The Kardashians recently addressed Caitlyn Jenner’s participation in the tell-all docuseries, House of Kardashian, during the Season 5 premiere of their show. In a conversation with Scott Disick, Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian express their frustration with Caitlyn’s decision to participate in the documentary. Khloé explains that while no one else in the family agreed to be a part of it, Caitlyn did.
Sitting at Disick’s kitchen table, the trio watches the trailer for the documentary, which includes a voiceover saying, “Kris wanted to be more than just a housewife.” Kris responds sarcastically, expressing her annoyance at the portrayal. Disick points out that Caitlyn has always made Kris look like the bad guy, even though Kris had gone out of her way to help Caitlyn after their divorce.
Khloé adds her perspective, revealing her close bond with Bruce (Caitlyn). She shares memories of laying in bed with him and watching shows together. In her confessional, Khloé further discusses her feelings about Caitlyn’s participation in the documentary. She finds it strange that Caitlyn would agree to be a part of something that may not paint the family in the best light. Khloé believes Caitlyn wouldn’t appreciate it if the documentary portrayed her negatively either.
On the other hand, Kim Kardashian seems less affected by the controversy. She reveals that she received many text messages asking if Caitlyn’s comments hurt her. However, Kim explains that she had a great stepdad who raised her well, and nothing said in the documentary can change her view of the life she had.
Caitlyn had previously mentioned that she did not consult the family before deciding to be a part of the series. However, she explained her reasons for getting involved. She expressed disappointment with how the family is often portrayed in the media and saw this as an opportunity to represent them in a positive light.
It’s clear that the Kardashians have different reactions to Caitlyn’s participation in the documentary. While some, like Khloé, find it strange and potentially damaging to their image, others, like Kim, are less bothered by it. Each family member has their own perspective based on their personal experiences. The Season 5 premiere sets the stage for how the family will navigate the repercussions of Caitlyn’s decision throughout the rest of the season. Fans can catch new episodes of The Kardashians every Thursday on Hulu.
