It appears that Kris Jenner, often seen as the mastermind behind the Kardashian empire, is facing multiple controversies that could potentially shake her standing. Recently, rumors have circulated that Kris may be entangled in scandals linked to figures like Diddy, with allegations suggesting involvement in shady dealings that reportedly include her daughter Kim Kardashian. These rumors point to claims that Kris might have encouraged Kim’s association with Diddy’s infamous social circles. Whether this has any factual basis or not, the speculation alone has drawn significant attention.
Adding to her troubles, Hulu has reportedly canceled The Kardashians, a major hit for the streaming platform and a core part of the family’s public influence. On top of this, Kris is reportedly under scrutiny from the IRS. Allegations claim she may have engaged in tax evasion by utilizing her California Community Church as a loophole to avoid taxes, not only for herself but also for her children. Since the church was founded in 2009, some critics suggest its purpose may have been financial rather than spiritual. The church’s practice of tithing—where members are encouraged to donate a percentage of their earnings—has raised eyebrows given Kris’s known practice of taking 10% of her children’s earnings as their manager.
Over the years, the Kardashian family’s financial dealings have often raised suspicion, and Kim Kardashian has been no exception. Despite being labeled a billionaire, Kim’s business practices have come under fire, particularly when Forbes retracted her billionaire status due to alleged inflation of her wealth tied to Kylie Cosmetics. Kim also faced a fine by the SEC for promoting EthereumMax on Instagram without disclosing it as a paid ad. Her continued social media promotions have fueled doubt among critics who believe she may not be as wealthy as she appears.
In the past, Kim’s financial controversies date back to her time working as a stylist for Brandy, when Kim and her siblings reportedly misused Brandy’s credit card, allegedly taking $120,000 for purchases at their own clothing stores, Dash and Smooch. Although Brandy’s family initially attempted to resolve the issue privately, they eventually filed a lawsuit before choosing to settle outside court. Another past controversy links Kim to a Malaysian businessman, Jho Low, who was later implicated in a large-scale money laundering scheme, raising additional questions about the family’s financial entanglements.
These controversies contribute to a growing perception that Kris Jenner’s control over her family’s empire might be waning. Whether or not these claims hold up under scrutiny, the stakes are high, as public opinion could ultimately determine the future of the Kardashian brand.
