Kim Kardashian might be thinking about stepping away from her family’s reality show The Kardashians, and it’s reportedly making her mother
Kris Jenner very anxious.
According to a report from In Touch, Kim’s growing business empire and recent big-money deals could lead her to move on from the show, possibly leaving it behind for good. This has left Kris fearing that without Kim’s star power, the entire show could fall apart.
Kim recently signed a huge shapewear deal with Nike and gave fans a sneak peek of the collaboration on her Instagram, where she has over 350 million followers. This has made Kris even more concerned that Kim no longer needs the reality show to stay successful. The report suggested that Kris has been switching between begging Kim to stay and trying to pressure her with reminders of how important she is to the family brand. She has reportedly told Kim that the family could lose everything they’ve built if she walks away.
The report also mentioned that The Kardashians has been struggling with falling ratings and that tensions behind the scenes are at an all-time high. Kris, who is now 69 years old, is said to be working hard to keep the show alive almost single-handedly. But with Kim possibly on her way out, the pressure is mounting.
Sources claimed that many of the Kardashian-Jenner siblings are also growing tired of reality TV. While the show helped launch their careers, it seems that most of them no longer enjoy being followed by cameras all the time. They reportedly find the process tiring and intrusive. Despite this, business advisors have reminded them that the attention from the show is still useful for promoting their brands.
According to In Touch, the family knows that they can’t rely on reality TV income forever. Many of them—like Kourtney, Khloé, Kylie, and Kendall—are focusing more on their individual businesses in fashion, beauty, and even spin-off shows. This has raised questions about whether The Kardashians can continue to succeed if Kim decides to leave.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, the signs seem to show that Kim’s focus is shifting. And if she does go solo, it could bring big changes to one of reality TV’s most famous families.
