must have been thrilled knowing she could run off to meet her lover and be able to drop off Khloé “for a playdate, and Khloé was my girls’ go-to friend.”

“I remember looking at Khloé at Christmas break, and she’s standing there with a cage with a guinea pig in it and she was by herself and everybody was getting picked up, and I go, ‘Hi, sweetheart, are you getting picked up?’ And she says, ‘Yes, my daddy’s picking me up.’

And when I looked at her, I thought, this girl has no guile whatsoever. She’s just the sweetest, and the nicest—very unpretentious, not pushy, and I think my daughters kind of pretty much ruled her—‘let’s play this, let’s play that.’

“She had those beautiful greenish-blue eyes and that golden hair and she did absolutely look different from the rest of them,” continued Friedman. “Lately, when they [the tabloid and celebrity media] are showing possible fathers for Khloé, she looks just like that hairdresser, and he looks like Khloé—they have the same facial structure, and those eyes.”

"Later, when Khloé was a teenager, she was working with her older sisters in a boutique they had in the L.A. suburb of Calabasas, and Friedman and her daughters spotted her there. She looked completely different and had lost her childhood cuteness.

“She looked like the dregs,” recalled Friedman. “Black hair and black bangs, and very goth.”

In the midst of the Kardashians’ divorce battle, Kris had invited Friedman to a birthday party for little Khloé, and because it was a swim party at the Kardashian pool she decided to stay to keep a watch over her daughters because Kris didn’t have a lifeguard present, and it was “just a free-for-all type party.”

The only man present was Khloé’s father, who Friedman had never before met, and Kardashian was seated “away from everybody,” cleaning a separate spa pool with a net on his property. Since Kris was visibly ignoring him and not making any introductions, the gregarious Mrs. Friedman, seeing how glum and lonely he appeared, decided to introduce herself.

“So I went and sat with him,” she said, “and he was very downcast, very sad, very disturbed, and very angry because they were breaking up, even though they were still living in the same house. He was very cordial, very sweet, but very down, but not just depressed—it was more of an anger, and he had a right to be angry. He was looking at the kids in the pool in the distance and he seemed sad.

Friedman noted that there was absolutely no communication between Kris and Kardashian during the party. Kris was in a bikini, “she’s got her sister with her and they were whispering and giggling about Mr. Kardashian. There was great tension in the air. There was a great disconnect, and there was animosity.”

What surprised Friedman, too, was how Kris looked stripped down to a skimpy swimsuit.

“It’s not like she had lard, it didn’t look like she had cellulite, but she didn’t look that great,” recalled Friedman. “But I’m looking at her and I remember thinking, this gal is divorcing her husband and she’s got four children, but she’s looking like she’s getting ready to be over the hill—not run-down or anything, but not looking her best, even though she was a pretty woman.”

by Anonymousreply 97September 5, 2022 5:51 PM

At one point, Friedman walked into the Kardashian home and the first thing that struck her was an immense oil painting of the Kardashian family “when they were all younger, and wow, did Kris look beautiful in that picture, which was the focal point of the living room.”

Wandering to the kitchen, she stopped suddenly in the entrance to avoid interrupting the tender scene she had come upon.

“Kourtney and Kim were hugging Robert, saying, ‘We love you, Daddy.’ They kept telling him how much they loved him, and that they were going to miss him because he was going to San Francisco for the weekend, and he had his bags with him.”

SOME MONTHS LATER, EL RODEO Elementary was holding an open house for parents and, Friedman had never forgotten, “Kris rolls in and she now looks really good. She’s reinvented herself, and she looks really skinny, and she’s wearing this short little pencil skirt and a beautiful, gorgeous Irish green Chanel jacket and carrying a Chanel purse, of course, and who does she have in tow but Bruce Jenner, who was her new beau, but they weren’t married yet, and he’s kind of hanging out, and he was not in a pencil skirt at the time.

“Today I can just imagine Robert Kardashian watching this whole Kardashian-Jenner insanity from heaven. Who would have thought that chick in the bathing suit at that party for little Khloé was going to do what she was going to do. I thought her glory days were almost over back then. Little did I know.”

Candace Garvey instantly became a close member of Kris’s hot, all-girl, hard-partying, big-spending Brentwood–Beverly Hills entourage, along with Nicole Simpson, Faye Resnick, and a few others.

Blond, blue/green-eyed and with a grand-slam home-run figure, Garvey was everything Kris liked her friends to look, plus back in high school Candace was on the cheerleader squad, which Kris had failed to make.

Asked in 2015 about Kris’s close female friends, her former brother-in-law, Tom Kardashian, responded, “Those are all—sorry, I just can’t say the word.”

AROUND THE TIME KARDASHIAN filed for divorce, Larry Kraines remembered the tense situation “Because Joyce [Kraines’s wife] and Kris were close I didn’t want to get in the middle of who was doing who. But Robert would call me, and we’d sit and talk, and he was angry, and I told him, ‘It’s time to move on.’ But he was saying, ‘She’s the mother of my children. How could she do that to me?’

“I felt sorry for him, but more particularly for the kids, and they were good kids. I told Robert, ‘You’ve got to stay close to the kids. Don’t get into a pissing contest with Kris.’ But Robert was very upset, very depressed, like you’d normally be when you’re losing a wife and children and a home, and you’re basically starting all over again.”

Despite all the problems Kris had ignited with her affair, she still couldn’t get Todd Waterman out of her system. Amazingly, she still hoped to be with him.

On a weekend when Robert had left the house and taken the children to Palm Springs, Kris tried to reach Waterman by phone. Unsuccessful, and even though it was the middle of the night, she drove to his apartment, which she had helped furnish. There, she claimed, she discovered the young bachelor in bed with another woman.

Kardashian would play a key role as O.J.’s loyal friend and defender in the almost nine-month nationally televised trial.

Kardashian thought he would exit the case as a national hero, as the ultimate loyal friend. Instead, he would be demonized as much as the acquitted defendant whom he had stood by. There would be anonymous midnight calls, threatening his life and the lives of his children, and he would be virtually blacklisted in the Beverly Hills society in which he ran.

“No one ever turned their back on someone like they did on Robert over the O.J. thing,” recalled his longtime confidant Joni Migdal. “We would be driving in his convertible and people would spit on him—oh, it was terrible. Many of his friends wouldn’t even talk to him. No one wanted to do business with him. When he would walk outside he would wear a baseball cap so no one would recognize him with that streak in his hair.

“He really believed that by doing what he was doing with O.J. that he would have opportunities to become a paid public speaker and talk to audiences about friendship, about faith, but that opportunity never arose. It was very sad for him, and he was very depressed that none of his good intentions were ever honored or recognized. And they were good intentions. Robert was never an opportunist—never. What truly devastated him, what I think truly was a factor in killing him, was the fact that everybody, instead of appreciating the fact that he was a good friend and that he supported O.J.—everybody turned their back on him. Everyone.”

And indirectly, Migdal became involved in the O.J. case herself when Kardashian hired her daughter, law school graduate Nicole Pulvers, to babysit O.J. after his arrest and during the lengthy trial. None of the media covering the trial had ever connected the dots—that the young woman with the last name of Pulvers, who spent eight hours a day with O.J. as his babysitter and, as the lawyers joked, “O.J.’s Jewish mother,” was the daughter of Kardashian’s close friend Joni.

Pulvers had come to love O.J., and when the trial was nearly over and the verdict was to be announced, she decided to wait for the outcome at O.J.’s home with Al Cowlings and others in the Simpson inner circle.

“In the beginning,” said Migdal years later, “the O.J. case was my daughter’s first job, and she thought it was the best job in the world. But it ended up to be the worst job in the world. we all believed O.J. was innocent. People were asking her for a comment and for books and she just shied away from the whole thing, as did I.” Pulvers left the law and became a stockbroker.

In her memoir Kris wrote about her relationship with Nicole, but after the book was published, Nicole Brown Simpson’s family claimed that what she wrote was strictly with profit and publicity in mind and that her account was not accurate. “Kris Jenner is pathetic,” Nicole’s sister, Denise Brown, declared in an interview.

In her book, Kris detailed a phone call she received from Denise a day after the murder involving a stash of photographs. But Denise told the tabloid she had never made such a call, and knew nothing about such photos. “I think most people will question Kris's intentions of writing about my sister’s murder,” said Brown. “Nicole has been dead for seventeen years. Please, Kris, don’t profit off of my sister’s death.”

Kardashian knew—and feared—that his involvement in the O.J. defense would create an even bigger chasm between himself and his ex-wife and especially their two eldest children.

In hopes of staving off the animosity he was certain would be directed at him, Kardashian penned a mea culpa to Kris, explaining why he had gotten involved. It was dated January 22, 1995.

“God allowed this horrible tragedy to occur for whatever reason,” and he claimed, “I just happened to be in the ‘wrong place at the wrong time.’ I am not a public figure and really do not enjoy the horrible invasion of privacy of you, me and my family.” He further told them that he didn’t want “our family torn apart” by the very public trial and the headlines, and he asserted that he felt “trapped in the position I am in and can’t get out.”

Still, he showed his loyalty to his longtime friend. “I truly believe in O.J.’s innocence and unless they find him guilty, I will continue to support him.” He concluded by writing, “I love you all and just want the best for our family. Please be understanding.”

He ended, “Love, Robert.”

When his firstborn, Kourtney, applied to the University of Arizona, the ultimate party and stoner school, from where she earned a degree in theater arts and hung out with another L.A. celebrity brat, Nicole Richie, her application essay was entitled “My Parents Were on the Opposite Sides of the O.J.

One of the few friends who, along with Joni Migdal, stuck by Robert Kardashian through the O.J. trial and up until his death eight years later was Larry Kraines. Like Kardashian, Kraines, who had closely socialized with O.J. when Kris was still with Robert and O.J. was with Nicole, believed in the Juice’s innocence, always considered him a fun-loving, good-hearted guy.

Just four months before the murders, in February 1994, around Valentine’s Day, Kraines, his wife, Joyce, O.J., Nicole, and Kris had dinner together at a restaurant in San Pedro owned by a former USC football player, and throughout the meal and drinks O.J. was “the same old friendly guy, and you’d never know anything was wrong between them. It was just good ol’ O.J. and Nicole being Nicole, difficult and angry"

But after the acquittal, Kraines, like Migdal, witnessed the living hell Kardashian was experiencing.

“People would key his car frequently, and throw shit and break his windows,” Kraines recalled sadly. “There was a lot of resentment. It did really boomerang the wrong way for Robert. He had problems trying to make a lot of money again. He wasn’t doing great financially. ,”

Continued Kraines. “After the O.J. thing a lot of people didn’t want to have anything to do with him—more than anyone can believe. More than he believed. He was hoping that him sticking up for his friend and being there at the time of need would bring him fame and fortune, and it may have brought him fame, but for not very long, and did not bring him fortune. It brought him misfortune.”

Robert’s family, the Kardashians, were a secretive lot, making money in tough, highly competitive, sometimes dirty businesses—from waste management to historically corrupt meat packing and much in between—so keeping it on the down-low was of the utmost importance. By going public in the most publicized murder trial in contemporary American history, Robert had broken the Kardashian family’s vow of silence, its omertà.

Thus, members of the sprawling Kardashian family—weren’t at all happy with the attention he had brought to the Kardashian name. They liked O.J., but they hated the notoriety.

And were even more upset later by the even brighter spotlight shone on it by Robert’s ex-wife Kris Jenner and the three daughters she had with him, in particular Kim Kardashian, of sex tape fame.

The good Kardashian name, they felt strongly, was being dragged through the mud.

As one outspoken family member, Paulette Kardashian, wife of Kardashian relation Sam Kardashian, proprietor of Southern California Disposal and Recycling Company—declared :“Nobody would have known who the Kardashians are. We were really put on the map because of a murder and a sex tape, and that’s sad. My husband—he’s really quite upset that the Kardashian name has been taken down. When you have a clean name, and then your name is known all over the world for different things, it’s very difficult. The Kardashian name got recognized because of the murder and when Kim did that sex tape."

“When all this started,” continued Paulette Kardashian, “my husband kept thinking it’s going to go away, but I said, ‘It’s not going to go away. It’s only going to get bigger.’ But what is it those Kardashians are selling? They really aren’t noted for anything. But people give Kris credit because she’s very smart, she’s very shrewd … a murder and a sex tape.”

Kris Jenner shopping her daughter's sex tape:

"From 2003 onward, Kim’s sex tape remained hidden and undiscovered, and it did not surface until 2007—curiously in the same year that her mother, Kris Kardashian Jenner, cut a lucrative deal for a reality show with E! to air all of their bizarre behavior as a family. Around the same time, Kim and Ray J’s sex tape was purchased by a major producer and purveyor of adult films. Vivid Entertainment, which paid a mysterious someone a reported one million dollars, released it publicly in stores and on the Internet shortly after Valentine’s Day 2007, with much fanfare, controversy, and, for Kim Kardashian and her family, free publicity worth untold millions of dollars.

It was called Kim Kardashian, Superstar.

But how did it get from the confines of Kim’s very private possessions to Vivid?

Blame—or credit—the momager.

“Kris knew people who knew people,” said a close Kardashian business insider who was aware of the clandestine sex tape transaction. “She’d learned much from Robert and much from Bruce through the years. She knew her way around town, and had the connections. Kris saw the value in that tape, knew how a sex tape had made Paris Hilton a sensation, and figured it could do the same for Kim. Either directly or indirectly, that tape got to the folks at Vivid. Kris knew what she was doing, and Kim went along for the ride. It was all about money and fame.”

Generating even more publicity and visibility, Kim made headlines by suing Vivid for distributing Kim Kardashian, Superstar, seeking all profits from its sale and asking for unspecified damages along with attorney fees.

by Anonymousreply 116September 5, 2022 7:37 PM

Steven Hirsch, Vivid’s co-chairman at the time, said his company had “the legal right to distribute” the tape, was “comfortable” in releasing it,

Ray J, not named in the suit, had nothing to add.

But his mother, Sonja Norwood, later suggested that Kim was the likely source for leaking the tape. “As a mother, I was very upset,”. She claimed that Kim and her son had dated for five years and “were in love,” and she noted, referring to the tape, “What you don’t want people to see, you don’t do.… Somehow it [the tape] surfaced.” And she was furious that Ray J was being gossiped about and blamed for leaking it to Vivid.

It all ended amicably, however, when Kim, after generating headlines, dropped her lawsuit.

Other than her role in a sex tape, Kim had no other fame at that point, as underscored by Hirsch’s press release, which described her only as the “daughter of O. J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian and a close friend of Paris Hilton.” It further noted, “As part of her commitment to drop the suit, Ms. Kardashian agreed to a lump sum financial settlement for the sale of the DVDs.”

It was later reported that she got nearly $5 million for her sex play with Ray J, with whom she had broken up in 2005

The Kardashian interracial relationships:

When his second-born, Kim, got married in 2000 to music producer Damon Thomas—the first of her three African-American husbands— Kardashian was upset, he confided in a friend that he was upset and concerned about their interracial relationship.

“I know these black guys and I’ve known them all my life, and I know they love white pussy,” the source recalled Kardashian angrily saying. “O.J. always brags about how much he and those guys get. The problem is I have no one to blame but myself because I introduced them to Uncle O.J. , and they always felt too comfortable with him .”

And the friend noted, “It was my sense, my perception that Robert would have preferred Kimmy to be with a white guy.”

By the close of 2016, first-born Kourtney was the only one of Kardashian’s three daughters who hadn’t married an African-American.

....... Shawn Chapman was hoping that her relationship with Kardashian would move forward. But Kardashian, whose close friend for decades had been a black man, who had a liberal household in which his children called Simpson “Uncle O.J.,” and two of three of whose daughters and even his ex-wife would later date and/or marry African-American men, couldn’t fully commit to Chapman because of her race.

“Robert realized that because Shawn wasn’t white that he couldn’t get really serious with her, and that was the part where he had to give her up,” said the friend, looking back years later. “Shawn was devastated because she really loved Robert, and I think he really loved her. Shawn was smart and lovely and a wonderful person. He told me he loved her but had to come to grips with his own biases—his racial biases. It didn’t matter that his best friend was O.J. He just knew that he could never give Shawn a commitment the way that she wanted it because of her race.”

Wrong. Kardashian and other friends never knew this or saw any proof of this. On the contrary, OJ/Nicole friends witnessed Nicole beating OJ (slapping, kicking, shoving, throwing objects like vases, baseball bat ect). Their friends said they saw Nicole getting physical with OJ on numerous oaccasions.

If OJ beat Nicole on some occasions, it was reactive. Even a drug dealer (of their circle) knew this and said that Nicole swung first. Their relationship was volatile. It's not one sided or simple as the media portrays or people think.

I've written about my one encounter with the Kardashians at Christmas 1998. I was part of a group of decorators that festooned the Jenner house for the holidays. Bruce was out on a speaking engagement, but Kris asked if anyone from the group wanted an autographed Wheaties box featuring Bruce at the Olympics. I remember his suit from that monumental occasion framed behind glass and displayed in the "rec room." I didn't want a box personally, but I did ask for one for my dad, giving Kris his name and address. I joked to Kris I wish I'd brought my copy of Can't Stop the Music CD cover to be signed.

Later, the three oldest girls and I stood in the foyer discussing Marilyn Monroe for roughly thirty minutes before my boss made me get back to work. Kris made sure we had all the refreshments we wanted, the girls happily bringing sodas or snacks to wherever we were working. Three normal girls. No clue they'd become as big as they did.

Six weeks later, my dad got his Wheaties box.

"Kim had become Paris’s sidekick—both with sex tapes on their résumés—and the two of them, according to Kris, began “traveling to places like Vegas or the Hamptons together.… Paris started asking Kim to go everywhere with her” and “the media started noticing Kim because she was always with Paris.”

They were being noticed, in fact, mainly because they were two young, exhibitionistic, narcissistic, fame-hungry hotties who had become celebrities by doing it on camera and being generally outrageous.

By then Kim was long divorced from her first husband, the African-American music producer Damon Thomas, with whom she had eloped in 2000 when she was nineteen and he twenty-nine. They divorced in 2003 after a very stormy three years together.

In divorce papers that were later leaked to a tabloid, Kim alleged she had been both emotionally and physically abused by Thomas, that he had slammed her against walls, thrown her across a room, and battered and bruised her, or so she had alleged. The divorce papers quoted her as claiming that on one occasion “He became enraged and punched me in the face. My face was bruised and swollen as a result. I thought about calling the police but was afraid and decided not to do so.”

Thomas denied all Kim’s allegations, and charged that she had made them up in order to get “a lot of money” in their divorce.

He said he was the one who filed for divorce—shades of Robert and Kris—when he discovered she was allegedly cheating on him. He claimed that her alleged philandering had occurred with “multiple guys.” One of them was identified as actor/dancer Cris Judd, ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez. Kim denied the accusations of adultery.

Moreover, Thomas claimed he paid for Kim’s extravagant shopping sprees, along with her breast implants and liposuction. He had complaints about the same kinds of expenditures that Robert Kardashian had had about Kris when he divorced her.

Kim was clearly following in her mother’s footsteps, marriage-wise. The cliché “Like mother, like daughter” fits well when comparing the two. From their history, Kim was clearly a chip off the old block. Kris even acknowledged in her memoir, “Kim and I are like twin souls.”

And as Thomas asserted, “Kim is obsessed with fame. She can’t write or sing or dance, so she does harmful things in order to validate herself in the media. That’s a fame-whore to me.”

JUST AS WITH KIM’S sex tape and the scandalous divorce, there was more tabloid drama when, a decade after Robert Kardashian’s death, his angry and emotional words about his marriage to Kris and her roles as wife, mother, and adulterer became candidly and publicly known. They ignited an explosive legal war between the Kardashians, led by Kris, against Robert’s widow, Ellen Pearson, who sold excerpts from his 1989–90 private diaries and some family photos to the publisher of several celebrity weeklies.

It was as if Kardashian were speaking from the grave.

On one page of his diary, he had written, “Imagine, if you can, a couple happily married for over 10 years, with 4 gorgeous children, and then to the husbands horror, he discovers that his wife is having an affair … Imagine his hurt, frustration, and anger, not only for himself but for their children. Imagine what effect this behavior ultimately will have on the children’s future morals … a real nightmare, isn’t it?”

At another point, Kardashian wrote that Kris’s lover, Todd Waterman, “slept in my bed” while cuckolded Kardashian’s daughter Khloé and son, Rob, were in the house. “She doesn’t care! She left [the] kids & screwed all nite.” Regarding the Christmas holiday of 1989, he claimed he “was home alone with 4 kids. I put them to bed & played w/them.”

In still another entry, Kardashian claimed that Kris pulled Kourtney’s hair and twisted her arms, and that both Kourtney and Kim were “scared and nervous, have been beat up several times before and are very, very intimidated.”

His “dear diary” references about what a horrific life he had with Kris went on and on.

Not surprisingly, the publication of Kardashian’s angry words did not go over well with the momager, who, on April 4, 2013, had her Hollywood attorney, Marty Singer, sue Pearson.

He claimed that the diaries belonged to Kris and her brood, that by selling them for “tens of thousands of dollars” the widow had infringed on the copyrights owned by the Kardashians. Moreover, Pearson had held the “private writings” and photos “in secret,” until all was published. Singer claimed that all Kardashian’s tangible personal property was meant to go to his children.

Robert’s widow, Ellen Pearson fought back.

Pearson’s lawyers claimed that the series was “predicated entirely on the revelation of private information of the most salacious variety.” Pearson claimed the Kardashians had filed their lawsuit against her because it would be part of a “carefully orchestrated aspect” of episode two from season eight of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

In that episode, according to Pearson’s lawyers, “the Kardashians repeatedly attribute highly incendiary and provocative statements about Kris Jenner’s fitness as a mother to Ellen when they were in fact made by Robert Kardashian about his ex-wife and their mother.”

Pearson’s lawyers further claimed that Robert Kardashian’s revelations in his diaries “are inconsistent with Kris’s portrayal as a loving and caring mother who puts her children first. Robert’s diaries and notes exposed Kris as a manipulative and devious mother and ex-wife who simply used and exploited her children and family.”

The copyright claim was settled in 2014. Pearson returned the diaries and photos to the Kardashians, and the Kardashians were awarded about $84,000.

The producers, Seacrest and Goldberg, surely aware of Kim Kardashian, Superstar and its XXX rating and all the buzz attached to it, bought the show on the spot.

It was a “magical moment” Kris had never forgot. When she told the family that night, Bruce was “dumbstruck,” but went along. But he had to be wondering how much he might have to reveal about himself.

Meanwhile, Kris was about to merge her roles as mom and manager. She called herself Momager.

People who knew Kris from way back when—when she really was a Kardashian through marriage to Robert—perceived that she had the kind of ambition and drive and ego that would one day bring her to this point.

Robert’s lifelong confidant Joni Migdal, pondering Kris’s success in 2016, maintained, “This was her vision of what she always wanted to do. She had a plan. She had a goal. What she’s doing now is creating her own dream. I am not surprised. I am not shocked at all. She always had the capabilities, and she just went with it.”

Keeping Up with the Kardashians had its premiere on October 14, 2007, a date that will live in television and pop culture infamy. It became a gold mine. A Hollywood fairy tale come true.

In early 2007, the freelance writer Nate Denver had never heard of Kim Kardashian, like most everyone else. It was some months before the premiere of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and just before the pornographic Kim Kardashian, Superstar was released, that Denver, in Los Angeles, received a call from his editor, Noah Callahan-Bever, at Complex magazine, in New York, assigning him to interview her.

“I remember asking who she was, and they said she was a friend of Paris Hilton, and I kind of joked, ‘So now we’re interviewing Paris Hilton’s friends?’ But they told me who her biological father was, and some of the men she was involved with. That gave me some context. But that’s the first interview I’d ever done with someone I truly was unfamiliar with,” he said

For Kim, this interview with Denver and the photos that were going to be taken were a big deal because Complex, billed as the “men’s guide to consumer culture,” was the first magazine ever to approach her and put her on the cover and make her a pin-up girl.

They arranged to meet in a West Hollywood bar in the middle of the day when she was still a virtual unknown.

Kim openly talked about herself, or so her candor seemed in that bar, revealing at one point that sometimes she referred to herself as “Princess Kim,” claimed she was an “outdoorsy sports person,” and that she and her then–bosom buddy Paris Hilton referred to themselves as seniors of a fictional “Hollywood High,” meaning they knew their way around La-La Land. “I go to parties and hang out,” she said when Denver asked her what she did for fun. But there was something very important about her past that was missing from her answers.

After Denver finished the interview, his editor telephoned and queried whether he had, by chance, asked her if there was any truth to a rumor that was circulating in media and gossip circles that she had made a porno with her lover, Ray J, and that it was soon to be released commercially.

“At the time, I had no idea that it existed,” acknowledged Denver, “so I called her back, and we set up a second interview for on the phone. She was very friendly, she said it [the tape] existed, ‘but I need to talk to my lawyer first.’

“She called me back the same day and completely denied that it existed. She said, ‘There’s no such tape. It doesn’t exist.’ She had been completely coached and was ready to deny that it existed, and gave me a completely rehearsed answer. It was silly because we had just talked a couple of minutes before and she had said she wanted to talk about it. I think the next week the tape came out.”

Robert Kardashian, Priscilla Presley and Kris Jenner:

Kris Jenner claimed that she had actually turned down Robert Kardashian’s first proposal of marriage made just “three weeks” after they had finally gotten together following her inglorious breakup with Cesar Sanudo. She asserted that Kardashian was “devastated” when she told him “no,” and that he felt she was “slamming his character” by rejecting him. And out of the blue, the way she tells it, she decided to become a flight attendant for American Airlines.

Her whole account was laughably outlandish—a truth-stretcher, if not an outright fabrication—for there were other genuine, far more serious reasons why she was forced to table her longtime dream of marriage to a well-to-do man-about-town with a Beverly Hills address and instead assume the dreary labors of a lowly stewardess trainee, living in a drab, barracks-like corporate dormitory for six weeks with strangers near the Dallas–Fort Worth Airport.

The truth is Kardashian had ended it with Kris, not the other way around. And he gave her the brush-off because he had become romantically involved with someone else.

Moreover, he felt that Kris was still too young for marriage, at least at that moment in time, and didn’t have enough worldly experience, despite her affair with Sanudo, which had started when she was just seventeen, and that Kardashian himself had helped break up.

It was while Kris was learning to schlep a drinks cart up and down a narrow aisle above the clouds that Robert Kardashian was on cloud nine, having put Kris mostly out of mind and fallen hard for another woman, and not just any woman, but rather a gorgeous divorcée with a daughter and an internationally known pedigree.

To Kris’s deep regret and extreme jealousy, the man of her current dreams was suddenly head over heels in love with the ex-wife of “the King,” Elvis Presley.

While Robert Kardashian wasn’t a kiss-and-tell kind of guy and stayed below the radar in the years before he became O. J. Simpson’s well-known mouthpiece, he couldn’t wait to tell his friends that he was involved with the former Mrs. Presley, a big-time romantic and sexual trophy for him.

“He calls me and he says, ‘Do you want to have dinner? I have a new date.’ I said, ‘Yeah, who’s that?’ He says, ‘Priscilla Presley.’ I said, ‘Yeah, go fuck yourself. What are you talking about, Priscilla Presley?’

He says, ‘No, seriously, we met, we hooked up!’ So, we went and had dinner, and Priscilla couldn’t have been sweeter, couldn’t have been nicer,” recalled Larry Kraines, one of Kardashian’s closest friends.

Kraines, his wife, Joyce—his second marriage—and Robert and Priscilla became an instant fun foursome.

“We went to football games, Sunday football games regularly. We went to dinner. She was such a normal person, you’d never know who the hell she was—that she had been Elvis fucking Presley’s wife,” Kraines said, still seemingly awed years later.

Cindy Spallino found Kris in an entirely different state of mind regarding Robert Kardashian than the scenario painted years later by Kris in her memoir, which she expected readers to take at face value and believe.

It was clear to Cindy that Kris was “desperate” to marry Kardashian— “I knew she wanted to marry him, but I also knew from her that Priscilla Presley was there in the background.” Cindy also was aware from Kris that Kardashian thought she was too young to take a chance on her to be his wife and the mother of his children, because he wanted a big family.

“Kris talked nonstop about Robert when we were in training,” Cindy said. “She told me he was very funny, very charming, very classy, just rock solid, but she never mentioned his looks, never mentioned that he was handsome, or sexy.”

Nor did she disclose anything about her relationship with Cesar Sanudo and how it had scandalously ended when he had caught her with Kardashian. “She was probably too embarrassed to reveal that,” Cindy believed. “But she told me she was immediately drawn to Robert. She didn’t use the word ‘attracted.’ But she used the word ‘drawn.’”

And even though Kardashian was involved with Priscilla Presley, Kris was constantly calling him long-distance.

“We didn’t have phones in our rooms, and the phone was a pay phone in the hall, and Kris would call Robert every night, feeding quarters into the phone,” Cindy recalled.

Kris’s biggest concern, was Elvis’s ex-wife. “Kris would just say, ‘He’s seeing her. He’s awfully close to her. I really don’t know the nature of the relationship.’ But she was very concerned. She was more threatened by it in terms of their potential future together. She felt that even if they weren’t together, if Priscilla was free, Robert would choose to go there.

She just felt Priscilla Presley was a potential threat to any future Kris would have with Robert. And Kris knew that if Robert could have a life with Priscilla that he would choose that over her.”

The other issue that caused Kardashian to cool it with Kris, Cindy understood, was Kris’s age. While Kardashian was sexually attracted to Kris, he thought she was too young—almost a dozen years younger—to get serious enough about to marry, at least then, and especially with Priscilla Presley in the picture.

“Kris said that Robert had been taking it too slow with her,” recalled Cindy. “Kris was twenty, twenty-one, and her youth was part of the problem with Robert. Kris told me, ‘He’s taking it so slow, too slow,’ and I said, ‘Kris, you’re only twenty, twenty-one, you haven’t lived as much as he has.’ We had this conversation, Kris and I, that ‘maybe Robert feels that you need to live a little bit more before you’re ready to settle down.’ But she thought she was ready.”

It was also clear to Cindy that Robert Kardashian represented a whole new way of life for Kris—a moneyed way of life, one that she desperately wanted.

“Kris’s mom was a single mom who, until she remarried, struggled to support the family, and Kris knew what that meant,” observed Cindy. “And Kris never wanted to struggle like her mom struggled. Kris wanted financial security. She knew that she was beautiful enough to have that, that wealthy men were very drawn to her, so that the dating pool included financial security for her. She liked nice things in life, and wanted them. She wanted romance and she knew she could be wined and dined. Cesar had done it, Robert had done it, and she loved that.”

While the only man she ever talked about to Cindy was Robert Kardashian, with whom she wanted marriage and lots of kids, other men desired her, too.

When the opportunity arose, Kris would accept a dinner date with an attractive, well-heeled stranger on a plane. “We didn’t have any money,” said Cindy, “so if somebody wanted to take us out to dinner, it was just fine."

she noted: “All men were drawn to Kris because she was so beautiful. Wealthy men who could have their pick of women were attracted and drawn to her. But so were poor men, so were pilots, so were other flight attendants. They were attracted to her, and wanted to get to know her. ‘Hitting on her’ is not a word that I would use, but probably they did. Men would flirt with her. I saw that, oh, yes. I would walk through an airport with her and heads would turn because she was totally stunning, and photographs did not do her justice. Men were attracted to her always.”

Because of their friendship, however, they volunteered to fly the same flights together, but Kris flew back to L.A. as often as she could in order to try to win back Kardashian from Priscilla Presley.

When Robert and Priscilla became an item, Tom Kardashian was a bit jealous.

“Pissed doesn’t even cover Tommy’s reaction when Bob won the Presley prize,” observed a longtime friend of both brothers. “It caused sibling tensions, the old brotherly rivalry.”

Looking back to that time in 2015, however, Tom Kardashian had long ago resigned himself to the fact that Priscilla had chosen his brother over him. He thought she could be too controlling.

“Priscilla really changed a lot of my brother’s thinking of how he should dress, how he should even drive, and what he should do—and she changed him easily because she was so attractive, and so she had a lot of influence on him,” he maintained. “She could tell him something and he would listen. But I also realized that the women in my brother’s life were strong, and he listened to Kris, and to some of the other girls he was involved with, or he would play second fiddle to them.”

Kardashian and Priscilla never actually lived in the same house during their year-long, sometimes rocky relationship. Some believed it was because Robert’s best friend, O. J. Simpson, then playing for the Buffalo Bills, often camped out and partied at the Kardashian brothers’ Beverly Hills bachelor pad—friends called them “the Three Musketeers,” especially when the Juice was on the outs with his wife Marguerite Whitely Simpson.

Still, Robert Kardashian and Priscilla Presley were having some great times together while stewardess Kris Houghton literally stewed, believing she had forever lost him to Elvis’s ex.

Of Priscilla, Kris enviously observed, “She was gorgeous, of course, petite and perfect … I would see pictures of her and just die … [but] deep in my heart I was still hoping that Robert would end up being the guy for me.”

Meanwhile, it was a Sisyphean task for Kardashian to convince Priscilla to marry him, which he desperately wanted. But he was up against the King, who still loomed large in Priscilla and Lisa Marie’s lives. At one point, Kardashian complained to a friend that while he was making love to Priscilla, she would get incoherent phone calls from Elvis “and she would put the receiver on the pillow between them and let him listen.”

Larry Kraines recalls Kardashian telling him that Priscilla was “terrific and nice, ‘but this guy Elvis doesn’t stop controlling her,’ didn’t want her going with anybody because they had Lisa Marie, and Elvis was very involved in that. Robert was very bothered by all of that. So one thing led to another and I guess Robert just felt that he couldn’t take the pressure that Elvis was putting on Priscilla, and he basically broke it off and said, ‘This isn’t going to work,’ and that was that.”

But Kardashian’s friends were hearing only one side of the story.

In fact, it was Priscilla who would eventually end it with Kardashian, There was little time left in their relationship for any more Kardashian domesticity tests, because Priscilla was honest with him and made it clear that marriage wasn’t in the cards.

She told him, “Look, I’m not going to marry anyone until Elvis dies.”

And that was the end for Robert Kardashian with Priscilla Presley.

IN 1976, AMERICA’S BICENTENNIAL YEAR, a few odd coincidences occurred involving some of the principals in the Kardashian drama.

Kris Houghton, based in New York for American Airlines, heard from Robert that he and Priscilla had broken up. She was joyous. And Kardashian’s pal O. J. Simpson had gotten hired by ABC Sports to be one of the Summer Olympics commentators in Montreal, where a young athlete by the name of Bruce Jenner was on the U.S. team, competing in the decathlon.

Kardashian and O.J. made plans to go to Montreal for the games with a stopover in New York, and Robert asked Kris to meet them and pick up where they had left off before Priscilla had come into his life. The threesome—Kris, Kardashian, and O.J.—checked into a suite at the Plaza Hotel, shopped, dined, and partied at Studio 54.

And when Jenner won the gold medal, all of America, including Kardashian and O.J., was excited, except for Kris “Who’s Bruce Jenner?” she asked.

Kardashian had started seeing Kris again, with her hopes high that they would be married. They were having dinner with Robert’s friends the Kraineses when they heard the news that Elvis had died, a death that shocked the entire world. But Kris, who knew that Priscilla wasn’t going to commit to marry until after Elvis’s passing, was again concerned that she’d lose Robert to the Presley widow.

That concern was magnified ten times when Kardashian immediately got up from the table and placed a private call to Priscilla. In her memoir, Kris said she worried for some months whether Robert and Priscilla Presley would get back together.

But virtually to the day of the first anniversary of Presley’s death her worries ended. She and Robert would be married.

Elvis's girlfriend Linda Thompson’s would marry Bruce Jenner in January 1981.

And Kris Houghton Kardashian, a decade later, in 1991, would marry Jenner, even before her and Robert Kardashian’s signatures were dry on their divorce papers.

Does anyone else wonder if this adult porn tape is the ONLY reason Kim K became an almost billionaire?

I not for one second begrudge her success, but I think those girls went through hell with a pretty heartless mother who viewed each and everyone of them as data points for the measurement of profit margins.

People like her will do ANYTHING when they’re broke.

Good for Kris. She gets everything in the end, because she sold a tape of her daughter getting banged from behind! 👍🏽

And of course many here will praise this ingenuity, as they sold themselves in the same manner at one point or another, or their parents did.

I haven’t so far been able to find the original Daily Mail article I read a while back that goes into much more detail about how Kris’ mother Mary Jo (who the Kardashian’s call “MJ” instead of “Grandma”—which is interesting because someone noted upthread that the K’s called their mom “Kris” instead “Mom” until the second season season of the TV show or something...) was basically trying to pimp out Kris as a teen to rich men, but I *was* able to find this Page Six article from 2017 that at least mentions Kris and her mom’s dynamic and how a friend of Kris as a teen said that “her mom was basically pimping her out” in hopes she would marry a wealthy man.

From the article:

“Born in 1955, Kristen “Kris” Houghton came from “redneck” roots and was raised in San Diego by her tough-as-nails maternal grandmother after her alcoholic father left when she was 7.

By 12th grade, Kris wasn’t dreaming about prom or college, but looking for a man — a rich one. High school pal Joan Zimmerman thought Kris’ mom, Mary Jo, was “kind of pimping her out” when the 17-year-old started a relationship with golf pro Cesar Sanudo, who was more than 10 years her senior.

That ended when Kris met Robert — who thought the teenager looked like a young Natalie Wood, despite a necklace that read “OH, S – – T” — at a horse-racing track and cheated on her boyfriend with him.

As Jack Spradlin, a friend of Sanudo’s, said: “[Kris] saw a far better financial opportunity with Kardashian than with Cesar.”

Some Elvis fans like to pat Linda Thompson on the back for not doing much reality TV. In fact, she and David Foster starred with the Jenner sons on 'Princes of Malibu' before the Kardashians were known to anyone. Kim and Kourtney are actually seen in this ep as background players at a pool party. The show ran for about x4 eps before Fox yanked it. Linda and David divorced soon after and then David found--wait for it--Yolanda Lemons Hadid. Indeed, it really all is rather incestuous.

This is a surprisingly interesting thread & Kardashian seems like a pitiable figure, but wasn't he linked to destroying evidence (OJ's bloody clothes) following the murder? I also don't buy that he stayed with OJ out of loyalty; he never really represented him so much as he was part of his lawyer entourage. He probably assumed (like his daughters) that any publicity was good publicity, only to have it blow up in his face.

Interesting about Priscilla & that she was banking on Elvis kicking the bucket early

I wonder what happened to Rob Jr. to turn him into such a loser; the sisters certainly have their own problems, but at least appear to be functioning adults. Rob just seems like a sad mess like his old man.

I feel sorry for Rob, he seems to be a good hearted guy who never got the chance to survive in this sick family. He should remove himself from this family and start over a new life for himself far away from his garbage family.

Khloé 's father:

Kris claimed she got pregnant with Khloé Alexandra Kardashian while on a European vacation with her husband in September 1983. After Kourtney and Kim, “Robert and I decided it was time to have another baby. We conceived again in Italy,” she asserted in her memoir some years after her ex-husband was no longer around.

And Kris said much less about the conception and birth of Khloé on June 27, 1984, compared to how she elaborated about Kourtney’s, Kim’s, and Rob’s entrances into the world.

However, Kris did note one important fact: Khloé “looked different.”

When Khloé got old enough, people in the Kardashians’ circle began to notice just how different she really did look and raised questions. Kris would explain away the suspicions by saying that Khloé looked like her maternal great-grandmother, Lou Ethel Fairbanks. And Robert’s friend Joni Migdal recalled how Robert would shrug off their suspicions and claim that Khloé looked just like his mother, Helen, who was Armenian but didn’t have Armenian features

However, when the Kardashians became famous, questions arose in the tabloid and gossip media about whether the late Robert Kardashian, who had divorced Khloé’s mother because of her philandering, was really the girl’s biological father.

Even Khloé’s half sister Kylie Jenner, fourteen years old and already with a fashion line, jumped on the “Who’s Khloé’s Real Father?” bandwagon when she caustically posted a photo online of then twenty-seven-year-old Khloé with Alex Roldan, who reportedly cut and styled Kris’s hair and that of a number of women in her Beverly Hills circle. Kylie wrote: “First official photo of my sister and her dad! Like father like daughter!”

by Anonymousreply 188September 6, 2022 4:24 PM

Rumors about Kris and Roldan—he and Khloé actually did look alike—had been making the gossip rounds seemingly forever. Khloé termed false all the salacious chatter about Roldan, and Kylie subsequently tweeted, “It was a joke everyone! Lol!”

Another whisper was that Khloé was the illegitimate daughter of O. J. Simpson after stories circulated that Kris and the Juice had had an affair.

Long before Kylie’s snarky comment, however, the two women who Kardashian married after he divorced Kris—the first Jan Ashley; the second Ellen Pearson—went public in the celebrity press, stating that Kardashian had told them that Khloé was not his.

As Kardashian’s longtime friend and minister, Kenn Gulliksen, put it, “Kris and Robert had four children. Well, they had three kids and somebody else’s kid. Bob never asked my counsel, but I simply heard from him that Khloé wasn’t his biological daughter. He gave me no names of who he thought the father was. But I certainly know it wasn’t O.J.

“Bob just was very straightforward. We were simply having a conversation about everything he’d been through. It was my strong impression from him that he loved Khloé very much but he said it in a way that implied ‘she’s not my blood daughter,’ meaning his biological daughter. That was the implication.”

“My understanding from him was that he and Kris hadn’t had sex during the period of time they would have had to have had sex when Khloé was conceived. And there were other things that I know he kept to himself about all of that, things he didn’t talk about. He was obviously wanting to protect his family.”

Larry Kraines said he was at the hospital when every one of the Kardashian kids were born, and when the issue of Khloé’s conception came up, Kardashian’s only response was, “‘It’s all bullshit.’ And that’s the way he wanted to handle it.”

Joni Migdal said that she and Kardashian talked about the Khloé situation often. “But he was unwilling to take a DNA test.” Such tests were first available in 1985, when Khloé was a year old.

When Migdal first saw Khloé and noticed how different she looked from the rest of the Kardashian family, she kept her mouth zipped.

“I just didn’t say a word. What was I supposed to say? I had two children of my own. I didn’t think it was appropriate to mention her looks, so I didn’t say anything.”

“Robert would joke around and say the father was probably the swimming pool man,” recalled Migdal. “But Robert was not angry, because he didn’t care. He said, ‘Whatever she is [ethnically], whoever her father is, whatever has happened, she is my child.’ He made a decision that no matter who Khloé’s father was that Robert was going to love her as his own, and it was all done. That was his decision. It was the honorable way of doing it, and the respectful way.

“He didn’t want a DNA test done, he didn’t want to find out anything. He told me, ‘I love Khloé. She’s wonderful. She’s mine, period.’ But he knew she wasn’t his. His confirmation to me was, ‘she’s mine and I don’t care who the father is.’”

WHILE ROBERT KARDASHIAN ACCEPTED his third daughter, Khloé, as his own, and loved her as his own, he felt tortured thinking that his wife of six years, Kris, had made a baby allegedly with another man.

Kylie sounds like a bitch for even joking about that. Paternity has got to be a sore spot for Khloe.

Khloe has gotten worse over the years. She started out as the cool and kind person that people trusted. Now, she's baby mama 1 out of 3, never married. Yes, rich women like her don't need to get married, but I think it's important to *her*, personally.

Khloe seems to just follow and do whatever Kim does, e.g., remove butt implants.

Rob Jr. got played by Blac Chyna, the baby's mother of Tyga. Tyga dated Kylie when Kylie was really young (and I guess ditched BC in the process). Blac Chyna got Rob Jr. to impregnate her. They're no longer a couple. In a way, well played by BC.

She used to seem to have some self awareness & a sense of humor (and a skeptical view of her mother), but she's morphed herself into...who knows what. Yeah, I'm sure that life in the spotlight can be cruel, but at some point, why do it at all? She seemed like she really want a kid & that guy basically just a sperm donor, not a real thing.

In what world is hiding evidence of a murder "sticking up for his friend"? And he helped his murderous friend because he thought it would bring him fame and fortune? This guy's desperation for fame rivals his ex-wife's. Guess their kids had little chance of being normal people....materialism and attention-seeking runs through their veins.

Wasn't it speculated at the time that Kardashian was added to OJ's "legal team" as a way to potentially keep him from testifying against OJ (I think that was Toobin's theory, though I may be wrong).

As far as Kendall goes, she's the real natural beauty of the bunch, but by all accounts, she seems like a nightmare of a person

I don't remember hearing that, but it sounds likely. He reactivated his law license so he could assist OJ's legal team. The day after the murders he was seen removing a garment bag from OJ's house and it was never seen again. It was suspected to contain Simpson's bloody clothes and the murder weapon. Seems that would damage the family name but it didn't, probably because Kris was already remarried and not as associated with him by then.
