Kardashians in the Media

This gives Kim an out. She will not have to explain why she didn't pass the bar or her pending divorce to Kanye. Tristan is a famewhore so he might duck out after the show ends. Poor Khloe. Kourtney can go to her corner now and bitch about her life while ordering around her assistants. 

I think E cancelled them. Either that, or they couldn't find enough K kids to film. Kylie rarely films. Kendal is traveling. Kob Rob hasn't participated much and Kourtney can't show up without complaining about having to sit for glam. Scott is in and out of rehab and the show cannot be healthy for him. Only Khloe and Kim understand that the show has made them rich. 

I hope that E brings them back in ten years for a reunion show so we can see their post surgery faces and bodies ten years later.

I don't think any of us are surprised.

Kourt can finally go live on a farm somewhere and grow zucchini and hydrangeas or something.

The trashiness that is Khloe will come out in force.  Her career was the show. She hasn't done anything else and has shown no interest in anything else. Without glam and magazine covers, there's not much there.  Tristan will leave her as soon as the camera  turns off.

Kendall will contine modeling as long as possible.  Probably more print and consumer over runway and fashion, but she has enough of a legitimate career in that world to keep going.  

Kylie will stay in makeup and be mommy to Stormi. I bet she and Travis get back together.

And Kim -- honestly, I wouldn't underestimate Kim.  She's not going anywhere and I suspect her next plans involve something in the legal or advocacy worlds full time.  She may or may not pass the bar.  But she will be out there for something more legitimate than T&A.  I think she is just as shrewd as her mother, and she is not saying goodbye without a clear plan ahead. Where Kanye fits in I am not so sure he does.  He wants to start a cult and run for president.  Kim wants to be a lawyer and advocate for prison reform on a national level.  Those things don't fit.  And onlu one of them has a reasonable and dare-I-say admirable goal.

One of our long national nightmares is over! And I think Kimmy will always be mostly tits and ass to millions of people, no matter what else she tries to do.

[GaT]

I think Kim was the one who pulled the plug, without her they don't have a show. I would not be surprised if this is the only way she can get rid of Kanye quietly, wait until they stop filming, then divorce him. I would also not be surprised if after that there was a new version of the show centered around her.

And her struggle to be a single Mom to 4 kids, while doing advocacy work and the occasional T&A shoot.  Other family members without anything to do will drop by for high jinks.

[nexxie]

All of them have enough money for life if they’ve invested well - but I wonder which current businesses (make-up, clothing, lifestyle, modeling) will survive without the show. 

[Magog]

Somewhere out there, Joel McHale is very happy. He is the only reason for me to even tolerate that wretched show & family. To me, watching this crap gives me brain cramps. 

Also somewhere out there, that idiot Ryan Seacrest is crying in a corner.

She can make a career out of mouthing off on Instagram & Twitter, bringing even more fugliness to herself, shaming & humiliating True on a daily basis, & being a sad excuse of a mother. Tristan has left her sorry ass mentally.

She is beyond useless. If she has a modeling career as long as Naomi Campbell, I will be shocked.

There is nothing shrewd about Kim. Kim wishes she has the brains & the savviness of her mother.  She will be similar to the bedbugs. They're both a nuisance, repulsive, & they just won't go away. Plus, that revolting Daily Mail will still report on her stupid ass & that family. Also, both Kim & Kanye are going to fail in their goals.

I really believe KUWTK being gone wont make much of a dent in terms of the Kardashians visibility.  The show has been Irrelevant with shit ratings for years. These people have massive followings on social media and are getting more exposure on there than on cable tv. They arent going to suddenly lose their fanbases or drop off the face of the earth entirely. If anything we will see less made up for the sake of ratings bullshit drama. I said a long time ago I thought Kim started showing interest in prison reform as something to fall back on for when she wouldn't be in the spotlight as much. And divorcing Kanye I can't see the show playing a part in it. Even with KUWTK off the air there is no way her and Kanye divorcing wouldnt be plastered all over media and rags.

I agree.  They will never really truly go away.  They will still be here.  Forever.  I will still run into at least 2 or 3 articles or pictures of them on the daily whenever I am online, even though I never, ever go looking for them.  And yet, there they are.  😒  I was going to make a virus analogy but if feels a little too on the nose to do so.

That and the ratings have been steadily dropping so I suspect a bit of quit while we’re still somewhat ahead.  It also must be hard to pull off a family show when half of them either don’t or don’t want to participate.  I don’t imagine there’s much sadness in their departure, they are barely watchable imo.  I do hope Kim drops Kanye and I think she would be supported by most if she does.  That may be the utimate decision and protecting the kids from that by not exposing it all TV

She's still showing plenty of T&A on her IG posts selling her SKIMS undergarments line. She just has to have that sex angle working for her or she's not happy. Her ads are ridiculous but I'm sure she's making a ton of dough off them.

This. And ONLY this is the reason why they're stopping the slow.

If the influence was still there with the show, none of them would be going anywhere -- they've gotten to where they are by being opportunistic -- their BS reasons are just that. Kris is a lot of things -- dumb is not one of them -- that woman knows how to control a narrative, and that's exactly what is happening here. 

Bottom line is that the ratings aren't there anymore so they are moving on. Full stop.

[laurakaye]

I will be very sad when my fave podcast, Kardishin' It, ends.  I don't watch KUWTK anymore but the podcast is hilarious.

I need to see Pimp Momma K on RHOBH.  She would blend in perfectly - she could fill the void left by Lisa Vanderpump.  And she loves to drink, which is mostly what those women do anyway.

[nexxie]

From Cosmopolitan:

Kris Jenner Ended ‘KUWTK’ After Kim and Kylie Threatened to Quit, Leaving Khloé and Scott “Upset”

“Who knows how Scott will make money now that the show is being canceled?”

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a33977997/scott-disick-khloe-kardashian-upset-kuwtk/

Have to say, I did wonder how Scott would pay for his private jet trips - maybe Kylie will subsidize the family’s habit using her own jet. And who knows how well Khloe’s clothing co. will do?!

Edited September 10, 2020 by nexxie

[Emily-D]

Have to wonder what this means for the E Network going forward. KUWTK was still their highest rated show by quite a margin. They probably have about two other shows that get good ratings and after that they have nothing. Will they survive?

[sATL]

late to the party.

I'm glad the show will over - I only kept up by watching reruns when nothing else is on... it' time to move on.. but like with alot of shows that end, they try to comeback in some kind of spin-off. So unless E is going way too, I think something will eventually pop off - if only for a 1-3 season or special.

I wonder what kind of finale are they planning - some series finales are better in the ratings the the season(s) that lead up to the end ( thinking about MASH - "Amen, Farewell, and Goodbye". )

 the family has been on TV for so long there really isn't much left to talk about/show in the adult lives and it allows the kids (who are approaching tween years) to be kids.  Most of the adults have aged out (or there is a newer relevant competitor) of what they are known for - Scott is getting too old to be just be making "appearances" at some club. Kendall needs to make all of $$ she can now, as she too is getting up there to be the hottest international runway model. I also think their hard-core followers have grown-up and moved on - just how long can you cater to the 20-something year old crowd, who are now approaching 40 - good for the girdle line Kim is pimping.

As for possibilities for a mini-series spin-off:

• I do wonder though if Khole would try to have another child by Tristian or some other NBA-baller. I wouldn't think she would want True to be an only child.  Looking back after Lamar, I would have left the entire NBA league prospects of men alone. Hell there are men in other pro sports leagues, if that is her thing.  I'll give it to Khole - she's done a good job bringing her sidekick friends twins (malika/kadajah ) to get a small paycheck all of these years. I still can't tell those two apart
• I think Kim will finish and follow through with the lawyer career change.  If other celebrity-lawyers managed to pass the bar, so will she. When she it announced - I felt that was the beginning of end of the show and she is thinking about her next steps. I missed the back story of her filing for divorce. Last I heard Kanye was suing some poor state for not getting on the presidential ballot for November - which I have no sympathy for, as we all have missed deadlines and lost out. Run in 2024 (or any other office in 2022) and be on time with the application. 
• Kris marries Corey.  Kendall marries xxx . E and Bravo love mini-series on someone getting married

As far as Ryan S. - hopefully the freed up time (and need to make up for lost income) will make him take a bigger/producer role in "Kelly and Ryan Live" morning show. I'm not the biggest fan of Kelly (she talks about her family entirely too damm much) and I think Ryan could bring a more level of realism to that show. He tried a little when they were quarantined - I saw a non-Hollywood side of him in his style and commentary.

Anybody know how MJs is doing? I just watched the re-run of the Bali trip where Kris stayed back in CA to keep an eye on her.

I think she will do it even more to prove she's still "HOT". She will not take aging with grace. Especially when she has 2 sisters still in their 20's. Nope, Kimmy will have to show she's still got it.

[howmanywords]

I really dont get why Kim is still the one to be singled out for trying to act hot. Kylie is worse and posts completely trashy pics constantly. And Kourtney is just as bad, probably worse. At least Kim is showing T&A for the benefit of selling something. Kourtney is 41 and does nothing but post bikini pics. They are ALL showing desperation.

 So because she has "done porn" (taped herself having sex with Ray J) she is forever a slut I guess.  This is the problem I have with so many people who just HAAAATE the Kardashians.  Hate them for their cultural appropriation or selling weight loss tea on Instagram.  But shit like this just strikes me as misogyny based and a really cheap attack.  And the Kardashians are far from the only female celebrities posing constantly in states of undress, but I guess it is only enraging when a "slut" like Kim does it.  Whatever.

THIS! Also i refuse to believe that the amatur porn/sex tape wasn't leaked on purpose. Because if you recall celebrity amatur porn/sex tapes were the "popular thing" granted Paris Hilton and Tommy Lee and Pamela's tapes were leaked/sold and those persons caught charges. 

I do not care for this family, I was mildly curious about them because I knew of the Kardashian name due to the OJ trial but a few seasons in i was already over them. But the outright hate that people have for these folks is a little disturbing IMO like yes i can see dislike, but hate to someone you've never met personally, nor had any interactions, or acquaintance. 

Plus sex work it WORK, it does not make them a "slut" or mean they deserve to be treated less than for their JOB.

[howmanywords]

Wow glad to see others saying what I have been thinking for a while.

Funny thing is Kim gets labeled a slut for something she did 18 years ago (lord knows I wouldnt want to be judged for stuff I did back then) but has managed to be the only one who can keep a man for the last 8 years. Yeah Kanye is a mess you dont hear about either of them screwing around.

Big time.  Yeah I will never be a fan but I save outright hate for people who have considerably hurt me and my family.

[Hiyo]

I feel people can be justified in hating Kim and her own family. 
 

Kim isn’t a slut for the home-made porn videos release. Just an idiot.

But hey, good for Kim and Kris for jumpstarting the family’s career, like any decent social climbing famewhores would. Wait, are we still allowed to call them famewhores?

But are they still FameWhores when they are pretty damn famous dispute not having any particular talent or skill to make them famous. IMO a Famewhore is someone will will do ANYTHING  to be famous and the Kardashian-Jenner's have definitely elevated themselves to a pretty high ranking status so they aren't at the bottom of the ladder trying to get a come up. 

Their "friends" are the true FameWhores because they are looking for the come up and are leeching off of their proximity and name of the family

[Hiyo]

Not only would I still call them famewhores, they would all be deans at Famewhore University, with Kris being the president of the university.

[BrainyBlonde]

Caitlyn posted a surprisingly nice and introspective tribute to "the end of an era" aka Keeping Up with the Kardashians signing off next year. It's interesting to hear her say so many positive things about the show, her experience on it, and how it was such a great thing for their family. She always seemed so miserable on KUWTK! I guess maybe it doesn't seem so bad in retrospect now that she's living the life she always wanted to and the show did set her kids up well.

I mean, you can call them whatever you want.  I'm just pointing out the fairly obvious misogyny that comes across in a lot of posts (everywhere, not just here) from people who seem to hate these women with such a passion.  I think they are famewhores too!  But Kim making a sex tape doesn't get me as worked up as some people, I guess.

I think the hate that they are “famous for having no talent” , “famous for doing porn”, “famous for showing their tits and ass”is out and out jealousy that they did it first, they did it better than anyone else and they actually managed to move on into somewhat legitimate businesses. Granted they were strongly aided by the growth of social media at just the right time, but kudos to them for knowing how to use and optimize those media outlets.

 

am I a fan?  No. Their vocal tics drive me insane and made it impossible to actually watch the show, but Kim was pretty and animated when she was with Reggie and I find her a sad shell of that person. An example of selling her soul for success. Khloé is unrecognizable. Kourtney and Scott May have been able to make a go of it without the show, be that a positive or negative. Kendall very well may have gone into modeling like so many famous offspring. The tragedies of the family are rob and Kylie. They had so much personality in those first couple of seasons. Now? They are pitiable. Hopefully the end of the show will bring a sense of reality back to their lives...actual reality if possible.

Frankly, I don't even know about how much of a so called slut Kim even is.  I can think of waaaayy more boyfriends someone like Jennifer Aniston or Cameron Diaz have dated and ostensibly slept with, are they huge sluts too?  Kim has been with that Jackson family member who was her first boyfriend, that ex husband Damon whatever, Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries, and Kanye.  Sometimes it seems like the problem people have is that Kim is sleeping with Black men, although I mean "people" in general, not trying to accuse the posters on this board in particular.

[Hiyo]

I was merely commenting when you replied to @DangerousMinds’s comment (see above).

You seemed to imply Kim was being slut shamed for being called out for making a porn video or trying to look hot. Thats all.

Yes - normally the law degree came first... JFK Jr was on my mind in that it seemed he was more interested in other pursuits than practicing the law and it took him a couple of attempts to pass the NY bar. I also was referring to athletes - I thought someone else, besides Steve Young, in the NFL had a law degree too. I know the Chiefs have a linesman who has an MD degree - he took off this season to help with COVID.
