Caitlyn Jenner seemingly burnt bridges with her former family during the Season 5 premiere of Hulu.
On Thursday’s “The Kardashians, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Scott Disick discussed their estranged relationship with Caitlyn, 74.
In a scene filmed in the fall of 2023, the trio reacted to Caitlyn’s involvement in the “House of Kardashian” docuseries, aired last year without the family’s participation.
“There is this new documentary about our family, and apparently, whoever has been calling people who have either once been in our lives or are in our lives to do the documentary has not agreed to do it—except for Caitlyn,” Khloé, 39, says in a confessional.
Khloé, Kris, 68, and Scott, 40, watched part of the documentary where Caitlyn discusses Kim Kardashian. An unnamed woman’s voice in the doc remarks that Kris “wanted to be more than just a Housewife,” which provokes a reaction from the momager. “Shoot me.
I wanted to be more than just a Housewife. Okay, so? Kill me,” Kris responds.
Caitlyn was married to Kris for 22 years, from 1991 to 2015, before Caitlyn came out as trans in 2015. They had two children together: Kylie, 26, and Kendall, 28.
Khloé notes in her confessional that while her ex-stepdad “is completely free to do whatever she wants,” she finds it “strange” that Caitlyn would participate in a project that she imagines “isn’t trying to paint us in the most beautiful light.” She adds, “I just know she wouldn’t like that about her.”
Kim, on the other hand, is less bothered by Caitlyn’s actions. “I got so many text messages saying, ‘Doesn’t that hurt your feelings that this is what your stepdad says about you?’ It honestly doesn’t,” the SKIMS founder explains.
“I had such a great stepdad who raised me, so none of those things that are said, even if twisted or whatever, are gonna make me think differently of the life I had.”
Scott defends Kris, stating, “People have pointed fingers at her over the years as if she was the one that instigated being mean or being unkind or being this or being that or not understanding.” Khloé interjects, “People didn’t. Caitlyn did. Caitlyn always made you look like that.”
Khloé admits she’s disappointed in Caitlyn because they were so close during Kris and her marriage. “This was my dad for 24 years.
It hurts me too,” she says. Reflecting on their bond, she recalls, “I was very close with Bruce.
I used to lay in bed with him and watch ‘Unsolved Mysteries and all this stuff all the time.”
Caitlyn had previously defended her involvement with “House of Kardashian” when the docuseries premiered last October.
“I was happy to participate in the interview process to share my side, which points to the strength, influence, and prowess my family has in captivating the world’s attention and keeping it over the years,” she said.
During press for the documentary, Caitlyn revealed that she no longer speaks to her ex-wife. “Kris, I never talk to anymore,” she said on a UK daytime show. “If there’s any communication, my manager talks to her.” Caitlyn also expressed sadness about the state of her relationship with Kris.
